Forest ecosystem
This document summarizes and compares the structure and function of forest and grassland ecosystems. It outlines the key abiotic and biotic components of each system. Forest ecosystems contain a diversity of tree species that serve as primary producers, along with various herbivores, omnivores, and decomposers like fungi and bacteria. Grassland ecosystems are found in regions with moderate rainfall and are dominated by grasses and forbs as producers, and grazing herbivores as primary consumers. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead organic matter in both forest and grassland systems.
forest ecosystem
A forest ecosystem is a terrestrial unit consisting of interacting living organisms and their environment. Forests occupy 40% of the world's land and provide many resources, but face threats from deforestation. Deforestation worsens global warming by reducing carbon absorption, damages ecosystems by degrading habitats and increasing flooding/erosion, and causes species extinction by destroying biodiversity. Solutions include corporations implementing anti-deforestation policies, governments enacting ambitious forest protection policies and supporting conservation groups, and individuals reducing paper usage and choosing recycled products.

Ecosystem
An ecosystem is defined as the interaction between living and nonliving parts of an environment. Living things like plants and animals depend on nonliving elements like sunlight, air, water and soil to survive. Changes to one part of an ecosystem can impact other parts, such as a hurricane damaging fruit trees and reducing the food source for monkey populations.
The terrestrial habitat
Terrestrial ecosystems are ecosystems that exist on land, as opposed to aquatic ecosystems. They can vary greatly in size and include ecosystems like forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundra. Terrestrial ecosystems are characterized by greater temperature fluctuations, higher light availability, and more readily available gases than aquatic ecosystems. They contain a variety of plant life like flowering plants, conifers, and mosses, as well as many animal species including insects, birds, and mammals. Abiotic factors like temperature, sunlight, water, and wind all influence the living and non-living components of terrestrial ecosystems.
Intro To Forest Ecology
This document provides an introduction to forest ecology, discussing key concepts and topics. It covers three major topics: site factors like climate, substrate and hydrology that influence forest composition; forest succession and changes over time due to disturbance; and natural disturbances like flooding, fire, wind, ice, insects and disease. Forest ecology examines how living organisms interact with each other and the physical environment in complex forest ecosystems.
Ecosystems
The document defines key terms related to ecosystems, including environment, ecosystem, population, community, habitat. It explains that living parts of an ecosystem depend on non-living parts like water, air, sunlight and on other living parts for food. It provides examples of coastal redwood trees and foxes/rabbits to illustrate these relationships. It describes how a habitat must provide everything a plant or animal needs, using the example of a sidewinder snake in the desert. It defines a population as a group of the same species that live together, and a community as all living things that share a place. Finally, it explains how ecosystems can change over time, such as due to increased rain or a fire altering plant and animal populations
What factors influence ecosystems
Plants and animals depend on each other to survive in an ecosystem. They are biotic factors that interact through providing food and shelter. Animals also affect plants through behaviors like eating some plants, fertilizing soil, and burrowing. Abiotic factors like sunlight, water, soil conditions and climate also impact ecosystems by influencing what plants can grow and whether animals have resources to live. Ecosystems vary based on location and climate, with different communities in places like rainforests, deserts, deciduous forests, savannas, taigas and tundras.
Biomes & Ecosystems
The document defines biomes and ecosystems and provides key facts about forest biomes and ecosystems. It discusses the main types of forests - tropical, temperate, and boreal - and compares them in terms of net primary productivity (NPP) and biomass.

