Draw a diagram that shows how the element Calcium might cyclethrough the components of a terrestrial ecosystem, includingdifferent trophic levels. Label all arrows that show Calcium fluxesand depict the direction of Calcium flow with the direction ofarrows. Include all major components and fluxes in an ecosystemnutrient cycle.
Some hints: Calcium originates from rocks and soil minerals.There is hardly any in the air except in dust. Calcium is needed byall organisms, in large quantities for bones and shells in animals,but also for essential cell functions in bacteria, other microbes,plants, and animals.
Create a flow chart diagram with labeled arrows and either labeledboxes or labeled drawings of ecosystem components.
