2. The biotic factors of the Mediterranean forests are the
following:
Plants: The most common is the oak (el roble). There are pines
and some deciduous tree (de hoja caduca). Thyme (tomillo),
rosemary (romero), ivy (hiedra) and honeysuckle (madreselva)
that are plants adapted to capture light climbing trees. There
are also common mosses, ferns and annuals such as violets.
Annual plants are those that live only one season or period.
The animal kingdom is very diverse: rodents (roedores), rabbits,
wild boars (jabalíes), foxes, badgers (tejones), many reptiles,
birds and arthropods.
5. TROPHIC LEVELS
PRIMARY PRODUCER: They are autotrophs, organisms that
produce organic matter "primarily" based on inorganic, by
photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
CONSUMERS: They are heterotrophic organisms that produce
organic matter on the basis of organic matter derived from
other living beings.
-PRIMARY CONSUMERS: They are organisms that feed on
producers.
-SECONDARIS CONSUMERS: They are carnivores that feed on
primary consumers.
-TERTIARY CONSUMERS: They are organisms that feed on
primary and secondary consumers.
6. TROPHIC LEVEL II: Decomposers
They are organisms that feed on secondary consumers
decompose organic waste by enzymatic and absorb external
substances for food

8. HUMAN ACTIONS
If an ecosystem, in this case the Mediterranean forest, is
altered by human actions, this would cause the extinction of
animal and plant species.
