    Describe the characteristics of an ecosystem?
    I live in Georgia, does it compare with the ecosystem in the Mississippi Delta?

    Actually there is a big difference between most of Georgia and the Mississippi Delta.


    Read this first: Expectations for the Homework Help board
    Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

    We won't do your homework questions for you.
    You were given the assignment for you to learn.

    If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

    If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
    But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

    Thank you.

    No that was not a homework question. I am trying to understand the difference between the two.

    I would first look at geography of the two areas. Both are fairly flat... but the Delta region is much lower and sediment built up from being a flood plain at the terminus of the Mississippi river. Georgia on the other hand isn't. Except for the swampy southern part. Both are fairly hot... and humid, only parts of Georgia isn't quite as humid.

    That's going to have a huge factor in the Flora and Fauna your are going find, and those are integral parts of any ecosystem.

    I'm not terribly familiar with that part of the country... but I have been through it, and have spent enough time in the woods in several countries to say that can give you a good head start for what you are looking for specifically.
