Food Chains in Your Backyard

A food chain is a useful way to visually organize backyard organisms’ interdependence. Similarly, a backyard food web shows how food chains connect within this ecosystem. This comprehensible volume, a valuable addition to any STEM library, will introduce budding scientists to the organisms that may consider their yard—a unique habitat—“home.” In fact, plants and animals depend on that space and each other for survival. Interesting photographs, diagrams, and fact boxes add interest to the accessible curricular concepts.
