Backyard ecosystem

Describe your backyard ecosystem.  Remember to include land (slope, flat, etc.),water, animals (yes, the yucky bugs are important,) plants, and climate.  Use the following labels:  cultures, g&he, geography,maps,ecosystem

Here is an example to get you started.....

My back yard has a very gradual slope and most of the water collects at the bottom. We don't have an irrigation system because we get plenty of water and if we don't we use our hose. In my yard we have many plants in our yard such as raspberries, black berries, strawberries, peas, beans, squash, and tomatoes. We also have many trees, our non-fruit bearing are a maple tree and about 30 arborvitae. Our fruit bearing trees are Asian pears and 2 persimmon trees. I don't have many animals at my house mainly just blue jays, robins, guarder snakes, squirrels, and little tiny birds I can't identify. One very special time we had a red tailed hawk in one of the persimmon trees. Sometimes on summer nights we can hear frog croaking in our back yard and occasionally we find them in our rain barrel. Our climate is Marine West Coast.
