I cannot draw, but I can provide you with the requested information.

Canadian Biome: Boreal Forest

Organisms:

1. Black Spruce (Producer)

2. Moose (Primary Consumer)

3. Red Fox (Secondary Consumer)

4. Snowshoe Hare (Primary Consumer)

5. American Black Bear (Secondary Consumer)

6. Grey Wolf (Tertiary Consumer)

7. Pine Marten (Secondary Consumer)

8. Northern Saw-whet Owl (Tertiary Consumer)

9. Red Squirrel (Primary Consumer)

10. Woodpecker (Secondary Consumer)

11. Fungi (Decomposer)

Food Web:

Black Spruce → Red Squirrel → Northern Saw-whet Owl

Black Spruce → Red Squirrel → Pine Marten

Black Spruce → Snowshoe Hare → Lynx

Black Spruce → Snowshoe Hare → Red Fox

Black Spruce → Moose → Grey Wolf

Black Spruce → Moose → American Black Bear

Black Spruce → Moose → Pine Marten

Black Spruce → Moose → Red Fox

Fungi → Decomposition → Nutrients for Black Spruce and other Producers

Note: This food web is just an example, and there can be many other organisms and relationships in the Boreal Forest biome.
