The document summarizes the carbon cycle, which is the process by which carbon atoms are recycled through biotic and abiotic parts of the environment. It involves photosynthesis by autotrophs like plants, which use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce sugars and oxygen. Heterotrophs like animals then consume the sugars through cellular respiration, releasing carbon dioxide and water. Carbon is also stored both inorganically in the atmosphere, oceans, soil and organically in living things.

Carbon cycle
Carbon is an essential element that cycles between the atmosphere, ocean, organisms, and geologic reservoirs as part of the carbon cycle. Photosynthesis incorporates carbon from the air and water into organic compounds, while respiration and decomposition release it back. Fossil fuels like coal and oil were formed from ancient plant and algae remains over millions of years. Burning fossil fuels returns carbon to the air, and limestone erosion also adds carbon back to the cycle through weathering. The carbon cycle continuously moves carbon between the biosphere and geosphere.
Threats to biodiversity
The document discusses several key threats to biodiversity: habitat alteration, invasive species, pollution, population growth, and overexploitation, known by the acronym HIPPO. It provides examples and explanations of each threat. Habitat alteration, mainly through forest clearing, agriculture and urban development, affects most organisms by changing their adapted habitat. Invasive species have become the second worst threat after being introduced internationally. Pollution harms biodiversity but to a lesser extent than other threats. Population growth exacerbates all threats by increasing resource use and consumption. Overexploitation includes overharvesting wildlife and overconsumption of resources.
Carbon and nitrogen cycle
The document discusses the carbon and nitrogen cycles. It describes how carbon and nitrogen move between different reservoirs on Earth, including the atmosphere, living organisms, oceans, and fossil fuels. Key steps in the carbon cycle include photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and the burning of fossil fuels. The nitrogen cycle involves nitrogen fixation, decay, nitrification, and denitrification as microbes convert nitrogen between gas, organic, and inorganic forms. Human activities like burning fossil fuels are increasing carbon dioxide levels and affecting global climate.
Carbon cycle
The carbon cycle describes the movement of carbon between the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Carbon is incorporated into living things through photosynthesis and returns to the atmosphere and water through respiration, combustion and decomposition. It can also be buried deep underground over millions of years and later released through events like volcanic eruptions. The cycling of carbon is crucial for supporting life and regulating Earth's climate.
Carbon cycle
The carbon cycle describes the movement of carbon through Earth's atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living things. Carbon is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis and enters the biosphere, and is released back into the atmosphere through respiration and decomposition. Burning fossil fuels has increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, contributing to global climate change. The carbon cycle is essential for life and affects Earth's climate.
Biotic components
The document outlines the biotic components of an ecosystem, categorizing them as producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers are autotrophic organisms like plants that use photosynthesis to produce food from inorganic substances. Consumers include heterotrophic organisms like animals that obtain energy and nutrients by consuming producers and other organisms. Consumers are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers based on trophic level. Decomposers such as fungi and bacteria break down dead organic matter from producers and consumers, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Ecosystems and biomes
This document provides information about different ecosystems and biomes. It defines an ecosystem as the interactions between living and nonliving things in a place, and a biome as a large region with similar climate and organisms. It then describes several major biomes in more detail, including tundra, temperate forest, tropical rainforest, desert, savanna, grassland, and chaparral. Each biome section provides examples of characteristic plants, animals, climates, and locations.
Ecological succession
Ecological Succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over a period of time.
But, over a long period of time, the climate conditions of an ecosystem is bound to change.
No ecosystem has existed or will remain unchanged over a Geological Time Scale.

