ECOLOGY:
 the study of the interactions of living things with each
other and their physical environment
ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY
 The study of the movement of energy and
materials, including water, chemicals, nutrients,
and pollutants, into, out of, and within ecosystems.
 The study of the interactions among organisms and
their environment as an integrated systems.
ECOSYSTEM
 An ecosystem is the unit composed of all the
living things (biotic) in a single place at a given
time, in addition to, the important non-living
components (abiotic) of the system.
An ecosystem is self-sustaining if the following
requirements are met:
1. A constant source of energy and a living system
capable of incorporating this energy into organic
molecules.
2. A cycling of materials between organisms and their
environment.
Components of ecosystem
ABIOTIC FACTORS:
 those physical and chemical factors which affect the
ability of organisms to survive and reproduce
SOME ABIOTIC FACTORS:
1. intensity of light
2. range of temperatures
3. amount of moisture
4. type of substratum (soil or rock type)
5. availability of inorganic substances such as minerals
6. supply of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
nitrogen
7. pH
BIOTIC FACTORS:
 all the living things that directly or indirectly affect the
environment
 ** Thus, the organisms, their presence, parts,
interaction, and wastes are all biotic factors.
ENERGY
 The sun is the ultimate energy source for almost
every ecosystem on earth.
 Energy enters ecosystems via photosynthesis
 Organisms that bring energy into an ecosystem are called
producers.
NUTRITIONAL RELATIONSHIPS:
A. Autotrophs: can synthesize their own food from
inorganic compounds and a usable energy source
B. Heterotrophs: can NOT synthesize their own food
and are dependent on other organisms for their food
FOOD WEB INTERACTIONS:
1. Producers: (plants) -- the energy of the community is
derived from the organic compounds in plants
2. Primary Consumer
- feeds on plants (mice, grasshoppers, and rabbits in
the web above)
3. Secondary Consumer: (always a carnivore) -- feeds upon
other consumers (frogs, sparrows, snakes, and foxes
above)
4. Decomposers: break down organic wastes and dead
organisms to simpler substances (ex. bacteria)
** Through decomposition, chemical substances are
returned to the environment where they can be used
by other living organisms.
THANK YOU

Ecology Lec 07 2016

  • 1.
  • 2. ECOLOGY:  the study of the interactions of living things with each other and their physical environment
  • 3. ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY  The study of the movement of energy and materials, including water, chemicals, nutrients, and pollutants, into, out of, and within ecosystems.  The study of the interactions among organisms and their environment as an integrated systems.
  • 4. ECOSYSTEM  An ecosystem is the unit composed of all the living things (biotic) in a single place at a given time, in addition to, the important non-living components (abiotic) of the system.
  • 5. An ecosystem is self-sustaining if the following requirements are met: 1. A constant source of energy and a living system capable of incorporating this energy into organic molecules. 2. A cycling of materials between organisms and their environment.
  • 7. ABIOTIC FACTORS:  those physical and chemical factors which affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce
  • 8. SOME ABIOTIC FACTORS: 1. intensity of light 2. range of temperatures 3. amount of moisture 4. type of substratum (soil or rock type) 5. availability of inorganic substances such as minerals 6. supply of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen 7. pH
  • 9. BIOTIC FACTORS:  all the living things that directly or indirectly affect the environment  ** Thus, the organisms, their presence, parts, interaction, and wastes are all biotic factors.
  • 10. ENERGY  The sun is the ultimate energy source for almost every ecosystem on earth.  Energy enters ecosystems via photosynthesis  Organisms that bring energy into an ecosystem are called producers.
  • 11. NUTRITIONAL RELATIONSHIPS: A. Autotrophs: can synthesize their own food from inorganic compounds and a usable energy source B. Heterotrophs: can NOT synthesize their own food and are dependent on other organisms for their food
  • 12. FOOD WEB INTERACTIONS: 1. Producers: (plants) -- the energy of the community is derived from the organic compounds in plants
  • 13. 2. Primary Consumer - feeds on plants (mice, grasshoppers, and rabbits in the web above)
  • 14. 3. Secondary Consumer: (always a carnivore) -- feeds upon other consumers (frogs, sparrows, snakes, and foxes above)
  • 15. 4. Decomposers: break down organic wastes and dead organisms to simpler substances (ex. bacteria) ** Through decomposition, chemical substances are returned to the environment where they can be used by other living organisms.
