The document provides information about Edexcel Geography Unit 3: Contested Planet. It discusses the six topics covered in the unit, including how they are linked and the suggested order to teach them. It also provides details about the exam structure, including the format and content of sections A and B. Additionally, it defines key terms related to biodiversity such as ecosystems, biomes, genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Finally, it discusses the importance of biodiversity and highlights biodiversity hotspots as areas of very high biodiversity values.
Renewable Resources
Renewable resources are natural resources that can replenish themselves in a finite amount of time through biological or natural processes. They include solar energy, water, and wind. During World War II, Nazi Germany focused research efforts on developing renewable resources for self-sufficiency, as they had lost access to overseas colonies. Some successes included developing hemp, flax, and rapeseed. Scientists also experimented with dandelions as a source for natural rubber production. Many agricultural research institutes from this period still exist today.
L3 k learn spaces 2014 value of ecosystems
This document discusses how to value ecosystems by examining the economic, cultural, and environmental value they provide. It provides examples of ecosystem services - the benefits ecosystems provide to people - which are broken into supporting, regulating, cultural, and provisioning services. These services have a large impact on human well-being. The document then analyzes two case studies: the Daintree Rainforest in Australia and coral reefs. For the Daintree, it highlights the ecosystem services of carbon sequestration, providing medicine, tourism, cultural value for indigenous people, and its history of logging. For coral reefs, it prompts examining their value through videos and a textbook section.
L2 2015 location of bio and hotspots
Biodiversity hotspots are areas with high levels of endemic species that are under threat. They cover only 1.4% of the Earth's land but contain over 40% of plant species and 35% of animal species. Most hotspots are located in the tropics where optimal conditions exist for growth and diversity. While hotspots have helped protect threatened biodiversity, they leave many ecosystems uncovered and do not address threats facing areas outside their criteria.

Climate change is projected to outpace rates of niche change in grasses. The authors analyzed 236 grass species across three time-calibrated phylogenies to estimate past rates of climatic niche change. They compared these rates to projected rates of climate change by 2070 under different climate change scenarios. They found that projected rates of climate change for temperature and precipitation were consistently faster than past rates of niche change in grasses, often by thousands of times. This suggests that without rapid niche changes, many grass species may face extinction due to inability to adapt quickly enough to climate change through niche shifts. As grasses are fundamental to grassland ecosystems and human agriculture, these findings have troubling implications for global biodiversity and food security.
Land,soil,water class- VIII social science
This document provides information about a social studies lesson plan for Class VIII on the topic of geography, land, soil, water, natural vegetation, and wildlife. It includes 4 learning periods that cover different objectives and activities. The objectives focus on understanding land use and distribution of population, causes of landslides and methods of soil conservation, availability and uses of water and methods of water conservation, and natural vegetation, wildlife, and their conservation.
Plants
Plants are living organisms that belong to the kingdom Plantae and include familiar organisms like trees, flowers, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. The scientific study of plants is called botany. Botanists have identified over 315,000 plant species, including 281,821 flowering plants, 12,000 ferns and allies, and 16,236 bryophytes. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight through photosynthesis, which uses chlorophyll in chloroplasts to give plants their green color.
Types of resources
This document discusses different ways of classifying resources. Resources can be classified as natural, man-made, or human. They can also be biotic or abiotic, renewable or non-renewable, owned individually, by a community, nationally, or internationally. Finally, resources can be potential, developed, stocks, or reserves depending on their status and accessibility. The key classifications covered are natural vs man-made vs human resources, biotic vs abiotic, and renewable vs non-renewable.

Geography for beginners
Geography consists of four academic traditions: spatial studies, area studies, human-land interaction, and an earth science perspective. It has a long history dating back to Greek geographers like Herodotus. There are six elements studied in geography: spatial terms, places and regions, physical and human systems, environment/society interactions, and applications. Geography branches into human geography (including cultural, political, urban, economic, and social studies), physical geography (landforms, soils, climate, oceans, etc.), environmental geography, and regional geography. Environmental planning considers sustainable resource use and management to balance human and natural systems.
Everglades Biome
Everglades National Park is located in southern Florida and was established in 1947 to preserve its unique subtropical ecosystem. It contains mangrove swamps, sawgrass plains, and hardwood hammocks that provide habitat for diverse plant and animal species, including alligators, crocodiles, manatees, and the endangered Florida panther. The park protects over 1.5 million acres of land and water, making it an important stopover for migratory birds and a nursery for marine life in Florida Bay.
Class VIII Resource
This document provides an overview of resources and conservation. It defines resources as any substance that can satisfy a need. Resources are classified as natural, human, and human-made. Natural resources come directly from nature, human resources refer to people's education and skills, and human-made resources are natural substances modified by human technology. Conservation is the protection and wise use of resources so they last into the future. It involves reducing consumption, recycling, and sustainable development according to principles like careful resource use and meeting needs of present and future generations.
Anderson et al. SEAC 2014 "Linking Archaeological Data At A Large Scale"
A crucial challenge facing archaeologists is using the vast quantities of data we are generating for research, management, and public education. The DINAA project provides online methods for linking non-sensitive archaeological data from a wide array of sources, to explore questions of human-environmental interaction at multiple geospatial and temporal scales, in the past, present, and future. A multi-institutional collaborative effort, DINAA provides a framework for distributed linked open data initiatives in North American archaeology; promotes greater interaction between data generators, managers, and users; and helps promote a greater appreciation for archaeology among researchers, resource managers, and the general
public.
Resources
This document discusses resources, including:
1) It defines resources as something that provides humans with products or places and has potential to be utilized.
2) It lists three types of resources: natural, man-made, and human. Natural resources come directly from nature while man-made are modified by humans.
3) Natural resources include coal, fossil fuels, energy sources like nuclear, hydropower, and biomass. Man-made resources are made by humans to improve lives.
