MAJOR TYPES OF ECOSYSTEMS
1. TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS
2. AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS
Terrestrial ecosystems
A terrestrial ecosystem is an ecosystem found only on landforms.
Six primary terrestrial ecosystems exist:
tundra,
taiga,
temperate deciduous forest,
tropical rain forest,
grassland; and
desert.
Terrestrial Ecosystems
Ecosystems are distinguished by a combination of biotic and abiotic factors. The slideshow first shows images of each terrestrial ecosystem separated by climate zone, and then finishes with mystery ecosystems for students to identify and describe. Ask your students to identify the abiotic factors such as amount of precipitation, elevation, temperature, etc., and how that affects the life zone of of the ecosystem (biodiversity, height of plant growth, etc.).
Ppt ict ecosystems
This document describes different types of habitats and ecosystems. It discusses forest, desert, and tundra habitats. Forest habitats cover large areas and provide shade and protection for many animals. Deserts cover over one-third of the world's land and are very hot and dry. The tundra habitat is located near the North Pole and about one-fifth of the earth's land is tundra. Tundra has permanently frozen ground that only supports low growing plants. An ecosystem includes a habitat, the living things within it, and their interactions.
Habitats for kids!
The document defines several major habitat types on Earth: oceans cover 71% of the planet's surface; coastal areas have shallow waters near land; rainforests have tall trees, warm climates, and abundant plants and animals; polar regions are the coldest areas in the north and south; deserts are extremely dry with little water and few plants or animals; and grasslands have grass but few trees due to dry or poor soil conditions.
Habitats
An ecosystem is defined as a habitat and all the living things within it. A habitat provides living things with food, water, shelter, and space. Most plants and animals in an ecosystem are specially adapted to the conditions of their particular habitat through adaptations like webbed feet, storage organs, or camouflage, which help them survive.
Biology Unit 4 notes
The document summarizes different ecosystems and climate zones. It discusses the three main climate zones: polar, tropical, and temperate. It also describes different ecosystem interactions like predator-prey and mutualism. Succession and different biomes like forests, grasslands, and aquatic ecosystems are outlined. Key details include the greenhouse effect, niches, competition exclusion, symbiotic relationships, primary and secondary succession, and characteristics of biomes like tropical rainforests, deserts, and estuaries.
Adaptations of differnet animals in differnt habitats
This document discusses animal adaptations to different habitats. It provides examples of how camels, cacti, polar bears, and fish have adapted to survive in deserts and Arctic environments. Camels have adaptations like thick fur, the ability to go long periods without water, and slit-like nostrils to survive in hot, dry deserts. Cacti store water in their stems and have widespread root systems and spines instead of leaves to minimize water loss. Polar bears have white fur for camouflage, thick layers of fat and fur for insulation, and large feet to distribute their weight on ice. The document also notes fish have gills to breathe underwater and streamlined bodies to reduce resistance while swimming. Adaptations help
Habitats
A habitat is the natural environment where an organism lives. The document describes several common habitats including deserts, rainforests, tundras, prairies, grasslands, forests, marine environments, and zoos.

Loehr et al. 2015
1) Female speckled tortoises (Homopus signatus) in South Africa were observed over 29 days in early spring to understand how they cope with low environmental temperatures during their active feeding season.
2) The tortoises showed a unimodal daily activity pattern, but individual tortoises were only active for about 4.5 hours per day on average. They spent up to 73% of their active time basking, mostly under shrubs.
3) On colder days, the tortoises spent a higher percentage of their active time basking, indicating they use basking more to absorb heat when temperatures are low. Their feeding time was very low at only 24 minutes per day, likely
Abiotic factors
The document discusses abiotic environmental factors like temperature and light and how they impact living organisms. It describes how temperature and light levels vary across different environments like freshwater, marine, and terrestrial, and how organisms have adapted to fluctuations, such as through dormancy, migration, or tolerance ranges. The effects of these factors are examined at levels from cells to behaviors to distributions of species.

