The document summarizes the major biomes and ecological zones of Earth. It describes 13 different environments: biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, temperature deciduous forest, coniferous forest, tropical forest, grassland, tundra, desert, inland waters, oceanic environments including rocky intertidal zone, rocky subtidal zone, nearshore soft sediments, deep-sea sediments, hydrothermal vents, and pelagic realm. Each environment is characterized by its climate, dominant plant and animal species, and ecological features.
Freshwater Ecosystems include standing water or lentic such as lakes, ponds, marshes and wet lands, and the flowing water or lotic such as spring, streams and rivers. This ecosystem is normally of very low salinity usually between 15 to 30 ppt. They are highly variable and their characteristics depend upon the surrounding geology, land use and pollution levels.
An introduction to the 4 spheres that make up the interconnected global systems of the earth: the lithosphere, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere.

In just over two weeks, Japan will be observing the one-year anniversary of the disastrous magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that struck its east coast in March of 2011. The destruction was unprecedented and the loss of life and property were staggering -- more than 15,800 are confirmed dead, with another 3,300 still listed as missing nearly a year later. Photographers documented the many faces of this tragedy and have now returned to give us a look at the difference a year can make, re-shooting places that were photographed during and immediately after the quake.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

With each of the past 3 Ruby releases, YJIT has delivered higher and higher performance. However, we are seeing diminishing returns, because as JIT-compiled code becomes faster, it makes up less and less of the total execution time, which is now becoming dominated by C function calls. As such, it may appear like there is a fundamental limit to Ruby’s performance.
In the first half of the 20th century, some early airplane designers thought that the speed of sound was a fundamental limit on the speed reachable by airplanes, thus coining the term “sound barrier”. This limit was eventually overcome, as it became understood that airflow behaves differently at supersonic speeds.
In order to break the Ruby performance barrier, it will be necessary to reduce the dependency on C extensions, and start writing more gems in pure Ruby code. In this talk, I want to look at this problem more in depth, and explore how YJIT can help enable writing pure-Ruby software that delivers high performance levels.

