Animals and plants in esturine system
This document provides information about the various plants and animals commonly found in estuarine wetlands. It describes several types of plants that thrive in the estuarine environment, such as cordgrass, mangroves, glasswort, and salt-tolerant grasses. It also discusses animals that live or feed in estuaries, including muskrats, worms, shellfish, crabs, fish, birds, and whitebait that spawn in upper estuaries. The estuary provides an important habitat for a diverse ecosystem.
Estuaries: Communities
This document describes different estuarine communities, including open water, mudflats, salt marshes, mangrove forests, and other communities like seagrass beds and oyster reefs. It discusses the characteristic species found in each community and their roles, like cordgrass and fiddler crabs in salt marshes or red, black, and white mangroves in mangrove forests. However, many estuarine communities are being destroyed by human activities like reclamation, dredging, shrimp farming, and coastal development.
Wetlands by Alex M
Wetlands are areas covered by shallow water that provide many important functions. They supply freshwater, prevent floods, support many animal and plant species as homes, and clean water. There are three major types of wetlands: bogs, which receive water from precipitation; swamps, which receive water from floods or streams and have rich soil; and marshes, which receive water from the ground and provide nutrients for plant growth. Wetlands are important habitats for animals like American crocodiles, manatees, and frogs.
Miss Campolongo's Period 5 :Marsh
Marshes are located near bodies of water and provide many benefits. They are distinguished by grasses, reeds, and sedges rather than large trees. Marshes help control floods, purify water, and are home to many species of amphibians, birds, and mammals. Common plant life includes sedges, sphagnum moss, grasses, and cattails. Soil is dredged from shipping channels and spread over marsh areas to help rebuild them.
Miss Campolongo's Period 5:Coastal Wetlands
Coastal wetlands provide breeding grounds for various water birds, fish, and other wildlife and act as natural filters. They are located along coastlines and in states like Louisiana and California, harboring plant life like grasses and trees as well as animals including eagles, fish, and birds. Efforts are underway to preserve coastal wetlands by establishing them as national parks or reserves.
Miss Campolongo's Period 6: Inland Wetland
Inland wetlands include bogs, marshes, swamps and fens and provide unique habitats for plants and animals. They can be found throughout the US in states like Connecticut, Texas, California, Arizona and Colorado. Wetlands are important because they provide habitat for birds, amphibians, reptiles and other wildlife, help filter runoff, and were home to early life on Earth. Efforts to save wetlands include supporting local protection, reducing fertilizer use, and creating new wetlands.
Gina beach ecosystem
Biotic life like fish are important to the ocean ecosystem as they work with abiotic factors. Humans must not harm ocean animals or pollute the ocean with garbage, as fish and other animals could be killed by eating trash. The writer shares some personal details and hopes the reader finds the ecosystem description interesting despite the lack of pictures.
Kory's Project: Marshes
A marsh is a flooded grassland found near bodies of water like ponds or lakes. There are two main types - saltwater marshes near the ocean and freshwater marshes along ponds and rivers. Marshes are important habitats that support many plant and animal species. However, marshes are threatened by pollution and development. Proposed solutions include clean-up programs where volunteers remove trash from marshes to help restore these important ecosystems.

