Cave Ecology

Stresses the sensitive nature of a cave ecosystem by focusing upon the interrelationships of the organisms which make up the cave community and indicates that because of this strong interdependence, small changes in any one plant or animal population may adversely affect the entire cave. Explains that all organisms need energy to survive and describes the energy source for cave organisms. Contrasts the plants and animals in the cave community with those in the forest directly above the cave and gives reasons for the difference.
