Symbiotic Relationship
One example of a symbiotic relationship in taiga involves a lichen and a black spruce tree. The lichen needs food and the tree produces dead matter. The dead matter is consumed by the lichen, which in turn provides nutrients for the spruce. This is an example of mutualism. Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit in the relationship!Another example of a symbiotic relationship in the taiga involves birds making their nest, and trees. The relationship is called commensalism. A bird creates its nest in a high part of a tree to try and avoid predators from reaching its eggs/young. In commensalism, only one organism is benefiting from it, but the other organism is still left unharmed.
Last but not least we have parasitism. In parasitism, only one organism benefits, but the other organism is left either harmed or dead. The example i have for this is the tiny insect parasites are covering the caterpillar, taking its nutrients for themselves. In the end this caterpillar will most likely die.
In many ways these symbiotic relationships are different, like how some kill one organism and some are left unharmed. But they are the same because they are causing some of the species to survive in a way better then they would on their own.