Aquaculture
This document provides an overview of aquatic ecosystems and considerations for designing and maintaining ponds and other small bodies of water. It discusses key factors that determine the plant and animal life in aquatic environments, including nutrient content, depth, light penetration, and acidity. Optimal conditions for biodiversity are described as having good nutrient levels to support primary producers, balanced phytoplankton levels, sufficient depth for underwater plant growth, and moderate pH. Specific designs are presented, like chinampas and aquaponics, and uses for common aquatic plants and animals are outlined. The document aims to educate on creating sustainable aquatic habitats.
TROPHIC RELATIONSHIP IN WETLAND ECOSYSTEM
- Wetland ecosystems contain different trophic levels including producers, primary consumers, and predators. Nutrients flow between these levels through various food chains.
- Nutrient production occurs as phytoplankton and other producers photosynthesize and remove nutrients from the water. Nutrients are then transported through the food web as organisms at higher trophic levels consume those at lower levels.
- Wetlands play an important role in removing nutrients, metals, pathogens and other pollutants from water through physical, chemical and biological processes before the water is transported elsewhere. They can remove 70-90% of nitrogen and 20-100% of various metals, helping to maintain downstream water quality.
Coast Seagrass
Seagrasses provide shelter and nutrients that are essential for many marine species. Young tiger prawns and small fish rely on seagrass beds for shelter as they grow. Seagrasses also stabilize sediment and cycle nutrients by decomposing leaf fragments that provide food for other organisms like crabs and worms. However, human activities like pollution, dredging, and boat damage can negatively impact seagrass beds and the species that depend on them.
Streambanks and riparian areas
Riparian areas are located between streams or rivers and dry upland areas. They help maintain water quality by trapping sediment, reducing erosion, storing nutrients, and filtering contaminants. Livestock seeking water and shade in riparian areas can lead to overgrazing, trampling, soil erosion, and declining water quality, reducing habitats for plants and fish. Some farmers are paid to protect riparian areas by keeping livestock out in order to maintain the key ecological functions of these areas.
Trophic relationships in wetland ecosystem
The document discusses trophic relationships in various wetland ecosystems. It describes the producers and consumers in salt marshes, mangroves, freshwater marshes, peatlands, and southern deepwater swamps. Salt marsh producers include grasses and plants tolerant of salt. Consumers include insects, spiders, crabs, fish, birds, and mammals. Mangroves have high biomass due to tidal nutrients and support many filter feeders and detritivores as well as juvenile commercially important species. Freshwater marshes see reeds and grasses as producers and flies and birds as consumers. Peatlands are low productivity wetlands dominated by sphagnum moss and supporting carnivorous plants and migr
Georgia's Piedmont Region
The document discusses Georgia's Piedmont region. It is known as the foothills region and has red clay soils. It is the most populated region in Georgia and contains the state capital of Atlanta. Animals like deer, raccoons, and squirrels live in the forests, but more are displaced as forests are cut down. Birds of prey like bald eagles and screech owls can be found in the region. The habitat includes forests of oak, hickory, and pine trees that provide shelter, food and nuts. Evergreen trees provide shelter and food in winter.
Georgia Habitat ABC Book
The document describes various animals and where they can be found within Georgia's habitats. It includes 26 animals ranging from the anhinga found in freshwater ponds to zebra swallowtails found in woodlands.

Others prefer inland freshwater habitats like marshes, streams, and forests for places like marsh rabbits, salamanders, and woodpeckers. The document provides a brief overview of the types of habitats within Georgia and which local wildlife can be found in each place.
Georgia habitats Swamps Marsh
Swamps and marshes are located in the Coastal Plain region of Georgia, with the largest being the Okefenokee Swamp. Swamps have a hot, wet, and humid climate with dark, soft soil that is covered in water. Animals that live in swamps, like alligators, snakes, birds, turtles and frogs, have adaptations like webbed feet and the ability to live on both land and water. Plants in swamps, such as cypress trees, pitcher plants and cattails, have adaptations like roots that can grow above or below water and stems and leaves that can withstand wet conditions and temperature variations.
coastal wetland and its thereats
Wetlands provide important ecosystem services but face many threats. On-site threats include draining wetlands for agriculture, dumping waste, and pollution from nearby activities. Off-site threats involve upstream deforestation, dams altering water flows, and pollution from distant sources. A key threat is conversion to aquaculture through draining or filling wetlands. Wetlands are drained and filled to make way for shrimp or fish farms, eliminating natural habitat.
Miss Campolongo's Period 6: Coastal Wetlands
Coastal wetlands are located along coastlines and watersheds that drain into oceans, estuaries, or bays, making up 4% of coastal watershed areas globally. Coastal wetlands can be found in states like Louisiana, California, Rhode Island, and Maryland, and are home to salt marsh plants as well as a variety of marine organisms, waterfowl, shorebirds, fish, and small mammals. Coastal wetlands are important ecosystems as they provide habitat, protect coastlines from storms, and support fishing and shellfish industries that many coastal communities rely on. Efforts to restore and protect coastal wetlands are undertaken by organizations like NOAA and involve community-based projects and preventing pollution.
Seawater forests
Seawater forests use rivers of seawater to grow aquatic crops like shrimp, fish, and shellfish. They also grow salt-tolerant crops like mangroves and salicornia, which produce lumber, food, and vegetable oil. Livestock graze on the nutrient-rich crops irrigated by seawater. The farms help monitor carbon sequestration, sea levels, freshwater availability, and biodiversity while producing feed and biofuels.
Jayden deep sea ecosystem
The document discusses the abiotic and biotic factors of the deep sea ecosystem. It describes how abiotic elements like rocks, sand, and thermal vents provide the non-living foundation for the ecosystem. Biotic interactions like food chains are also covered, noting that if one species like zooplankton is removed from the food chain it can disrupt the ecosystem and cause other species that depend on it like fish and anchovies to decline or die off as well. Potential dangers to the deep sea ecosystem like plastic pollution are also briefly mentioned.