Types of ecosystem
An ecosystem consists of the biological community and abiotic environment in a specific locale. There are three major classes of ecosystems: freshwater, terrestrial, and ocean. Terrestrial ecosystems include seven major types that vary based on location and precipitation levels, such as tropical rainforests, savannas, deserts, temperate grasslands, deciduous forests, coniferous forests, and tundra. Oceans cover most of the Earth and contain shallow ocean waters, deep ocean waters, and deep ocean surface ecosystems.
Summary of topic 2.4
The document discusses biomes and the factors that determine different biome types. It explains that the three main determining factors for biomes are the amount of water (rainfall), amount of sunlight (insolation), and temperature. These factors affect photosynthesis and net primary productivity, which then determines the location and composition of different biomes. The document provides descriptions of several biomes including tropical rainforest, savanna, temperate deciduous forest, grassland, cold desert, and tundra. It also introduces the tri-cellular model of atmospheric circulation that helps explain the global distribution of biomes.
NE Mosaic approach: Managing habitats for species - introduction
Introduction to the Mosaic approach: A series of visual, interactive guides designed to help land managers manage habitats in a way that supports multiple species by developing “mosaics” of different environmental features at a landscape scale, within a range of habitat types.
8[1].1 biotic & abiotic components
This document discusses the components and interactions within ecosystems. It defines an ecosystem and identifies its two main components as abiotic (non-living) factors like climate and biotic (living) organisms. The biotic components are classified into producers, consumers, and decomposers. Their interactions through food chains, food webs, and symbiosis are explained. Competition between organisms and predator-prey relationships are also covered.
Habitat and niche report
This document discusses habitat and niche. It defines habitat as the natural environment where an organism lives, including physical factors like temperature and moisture as well as biotic factors like availability of food and predators. A microhabitat refers to small-scale habitat requirements. Examples of animal and plant habitats are provided for different regions. Niche is defined as an organism's role in an ecosystem, including what it eats, where it lives, and what it does. The fundamental niche is the full range of conditions an organism can survive in, while the realized niche is the actual conditions it is found in due to interactions. Examples of beaver, raccoon, and red-tailed hawk/barred owl niches are described to illustrate these concepts
6377.types of ecosystems 10
The document describes several types of ecosystems including terrestrial, aquatic, and man-made ecosystems. It provides details about forest, grassland, desert, cropland, freshwater, marine, and estuarine ecosystems. Forest ecosystems depend on climate factors and have producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and decomposers. Grasslands cover 19% of earth and have producers like herbs and shrubs, and various consumer levels. Deserts constitute 17% of land and species have adaptations to reduce water loss.
Ecosystems
Use evidence to support arguments that changing any physical or biological component of an ecosystem may result in shifts in the populations of species in the ecosystem.
11 Ecology
Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment. It involves interactions between organisms and both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors. Ecology can be studied at different levels of complexity, from the individual organism to the biosphere. Populations are dynamic groups of organisms of the same species that live in the same area. Population size and composition can change over time due to factors such as birth rates, death rates, migration patterns, and population density.
What are the parts of the ecosystem
An ecosystem consists of all the living and non-living things in an area and their interactions. It includes biotic factors like plants, animals and other organisms, as well as abiotic factors such as soil, water and weather. Individuals make up populations of the same species, and all the populations that live in a given area together form the biological community. Ecosystems can range in size from small areas under rocks to large regions like forests.
Forest ecology 2011 armn
The document provides an overview of forest ecology, including how trees grow, the distribution and diversity of forests, forest habitats and ecology, forest management, and threats to forests. It discusses tree cell structure, growth through primary and secondary meristems, tree cross-sections and aging. It also covers climate zones, soil types, forest types, and forest layers that provide habitat. Forest management objectives, harvests as disturbances, and threats such as missing predators, deer, and invasive plants are summarized.
Blue print science
1. The document contains a blueprint for a science exam on forests that includes a content analysis, weightage to units and objectives, and types of questions.
2. It provides justification for allocating higher weightage to the interrelationship between forest components unit and to knowledge and understanding objectives.
3. The blueprint outlines the number and weightage of items, as well as the distribution of questions across multiple choice, very short, and short answer formats.
Environmental science engineering
A forest ecosystem is a terrestrial unit consisting of interacting living organisms and their environment. Forests occupy 40% of the world's land area and provide many resources, but face problems. Deforestation worsens global warming by reducing carbon absorption. It also impacts ecosystems, water, soils, plants, and wildlife. Tropical rainforests contain half the world's species, so their destruction causes massive biodiversity loss and extinction. Solutions include corporate anti-deforestation policies, government reforestation and policy support for conservation, and individual choices to recycle and buy recycled products.

