Our Ecosystem

week 7
This week we decided to open the decomposition chamber to see if we had anything living. The soil and mulch had compacted and we needed to add some more. We found some exiting things going on. We found the we had a isopod living and black mold. Molds derive energy not through photosynthesis but from the organic matter. Organic material enables the recycling of nutrients throughout our ecosystems. Is very interesting how mold occur, I'm guessing ours came from the juice and the lemon and banana we added at the beginning of the project. In the aquatic chamber the plant was still living and the water was a little brown from the decomp since we added water to the plant last week. Let's see what happens next week....
