17- 21 We opened our ecosystems and ours looked amazing. We are going to try to keep it alive until feb. , Our teacher wants to take my groups to show. Im really excited.
 
Today our Co2 was a little lower then before. Our Oxygen seemed to have risen a little more. For our ecosystem to be Primary Succession it would have to have no dirt in it at all. So we learned today that our ecosystem is Secondary Succession. We have made a human disturbance and that's what made it secondary succession.

Co2- .99%
Temperature- 70 degrees Fahrenheit
Oxygen- 10.88%
 
Our salamander has been in the fish bowl a lot more here lately more then ever. Our oxygen and Co2 didn't change from yesterday. It stayed the same. Our water cycle is amazing. There always seems to be condensation on the top of our ecosystem.

Oxygen- 10.65%
Co2- .99%
Temperature- 72 degrees Fahrenheit
 
Most of our bean plants are sprouting. We have observed that our spider plant is growing larger in size too. For what i could see there were no crickets in the biome. Today was the first day we measured i CO2 and our Oxygen levels. We also measured a couple of our tallest plants and I'd say they're about 6-8 inches tall. The limiting factors in our ecosystem is food, water, space and population space. The carrying capacity is one frog, one salamander and one fish.

Temperature- 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Co2- .99%
Oxygen- 10.66%
 
We put about 40 crickets in our biome. The toad ate most of them last time and it seems like the salamander isn't getting any. Poor salamander. :( We have a lot of bean plants growing since the reconstruction was done. We sealed the top vent so that none of the outside air doesn't get in.
 
We are getting everything ready to seal up our bio bubbles. My group and I checked the Ph levels and we are neutral. Our soil is good and moist. We have a lot of moisture in our ecosystem. Now since we just recently took out the mouse, we rebuilt everything and the tunnels are gone, so now stitch the salamander cant burrow in them.
 
We have a lot of beans growing now. Our water cycle is going very well. We replaced our fire bellied toad with a common brown toad. I haven't gotten to do any research on him yet. He sure does like to eat crickets though.
 
Our ecosystem is destroyed. Our mouse has dug up everything. The mouse would dig up the growing plants and put them in the fishes bowl. I'm really surprised the fish has lived through what the mouse has done. My group and I have decided to take the mouse out of our ecosystem that way it can actually look like an ecosystem. Now the only animals we have are the fire bellied toad and the yellow spotted salamander. We decided to do a reconstruction of our bio bubble. The fish bowl is now located in the middle of our bio bubble.
 
Our mouse has dug a couple tunnels all the way around our bubble. I think our salamander has burrowed himself in one of the tunnels. i hope hes gonna be okay. Our fish has made it through the past two days of the mouse putting stuff in his bowl.

Day 8-

Today we are working on our food webs and our water cycle. Our salamander will burrow him self in a hole that he digs. Ive done some research on him and it says that this salamander loves to be in very moist places.
