The Mediterranean forest ecosystem relies on various biotic and abiotic factors. Producers include plants like madrone, oak, and cistus that support primary consumers like rabbits and deer. Secondary consumers such as snakes and lizards prey on primary consumers, while tertiary consumers like eagles and lynx consume secondary consumers. Decomposers break down organic matter. Any human-caused changes could disrupt this balance and endanger animal and plant species in both the short and long term.
