The document summarizes information about deciduous forests in Prince William Forest Park in Northern Virginia. It discusses keystone species like white-tailed deer and mutualistic relationships exemplified by coyotes and wiregrass. It also outlines some threats like invasive Asian gypsy moths that consume trees. Environmental laws like the Wilderness Act and NEPA help protect these forests from destruction and overdevelopment.

Environmental laws that protect the deciduous forest:
Wilderness Act of 1964 helps to protect wilderness in the United States, therefore it protects the deciduous forests Flowering Dogwood Tree American Beaver Oriole Coyote from being destroyed. It prevents trees from being cut down which will prevent deforestation and allow the deciduous forest to flourish. NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act.) prevents the government from building on land that occupies wildlife. This act is a proactive approach to protecting the forest and the wildlife that lives in it. Keystone Species White Oak Tree Gypsy Moth Bull Frog White tail deer are a keystone species because they are a valuable resource enjoyed by many, meaning that a white tailed deer is a prey for many other animals. If you were to take it out of the food web then many animals would be affected and it could possibly lead to destruction of the ecosystem. Symbiotic Relationship Black Bear Phytoplankton Zooplankton Largemouth Bass Mutualism- Coyotes eats the white tailed deer, and the white tailed deer eat wiregrass.Therefore, there is a mutualistic relationship between the coyote and the wiregrass. The wiregrass is able to survive because the coyote eats the wiregrass predator. Invasive Species Asian Gypsy Moth- a pest that eats trees and therefore breaks them down, dismembering the deciduous forests. Resource Partitioning Resource partitioning can lead to more biodiversity within the deciduous forest, but it can cause niches to overlap. This could be a problem because if different species are sharing the same habitat then competition will increase Dogwood Anthracnose Ceratocystis and resources will decrease. This could possibly lead to endangerment of a particular species involved in this Fungus-decays flowering Fagacerum-decays Proteobacteria- decays dead competition if they are having difficulty with survival due to this limitation on resources. dogwood tree white oak tree organisms