Invasive species powerpoint
Invasive species are introduced plants, animals, and microorganisms that negatively impact native ecosystems by outcompeting local species for resources and preying upon them without natural predators to control their growth. They can be transported unintentionally through various human means of travel and trade. Invasive species proliferate rapidly, reducing biodiversity and disrupting ecosystems, economies, and societies. Simple actions like cleaning gear and draining water from boats can help limit the spread of invasive species.
Population ecology
Population ecology examines how populations change over time based on birth, death, immigration, and emigration rates. Key concepts include:
- Populations have a density that can be influenced by density-dependent and density-independent factors.
- Natality is the birth rate and mortality is the death rate. These determine a population's growth rate.
- Populations can exhibit exponential or logistic growth patterns depending on available resources/carrying capacity.
- Reproductive strategies like r/K selection influence life history traits and population dynamics.
- Competition between species occupying the same niche frequently leads to competitive exclusion of one species.
Limiting factors
1) Limiting factors determine the maximum population size that an environment can support by restricting available resources. Common limiting factors include food, water, oxygen, temperature, light, and space.
2) Limiting factors can be density-dependent, affecting population size directly, or density-independent like natural disasters.
3) Biological factors include predation, competition, and parasitism through interaction between species, while physical factors comprise resources like nutrients, water, and temperature. Limiting factors regulate population growth and distribution.

Population growth curves
population growth curve describes how a population grows in nature and what are the different factors are associated with it.
Carbon Cycle
Carbon is one of the most important elements and is the main building block of organisms. It can be found in many everyday items and is readily available on Earth. Carbon dioxide in the air is used by plants through photosynthesis and enters animals when they eat food, then it is released back into the air through respiration. Fossil fuels are formed from decayed plants and animals over millions of years and release carbon dioxide when burned.
BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
The document discusses biodiversity from several perspectives:
- It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity.
- Biodiversity is the result of billions of years of evolution but is now seriously threatened by human activities like habitat loss and climate change.
- Maintaining biodiversity is important for ecological, economic, and moral reasons, and countries have legal obligations to protect biodiversity.
Limiting factors
Density independent and density dependent factors can limit population growth. Density independent factors like natural disasters, temperature, sunlight and human activities affect populations regardless of density. Density dependent factors like competition, predation, disease and crowding only impact populations at high densities. For example, yellow perch populations in Lake Winnipeg are limited by density independent factors like drought, which could lower water levels and temperatures, as well as density dependent factors like predation from northern pike and walleye when populations are high.

PriyaE@learning 1006
Life processes are the series of actions, such as movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition that are essential for a living being to sustain.
The processes, which collectively perform the maintenance of our body system, are known as life processes.
The maintenance processes protect us from damage and break-down; however, to keep these maintenance processes working properly, we need to provide energy to them. Healthy food is the best source of such energy.The processes, which collectively perform the maintenance of our body system, are known as life processes.

Biogeochemical Cycles
The document discusses several key biogeochemical cycles - carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus - and how they function in ecosystems. It also covers energy flow through ecosystems. Some key points:
1. Biogeochemical cycles circulate essential nutrients through biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems. This maintains the supply and circulation of nutrients that ecosystems depend on.
2. Carbon, oxygen and nitrogen cycles are gaseous nutrient cycles, with the atmosphere and oceans as main reservoirs. Sedimentary nutrient cycles include sulfur and phosphorus, with soil, rocks and minerals as primary sources.
3. Energy from the sun drives biogeochemical cycles and flows through ecosystems via photosynthesis, food chains,
Nutrition
Nutrition involves the processes by which living things obtain energy and matter from food. There are two main types of nutrition: autotrophs like plants produce their own food, while heterotrophs obtain food from other organisms. Nutrition requires digestion to break down food, respiration to release energy, circulation to transport nutrients, and excretion to remove waste. Plants carry out similar processes to obtain inorganic nutrients from the soil and produce organic matter through photosynthesis.
Nutrition in plants
Plants are capable of producing their own food through the process of photosynthesis using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant leaves and converts sunlight energy into chemical energy stored as carbohydrates. There are two main types of nutrition - autotrophic nutrition where organisms produce their own food, and heterotrophic nutrition where organisms obtain food directly or indirectly from plants. Some plants lacking chlorophyll are heterotrophic and obtain nutrients through parasitism, trapping insects, decomposing organic matter, or symbiotic relationships.