This document provides information about a social studies lesson plan for Class VIII on the topic of geography, land, soil, water, natural vegetation, and wildlife. It includes 4 learning periods that cover different objectives and activities. The objectives focus on understanding land use and distribution of population, causes of landslides and methods of soil conservation, availability and uses of water and methods of water conservation, and natural vegetation, wildlife, and their conservation.
Major types of ecosystem
This document discusses the major types of ecosystems. It defines terrestrial ecosystems as land ecosystems like grasslands, deserts, and forests. Aquatic ecosystems are divided into freshwater ecosystems found in lakes, rivers, and wetlands, and marine ecosystems found in oceans. Some key points made are:
- Terrestrial ecosystems are differentiated based on dominant plant life and climate factors. Examples given are deserts, grasslands, and forests.
- Aquatic ecosystems include freshwater habitats like lakes and rivers, as well as marine habitats like coral reefs and coastal wetlands.
- Ecosystems maintain a balance and ecological succession between living and non-living elements. Human activities can disrupt this balance, threatening wildlife conservation
Biomes
- Biomes are large ecosystems defined by climate, plants and animals. The main factors that determine a biome are temperature and rainfall.
- Six main biomes are described: tropical rainforests, tropical grasslands, tropical deserts, temperate grasslands, temperate coniferous forests, and arctic tundra.
- Climate largely determines the types of plants in an area, which then support certain animal life. Temperature and precipitation patterns dictate the distribution of global biomes.
4.4 -- BIO
The document defines biomes as major terrestrial ecosystems classified based on regional climate. It describes the key abiotic and biotic factors that characterize several major biomes including tropical rainforests, tropical dry forests, tropical grasslands/savannas, deserts, temperate grasslands, temperate woodlands/shrublands, temperate forests, northwestern coniferous forests, boreal forests, and tundra. Each biome is defined in terms of its climate, soil, characteristic plant and animal life, and adaptations required to survive within the biome.
Science 7 notes gb lab 01 which biome where 2012 20 13
This document provides an overview of biomes and ecosystems, including key terms, characteristics of major land and aquatic biomes, and supporting concepts like adaptation, dormancy, hibernation, and migration. It aims to help students differentiate between ecosystems and biomes, investigate and understand the characteristics of terrestrial, marine, and freshwater biomes, and compare and contrast the biotic and abiotic features of these major biomes.
Global Climate Change
Global climate change threatens all of Earth's biomes. The rainforest biome is especially at risk due to species' inability to adapt to temperature and precipitation changes. Tundra and desert biomes may no longer support their current vegetation. Oceans are also impacted through changes in circulation, erosion, sea levels, and species distribution. All biomes will experience fluctuations that endanger existing plants and animals. Collective action is needed to spread awareness and address the causes and effects of climate change globally.

4.2 what are ecosystems
There are several main types of ecosystems described in the document: deserts, which are very dry; grasslands, which receive more rain than deserts but less than other ecosystems; forests, which contain many trees; saltwater ecosystems like oceans; and freshwater ecosystems like rivers and ponds. Each ecosystem contains different plants and animals adapted to survive the particular environmental conditions, such as high temperatures in deserts or saltwater in oceans.

Sistema de costa bosque seco de guanica
The dry forest ecosystem of Guánica, Puerto Rico is home to over 700 plant species and valuable for its biodiversity and adaptations. It receives 24-43 inches of annual rainfall, but remains dry due to the rain shadow effect of surrounding mountains. Plants and animals in this ecosystem have evolved adaptations to survive the dry conditions, such as losing leaves during dry periods (caducity) and storing water in stems or leaves. The underground biomass also plays an important role in nutrient exchange and runoff absorption. The ecosystem is protected as a UNESCO biosphere reserve due to its exemplary species diversity and adaptations.
Biomas
There are 8 major biomes on Earth: freshwater, marine, forests, deserts, grasslands, tundra, taiga, and Mediterranean. Each biome is characterized by distinct plant and animal life that is adapted to the climate and resources available, such as forests being home to diverse communities and tundra having extremely low temperatures that only certain resilient plants can survive. Understanding the different biomes is important because human actions like overfishing, pollution, and deforestation threaten these ecological communities.

