The document discusses natural extinction versus accelerated or human-caused extinction. It notes that 99.999% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct, with natural extinction occurring through environmental disturbances, while accelerated extinction is caused by human activities like hunting, agriculture, habitat destruction, pollution, and international trade. It states that the current rate of extinction is 50,000+ species every 5-10 years, and if nothing is done 1/3 of all living things may be lost within 30 years. The document lists characteristics of extinction-prone species and questions if the reader with those traits is doomed.

This document discusses forests, deforestation, wildlife management, fisheries, and endangered species. It notes that forests are economically and ecologically important but deforestation is a major environmental concern. Deforestation is driven by wood usage, which is predicted to double by 2050, and paper production, which uses 30% of the world's paper despite only 5% of the population. Unsustainable logging and fishing practices have depleted fish and whale populations. International agreements have established protections and regulations for fisheries, whaling, and endangered species to curb overexploitation and prevent extinctions.
This document discusses sustainable agriculture and its environmental impacts. It covers topics like soil structure and erosion, sustainable farming practices like crop rotation and cover crops, integrated pest management, causes of desertification, and issues with factory farming. The key goals of sustainable farming are to conserve soil and water resources and minimize pollution. Practices that reduce soil erosion include contour plowing, terracing, shelterbelts, and low- or no-till plowing. Cover crops and crop rotation help maintain soil nutrients and prevent excess nitrogen runoff. Integrated pest management uses a combination of biological, cultural and targeted chemical controls. Desertification is worsened by poor farming, overgrazing, deforestation and climate change.
Ch 9 ppt eating lower of the food chain Santiago High
The document discusses the environmental impacts of eating meat and dairy products, particularly beef and dairy cows. It notes that animal agriculture uses significant amounts of agricultural land, water, and fossil fuels to produce meat and dairy. Specifically, it states that cows alone use 50% of agricultural land but only provide 18% of calories. It also discusses the water, pollution, deforestation, and greenhouse gas impacts of industrial animal agriculture. The document advocates for eating lower on the food chain to reduce these environmental impacts.
Ecological restoration involves facilitating natural succession to help an ecosystem recover from human disturbance. There are two types of succession - primary succession establishes ecosystems in areas with no prior ecosystem, like retreating glaciers, while secondary succession reestablishes ecosystems following disturbances like fires. Restoration is difficult for lands that have lost organic matter or been subjected to overuse, and there does not appear to be a permanent climax state, as gradual loss of nutrients occurs even in mature ecosystems.
This document discusses biological productivity and energy flow in ecosystems. It begins by defining biomass as the total amount of organic matter in an ecosystem, which increases through plant and animal growth. It then explains that ecosystems are open to energy flow, with energy entering as food and leaving as heat or being stored. The laws of thermodynamics state that energy is conserved but always moves to less organized states, increasing entropy. Energy flows in one direction and organisms are generally inefficient at utilizing energy for growth.
This document provides student instructions for an activity exploring the theory of island biogeography. Students will simulate habitat fragmentation by analyzing how bean "migrants" spread from a main ecosystem to four island habitats of varying sizes and distances. They will conduct five trials, recording the number of beans reaching each island and calculating averages and percentages. The goal is to observe how island characteristics like size and distance affect biodiversity, as measured by the number of migrant beans reaching different islands.
1) This document contains an activity guiding students through a simulation of island biogeography. It asks students to hypothesize which type of island (large and close, large but far, small but close, small and far) will receive the most immigrants.
2) Students are instructed to record immigration data to each island type over 5 years and calculate averages to determine which island received the highest percentage of total immigrants.
3) The document asks students to analyze whether their original hypothesis was correct based on the results and explain the outcomes of the simulation.
This document provides an outline of key concepts and material to include in a study guide for chapters 6-8 of an environmental science textbook. The summary should include:
1. Ecological topics such as food webs, trophic levels, keystone species, and the basic processes in ecosystems.
2. Factors that increase and decrease biodiversity, reasons to preserve biodiversity, and the different types of biological diversity.
3. Evolutionary concepts including natural selection, mutation, adaptation, and speciation.
4. Ecological interactions like niches, competition, and symbiosis and being able to analyze examples.
5. Comparing reproduction strategies like r-selected and K-selected
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted in 1973 as the most far-reaching law for endangered species preservation passed by any nation. It protects over 1000 animals and provides penalties for harming endangered species or their habitats. The ESA works by listing species, designating critical habitats, developing recovery plans, and reviewing federal agency actions. The Lacey Act, originally passed in 1900, was one of the earliest US laws aimed at wildlife protection and was expanded in 1981 and 1988 to prohibit illegal wildlife trade internationally and domestically. CITES is an international agreement between governments to ensure wildlife trade does not threaten species' survival. It lists species in three appendices based on protection level.
This document discusses several key concepts related to biological diversity and biogeography:
1. It defines biological evolution as changes in inherited traits over generations and outlines some processes that lead to evolution like mutations, natural selection, genetic drift, and geographic isolation of populations.
2. It discusses factors that influence biodiversity like habitat diversity, species diversity, and environmental conditions. Greater biodiversity is seen in areas with more physically diverse habitats, moderate disturbance, and small environmental variation.
3. It outlines biogeography patterns seen on different continents and islands, explaining how continental drift, isolation, and adaptation to new environments has led to divergent evolution and speciation over time.

The document outlines key concepts about biogeochemical cycles for an APES chapter. Students should understand: 1) the differences between macro and micronutrients and examples of each, 2) the six main macronutrients and how limitations can impact growth, 3) the differences in cycling speed between elements with and without gaseous phases, 4) the four groups of cycles that make up the larger geologic cycle, and 5) human impacts that can disrupt the nitrogen, carbon, and water cycles.
This document discusses ecosystems and ecological communities through a case study on acorns and their connections. It emphasizes that living things are affected by and affect non-living things through complex relationships. It stresses the importance of understanding ecosystems, including their structure, processes, changes over time, energy flow, complexity, interconnectedness, and keystone species. Students are assigned to read three case studies and answer questions about bison, prairie dogs, wolves, and salmon to further examine these concepts.

It stresses the importance of understanding ecosystems, including their structure, processes, changes over time, energy flow, complexity, interconnectedness, and keystone species. It assigns reading three case studies on buffalo, prairie dogs, Yellowstone wolves, and salmon to answer topic questions.
This document discusses biogeochemical cycles, specifically the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles. It notes that the carbon cycle involves both gaseous (CO2, CH4) and non-gaseous forms. The nitrogen cycle moves between the atmosphere as N2 gas, into the soil through nitrogen fixation by bacteria, into plants, then back through decay. Phosphorus differs in that it has no gaseous stage and is stored in rocks and soil organic matter, becoming available to plants through microbial conversion to phosphates.
This document provides an overview of key concepts to understand for a chapter on human populations, including how to interpret age structure and demographic transition diagrams, calculate demographic rates, compare causes of mortality in developed and developing nations, identify effective ways to slow population growth, understand how technology impacts growth, recognize Thomas Malthus' predictions, compare exponential and logistic growth models, and examine population control policies of countries like China and India.
The document discusses human population growth and its environmental impacts. It uses Bangladesh as a case study. Some key points:
- Population growth has "exploded" in modern times due to factors like agriculture and industrialization. The world's population increases by over 1 million people every 4 days.
- Developing countries will play a bigger role in future population growth due to higher birth rates compared to developed countries.
- Population growth rates are slowing in developed countries as they undergo demographic transitions towards lower birth rates with improved living standards and education.