Biosphere
1. ’s
in veneer on the earth
A l l l if e is c o n f in e d t o a t h
surface called the
BIOSPHERE
2. Biosphere
• Biosphere is the global ecological
system integrating all living beings
and their relationships.
• Usually defined as the thin outer
layer of the earth capable of
supporting life.
4. LITHOSPHERE
The rocky material of the earth’s
outer shell and is the ultimate source
of all mineral elements required by
living organisms.
5. hydroSPHERE
The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth.
The abundance of water on Earth is a unique feature that
clearly distinguishes our "Blue Planet" from others in the
solar system.
Not a drop of liquid water can be found anywhere else in the
solar system. It is because the Earth has just the right
mass, the right chemical composition, the right
atmosphere, and is the right distance from the Sun that
permits water to exist mainly as a liquid.
Most of the water is contained in the oceans
6. atmOSPHERE
The gaseous component of the
biosphere.
Extends up to some 3500 km
above the earth’s surface, but all
life is confined to the lowest 8 to
15 km (TROPOSPHERE).
The screening layer in the
atmosphere of oxygen-zone is
concentrated mostly between 20 –
25 km.
7.
8. Greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect is the rise in
temperature that the Earth experiences
because certain gases in the atmosphere
(water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide,
and methane, for example) trap energy from
the sun. Without these gases, heat would
escape back into space and Earth’s average
temperature would be about 60ºF colder.
Because of how they warm our world, these
gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
9.
10. Terrestrial Environments: BIOMES
• A biome is a major biotic unit bearing a
characteristic and easily recognized array of
plant life.
• A biome is identified by its dominant plant
formation but, because animals depend on
plants, each biome supports a characteristic
fauna.
• A biome,s distinctiveness is determined
mainly by climate.
11.
12. Temperature Deciduous
Forest
• This biome occupies the eastern half of the United
States and a large portion of Europe.
• It is characterized by: hardwood trees (e.g., beech,
maple, oak, hickory) which are deciduous(shed their
leaves in the autumn).
• Large stands dominated by a single species are
common.
• Deer, raccoons, and salamanders are characteristic
inhabitants.
• During the growing season, this biome can be quite
productive in both natural and agricultural
ecosystems.
13. Coniferous Forest
• This biome is found in the upper areas of North America and Asia
• Tall mountains have supported vigorous tree growth and a large
animal population.
• Many animals like the white tailed deer, Reeve's muntjac, fox,
mice, owls, and squirrels are found in this area.
• The weather in this biome is very cold. It is stormy in the winter
and hot. There are usually many lightning storms in the summer.
• There are many plants in this biome, but three dominate more
than others. These are: pine, fir, and spruce trees. Mosses are also
found almost anywhere here
14. Tropical Forest
• The Tropical Rain forest contains trees standing 30 to 55
meters in height, creating a continuous canopy of foliage.
The enclosed canopy shades the forest floor inhibiting the
development of much undergrowth, creating an open
forest formation
• The intense precipitation of the tropical rainforest climate
heavily leaches the soil.
• Oxisol soil common to the rain forest are relatively infertile
due to intense weathering and a lack of available nutrients.
Deforestation and habitat destruction is severely crippling
the rain forest ecosystem.
15. Grassland
• The Grassland biome is dominated by grasses of a
variety of species, all having adapted to the summer
drought common to their semiarid habitat.
• Prairies are found on the humid side of the grassland
biome and are often referred to as the tall-grass
prairie.
• On the drier side of the grassland biome lies the
steppe grasslands. Vegetation must cope with the
summer soil moisture deficit common to the steppe
climate in which this formation class is found.
16. Tundra
• Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from
the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain.
Characteristics of tundra include:
• Extremely cold climate
• Low biotic diversity
• Simple vegetation structure
• Limitation of drainage
• Short season of growth and reproduction
• Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material
• Large population oscillations
17. Desert
• Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earth's surface
and occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year.
• There are relatively few large mammals in deserts
because most are not capable of storing sufficient
water and withstanding the heat.
• Deserts often provide little shelter from the sun for
large animals. The dominant animals of warm deserts
are nonmammalian vertebrates, such as reptiles.
Mammals are usually small, like the kangaroo mice of
North American deserts.
18. Inland Waters
• Of all the worl’ds water, 2.5% is fresh.
• Inland waters exist as running-water, or
LOTIC.
(brooks or streams)
• Standing water or LENTIC.
(ponds or lakes)
19. Oceanic Environments
• This is the largest zone in the ocean.
• as deep as 11,000 m below the surface.
• Sunlight does not penetrate very deep into
the oceanic zone.
• Cradle of life
• BETHNIC (seabed)
• PELAGIC (open ocean)
20. Rocky Intertidal Zone
• This zone is located along the shoreline of
the world ocean.
• Exposed to air during low tides
• Animals of intertidal communities experience
daily fluctuations between marine and
terrestial environments.
21. Rocky Subtidal Zone
• This area is submerged most of the time,
exposed briefly during extreme low tides
around full and new moon events.
• This zone provides habitat to a large diversity of
plants and animals in contrast to the other
zones.
• It is dominated by red algae and the most
common animals found here are the grazers
such as periwinkles and sea urchins.
22. Nearshore Soft Sediments
• Small creeks in salt marshes are particularly
favorable in habitats for many polychaetes,
mussels and fishes.
• In calm waters of tropical and subtropical
marine coasts, mangrove trees grow in
submerged soft sediments, forming thick
forests along the shoreline.
23. Deep-Sea Sediments
• The deep sea includes the continental slope,
continental rise and abyssal pain.
• Suspension-feeding invertebrates dominate
sandy subtrates.
24. Hydrothermal Vents
• Hydtrothermal vents occur on abyssal plain
in areas of submarine volacanic activity.
• Hydrothermal vents are ephemeral; repeated
colonization of newly formed vents
propagate these communities.
25. Pelagic Realm
• The vast open ocean is called the pelagic
realm.
• 90% of the total ocean
• Areas of upwelling and convergence of ocean
currents are vital sources of nutrient renewal
for the surface photic zone.