1. Biomes are defined as large regions characterized by distinct plant and animal life. The document discusses several major biomes including forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic biomes.
2. Each biome has unique abiotic factors like climate and soil that have shaped the adaptations of the plants and animals living there. For example, desert plants have small leaves or none at all to reduce water loss, while aquatic biomes range from freshwater to marine environments.
3. Many biomes are threatened by human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity and restore degraded ecosystems.

This document compares and contrasts the vegetation diversity between West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. It finds that West Bengal has a larger variety of vegetation types, including tropical forests, mangrove wetlands, and riverside vegetation, due to its climatic conditions. In comparison, Tamil Nadu has a less diverse flora consisting of dry deciduous, evergreen forests and moist deciduous forests. Both states have unique vegetation influenced by their geography and climate, and both are taking conservation efforts while still facing challenges to maintaining biodiversity.
Biomes (1)
The document defines biomes as large areas characterized by their climate, plants, and animals. It describes six major land biomes: temperate deciduous forest, coniferous forest, tropical rainforest, grasslands/savanna, deserts, and tundra. It also discusses two major aquatic biomes: marine ecosystems like coral reefs and freshwater ecosystems like wetlands. The objective is to understand the environmental conditions in these biomes and how the organisms within them depend on one another.

Sample ESS IA .pdf
This document outlines an investigation into the effect of carbon dioxide emissions on temperature in the USA and UK from 2009-2019. The research question asks to what extent different levels of CO2 concentration in the USA vs the UK affect average temperature. Secondary data on CO2 emissions and average temperature in both countries will be collected from credible sources over the 10-year period. The hypothesis is that there is a correlation between CO2 concentrations and temperature trends, and differences in CO2 levels between the countries will result in differences in temperature trends. Key variables are CO2 concentration as the independent variable and average temperature as the dependent variable.

ESS Field Trip 2019-Sundarbans,West Bengal,India
As part of the IB philosophy, one must understand that not everything can be taught within the classroom. Thus, field trips provide the perfect opportunity to apply ourselves fruitfully. Laden with their luggage, and appetite for knowledge, the group of ESS and Geography students readied themselves for the learning expedition to Sundarbans, West Bengal.
The most engaging component of ESS & Geo IBDP is the coursework/fieldwork which culminates in an Analytical report based on Primary Data which the students gather and work upon. In this context we are all set to embark on our journey to Sundarbans Delta (UNESCO World Heritage site) which is located in Kolkata. This year 41 IBDP students with 4 teachers ventured for the very first time in the country to visit the Sundarbans(Kolkata) for the field trip.
The IBDP ESS & Geography students studied “Ecological Footprints of Eco tourism & Environmental Sustainability, Quality and Patterns of Resource Consumption” with special reference to Mangrove forest of Sundarbans, West Bengal.
ESS INTERNAL ASSESSMENT 2019-SURVEY & SIMPSON DIVERSITY
Farmers from Maldevta Village, who work in the lowest sector of the economy, have minimal land and resources to help them grow crops. This obligates them to enter the hills with their cattle to allow grazing. Farmers also clear some forest areas, to increase their farm land for more income, thus reducing the biodiversity. As a result of the reduced in forest area and resources, wild animals invade villages and destroy farmlands. In some cases, because of minimal knowledge of the chemical Pesticides, it’s overuse affects not only the farmland, but also nearby water resources as it leads to eutrophication. This relates to my RQ because after surveying the villagers and collecting the raw data from the Simpson’s Diversity index it allowed me to evaluate the effect of human intervention on the natural environment and thus evaluating the effect of Ecological Footprint.
ESS IA 2019 -Simpsom Diversity
This IA talks about research is to compare Simpson Diversity of four areas of Mahendrapur village based on the amount of sunlight received and the amount of nutrients found near the place where they are located (near the water body or away from the water body).