This document provides an overview of ecosystems and their components. An ecosystem consists of all the living and nonliving things in an environment, and includes biotic factors like plants and animals as well as abiotic factors such as sunlight, air, water and soil. Within an ecosystem, organisms depend on each other and food webs show how energy transfers between producers, consumers and decomposers. Humans can negatively impact ecosystems through activities like pollution, deforestation and overuse of resources, but small changes can help reduce human impacts.
Formation Of Soil And Soil Types
Soil is a mixture of weathered rock and decayed organic matter that forms over long periods of time. Soil formation involves the weathering of bedrock, growth of mosses and vegetation, and decay of organisms which adds humus and nutrients to the soil layers. Soil is made up of distinct layers called horizons, with the topsoil near the surface containing the most plant roots and organic material. The type of soil that forms depends on various environmental factors like climate, vegetation, parent material, topography, and time.

PDC+++ Module 3 Class 1 The Soil
We could say that the destructo-culture, based on industrialized agriculture, carries a basic dysfunction, which is to see the soil as an inanimate thing, a resource to be exploited, & even something that can be seen as 'property' of human beings.
This paradigm has to change because it is at the base of great injustices & of the destruction of the most important base for life on Earth.
In this class we meet the soil as a living being, an organism of enormous complexity & importance, studying how it works in detail, from the microscopic to the global level.
To know soil intimately is fundamental for any sustainable design & to have a direct & vital relationship with this great organism helps us re-connect, physically as well as emotionally, with the Planet.

Ashbin's Ecosystem Power Point
An ecosystem is defined as all the living and nonliving things that interact in an area. The document outlines key components of an ecosystem, including biotic factors like deer and birds, abiotic factors such as sunlight and water, populations made up of similar organisms, and communities comprising multiple interacting populations within a habitat. Ecology is described as the study of relationships between organisms and their environment.
ECOSYSTEM HABITAT NICHE , FOOD CHAIN & WEB
This document discusses ecosystems and the interactions between organisms and their environment. It defines an ecosystem as a place where animals, plants, and non-living materials exist together. It describes abiotic factors as non-living components like temperature and biotic factors as living components that interact, like plants and animals. Food chains and webs are discussed as the transfer of energy between organisms, with producers, consumers, and decomposers comprising different trophic levels. The document also addresses how ecosystems change over time due to natural events, animals, and human activities and the effects this can have like species accommodation, migration, or possible extinction.
Types of organisms
There are three main types of organisms: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers like plants can produce their own food through photosynthesis. Consumers like animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms. Decomposers such as bacteria and fungi break down dead organic matter and cycle nutrients in the environment. Together these three groups participate in complex food webs that sustain life.
Advance Presentation On Forest Our Life Line
Forests are vital to life on Earth. They produce oxygen, regulate climate, provide habitat for plants and animals, and offer resources like food, medicine, and building materials. Forests help prevent soil erosion, floods, and drought by absorbing water and holding soil in place. However, deforestation threatens forests by clearing land for agriculture, grazing, fuel, and construction. To protect forests, efforts are needed to raise awareness, plant trees, buy sustainable products, and reduce consumption.
bioticandabioticfactors.ppt
This document defines and distinguishes between biotic and abiotic factors in an environment. Biotic factors are living things such as plants, animals, and other organisms. Abiotic factors are nonliving things such as water, soil, sunlight, temperature. The document provides examples of biotic factors like trees, birds, grass, and abiotic factors like buildings, light poles, cars. It explains that while abiotic factors are nonliving, they can still affect biotic factors and influence whether living things can survive.

Seed Germination Notes
This document discusses the factors that influence seed germination: water, oxygen, temperature, light, and dormancy. It explains that seeds need water and oxygen to undergo respiration which provides energy for the germination process to start. Most seeds require temperatures between 68-85°F for germination. The amount of light needed can vary depending on how deep the seeds are planted - too deep limits light and oxygen, too shallow risks too much light. Dormancy is when seeds are alive but not growing, and proper conditions are needed to break dormancy for the seeds to be capable of germinating.
Seed Germination Lab Data For Writeup
This document outlines an experiment to test seed germination rates. It provides materials needed which include a Dixie cup, seeds of a specific type, soil, water, and a marker.

Environmental Science Introduction For Student Notes
This document defines key concepts in ecology and ecosystems, including biotic and abiotic factors and food relationships. It explains that an ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things within an environment, and comprises biotic factors like plants and animals as well as abiotic factors such as water, soil and sunlight. Food chains show the order in which organisms obtain energy from food, with producers, consumers and decomposers playing different roles. Food webs depict the complex interconnections between multiple overlapping food chains within an ecosystem.
Introduction To Soil For Student Notes
Soil is the material that nourishes plants and supports all living things, forming the foundation for structures, roads, and recreation areas. It performs several vital functions including sustaining plant and animal life, regulating water flow, filtering and buffering materials, storing and cycling nutrients, and providing support. Soil is a mixture of mineral matter, organic matter, water, and air, with mineral matter making up 45% and consisting of sand, silt, and clay.

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
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
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.