You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Carbon cycle ppt
- 2. What is carbon cycle? • Nutrient cycle in which CARBON ATOMS are RECYCLED through the ABIOTIC and BIOTIC parts of an environment.
- 3. What is carbon cycle? • Consists of the processes in the BIOTIC environment: PHOTOSYNTHESIS (in AUTHOTROPHS) CERLLULAR RESPIRATION (in HETEROTROPHS & AUTOTROPHS)
- 4. AUTOTROPHS • Organisms having the ability to synthesize their own food. Plants Examples: & Algae
- 5. AUTOTROPHS • Organisms that can make their own food, such us plants which make their food from INORGANIC substances why are autotrophs important? Called producers because they produce chemical energy for an entire ecosytem Convert inorganic substances & light into organic substances containing CHEMICAL ENERGY (i.e. Food)
- 6. HETEROTROPHS • Organisms that do not make their own food • Also known as consumers – they “eat other things” • Ex. Deer, mushrooms (a decomposers), rabbits
- 7. HETEROTROPHS • Various types of consumers: 1. scavengers/ Detrivores feed on dead tissue of organisms (both plants and animals) Ex. Vultures , Crows, and Shirmp
- 8. HETEROTROPHS 2. Herbivores Eat only plants Ex. –Cows, Elephants, Gireffes
- 9. HETEROTROPHS 3. Carnivores Eat ONLY meat ex. Lions , tigers, sharks
- 10. HETEROTROPHS 4. Omnivores eat BOTH plants and animals ex. –bears and humans
- 11. HETEROTROPHS 5. Decomposers absorb any dead material and break down ex. – bacteria and mushrooms
- 12. photosynthesis • Takes place in autotrophs, specially in the leaves of green plants • In photosynthesis, plants trap sunlight (energy from the sun) and use it to create food (sugar called glucose) • Key- plants turn light energy into chemical energy
- 13. Photosynthesis Equation • Photosynthesis is the process in which plants make food (sugar). • Equation: reactants products Carbon Dioxide+water+energy=sugar+oxygen
- 14. Photosynthesis • Plants can’t use light energy directly, instead they must convert it to chemical energy in the process of photosynthesis • This chemical energy is either Used to survive (energy to live) Stored as physical part of the plant (called starch) Heterotrophs consume the plant material for this stored chemical energy
- 15. Cellular Respiration • Cellular Respiration is when food (chemical energy) is broken down to release energy • This is called catabolism or “digestion” • Sugar (food) made by plants in photosynthesis is broken down through Cellular Respiration into an “energy form” which can be used
- 16. Cellular Respiration • Cellular Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of plants and animals cells • In respiration, OXYGEN is combined with SUGAR to produce ENERGY, CARBON DIOXIDE , and WATER
- 17. Cellular Respiration • The chemical equation for respiration, is essentially the opposite of photosynthesis • Chemical Equation: Reactants Products Sugar + Oxygen = Energy + Carbon Dioxide+ Water Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis are COMPLEMENTARY PROCESSES
- 18. Carbon storage • Carbon is continually recycled in living ecosystems, but it can also be destroyed • Ways of storing carbon: 1. Inorganic Carbon Storage (non-living) 2. Organic Carbon Storage (living)
- 19. Inorganic Carbon Storage • Storage of carbon atoms in non-living things occurs in 3 ways: 1. ATMOSPHERE carbon dioxide in the air contains least stored carbon (0.03%)
- 20. Inorganic Carbon Storage 2. OCEANS carbon dioxide dissolved in water used by water plants for photosynthesis 3. SOIL carbon stored in rocks such as limestone most carbon is stored in soil/ rock can be released when rocks are disturbed (volcanoes, acid rain)
- 21. Organic Carbon Storage • Carbon is stored in the bodies of living things • Carbon is stored in living bodies is released when then organisms dies and decomposes. • Carbon is continually being recycled • Carbon stored in a body can be turned into fossil fuels (gas, coal, etc.) • Peat (dead plant material) which get buried can turn into Coal