The document is a quiz about different ecosystems. It provides descriptions of location, climate, and sometimes landscape or animals for different ecosystems, including Arctic, desert, grassland savanna, rainforest, temperate, and ocean. It then asks multiple choice and true/false questions about the characteristics of and relationships between different ecosystems. The document relates to geography and living environment science standards about classifying organisms, ecosystems, and the relationships between physical and human systems.
Ch 13 organism and population || Class 12 ||
Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment. The key levels of organization in ecology are organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and the biosphere. Populations grow according to exponential or logistic growth models depending on whether resources are unlimited or limited. Species interact through predation, competition, parasitism, commensalism, ammensalism, and mutualism. Abiotic factors like temperature, water, light, and soil influence organisms and drive adaptations.
Year 7 geography_revision
The document contains questions and answers about geography topics including the four spheres of the earth's environment, natural disasters, grid referencing, time zones, climate, and species preservation. Specifically, it defines key terms like the prime meridian and international date line, lists examples within each category, and provides brief explanations of geographic concepts like how time zones are determined in relation to longitude.
Climate
The document describes the local climate conditions and asks a series of questions about temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and factors that affect climate where the reader lives. It asks when the lowest and highest temperatures occur, how often it rains versus snows, and the heaviest snowfall remembered. It also asks the reader to define predation and competition based on their own experiences and give examples of each.
Adaptations of Plants and Animals to extreme temperatures
The document summarizes adaptations that plants and animals have developed to survive in extreme temperatures. It discusses several types of adaptations including thermal migration, diurnal migration, production of spores/cysts, water removal, hibernation, aestivation, and homeothermy. It provides examples of how different organisms such as birds, mammals, insects, and plants adapt to both hot desert climates and cold Arctic conditions through behaviors and physical characteristics that allow them to regulate their body temperatures.
The Biosphere Extended
The document discusses various methods used to study ecosystems, including quadrats, light and moisture meters, and pitfall traps. It provides examples of results from using these methods, such as counts of different plant species within quadrats. Energy flows through ecosystems from producers to consumers in a non-linear way, with about 10% of energy being transferred between trophic levels as most is lost through heat and waste. Food chains and webs show the transfer of energy and matter between organisms in an ecosystem.
Melissa southern weather and seasonal changes
The weather and seasonal changes affect plants, animals, and their surroundings through various adaptations. Adaptations like whiskers, sharp teeth, webbed feet, and wings help animals survive in their environments. Seasonal behaviors like migration, hibernation, and dormancy allow animals to respond to changes in temperature, light levels, and precipitation. Camouflage also provides protection by allowing animals to blend into their surroundings.

Investigation into the existence of Thermal Sensory Capabilities of Dung Beetles
The document summarizes an ecology project studying whether dung beetles prefer warm dung over cold dung. The study placed paired traps with heated and unheated dung in a forest on Pulau Ubin to test the hypothesis. However, a t-test of the results found no significant difference in the number of beetles between the treatments and controls. Therefore, the null hypothesis that dung beetles have no preference could not be rejected. While infrared receptors may exist in dung beetles, this small-scale study was unable to confirm their presence.
"How do ecosystems compare?"
1. Ecosystems differ based on climate patterns over long periods of time. Climate can be wet, dry, hot and wet, or cold.
2. Three ecosystems are described: deserts, forests, and oceans. Deserts are dry due to low rainfall and organisms adapt through behaviors like camel humps storing water. Forests include tropical rainforests, which are hot and wet year-round, and temperate forests, which are warmer in summer and colder in winter. Oceans have more life in shallow, sunlit areas than in deep, dark waters below 1500m.
3. Tropical rainforests have many tall trees and plants due to constant rainfall, while temperate forests vary

Global temperatures are rising and causing widespread changes in plant and animal species around the world. Over 1500 species have shifted their ranges northward or uphill or changed their behavior in response to 20th century climate change. If warming continues, many species may face extinction due to inability to adapt fast enough. Examples are provided of species already facing extinction due to impacts of climate change like mismatches in timing between species, inability to survive new temperature extremes, and ecosystem collapse from extreme heat events.

Over 1500 species have shifted their ranges northward or uphill or changed their behavior in response to 20th century climate change. If warming continues as expected, it may cause extinctions as species are unable to shift their ranges fast enough. Examples are provided of species like butterflies, birds and penguins that have moved their ranges, as well as animals like pikas that are vulnerable to even small amounts of additional warming. Whole ecosystems like coral reefs have also been damaged by extreme temperature events caused by climate change.
3.1 Organisms And Their Physical Environment
1. The document discusses abiotic factors like temperature, precipitation, sunlight, and their daily, seasonal and yearly variation in Kamloops, BC. It notes the temperature range an organism must tolerate to survive there.
2. Mountain pine beetles have increased in BC forests due to milder winters. Their populations are classified as severely infested around Kamloops.
3. A habitat is defined by abiotic characteristics which determine the community of species living there. Burrowing owls inhabit the dry interior of BC including Kamloops.
Global warming and wild life
Global temperatures are rising and causing widespread changes in plant and animal species distributions and behaviors. Over 1500 species have shifted ranges northward or uphill or changed seasonal behaviors in response to 20th century climate change. If warming continues, many more species will face extinction due to inability to adapt. Coral reefs and Arctic ecosystems may already be collapsing due to extreme temperature-related stress. Most biological changes correlate as predicted with long term climate trends, providing strong evidence that climate change poses a serious threat to global biodiversity.
53; calotes thermoregulation m.s.
This document summarizes a study on the thermoregulatory behavior of the lizard Calotes versicolor at two different altitudes in Sri Lanka. Operative temperatures and lizard body temperatures were measured at a low altitude of 91 meters and high altitude of over 900 meters. The study found that lizards at the high altitude had to increase basking behavior to raise their body temperature due to cooler temperatures, while lizards at the low altitude engaged in more shade seeking to avoid high temperatures. Precision of body temperatures was not significantly different between the two populations. The document also presents preliminary models of how altitude generally influences body temperatures in Calotes lizards and other reptiles in the region.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
