What Is Ecology
An ecosystem is the interacting system of a biological community and its non-living physical environment. It includes biotic factors like organisms and biotic factors like air, water, and mineral soil. Ecologists study ecosystems and the interactions between organisms and their environments, including food chains, nutrient cycles, and relationships between species like predator-prey dynamics. Examples of ecosystems discussed include rainforests, which have structural layers and species that depend on each other for survival.
Benefits for homeowners of backyard wildlife habitats
Creating a backyard wildlife habitat provides homeowners with economic, ecological, social, and recreational benefits. It can increase property values by up to 20% and save thousands of dollars annually in energy costs and stormwater treatment. Nearly 90% of homebuyers value environmentally friendly landscaping and open spaces. Properties located near wildlife refuges have been shown to have 3-9% higher property values. Backyard habitats also have ecological benefits like filtering pollutants and producing oxygen. They bring people and nature together for recreation like birdwatching and walking, as well as educational and workplace benefits.

Valuing ecosystem services: a biological perspective
PowerPoint presentation for a guest lecture in ARE 4438, Valuing the Environment (University of Connecticut, 27 April 2009)
The_World_Environmental_Day
The World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th to raise awareness about environmental protection. This year's theme is "Seven billion Dreams, One planet, Consume with Care" which recognizes that with a world population of 7 billion people, resources must be consumed sustainably on our single planet. The document discusses how humanity relies on the Earth's natural resources just as families rely on mothers, so we must care for the environment to ensure future generations can thrive. It argues for balancing economic development, environmental protection, and equitable access to resources through sustainable consumption.
Biotic and abiotic components of ecosystem
This document provides rubrics for assessing students' ability to distinguish between biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem. The objective is for students to identify examples of and characteristics defining biotic and abiotic components, as well as interactions between the two. Students will be evaluated based on how many examples they provide, how thoroughly they explain concepts and interactions, and how deeply they explain how interactions maintain ecosystem balance. Scoring is on a scale of beginner, developing, and exemplary.
Ecosystem based adaptation-can_support_food_security(1)
Ecosystem-based adaptation projects in Africa have potential to help address future food crises under climate change by improving agricultural resilience. Case studies in Mozambique, Uganda, and Togo demonstrated how restoring ecosystems through activities like mangrove rehabilitation, agroforestry, and small dams combined with fish ponds led to increased food production, provision of ecosystem services, and more secure access to resources. The review concludes that ecosystem-based adaptation is a cost-effective approach that could help reduce occurrences of food crises and build resilience to climate change impacts across Africa if widely adopted.
Why Is Biodiversity Important 13062014
Biodiversity is important for both economic and ecological reasons. At least 40% of the world's economy and 80% of the needs of the poor are derived from biological resources. Each species, no matter how small, plays an important role in ecosystem productivity and sustainability. The loss of biodiversity threatens food and medicine sources as well as ecosystem services like water and soil protection. Current extinction rates are approaching 1,000 times higher than the natural background rate due to human activity.
Water and agroforestry chin (nxpowerlite)
The document discusses research conducted by ICRAF on water and agroforestry from 1991-2007. It focuses on several key areas:
1) Studies in Machakos, Kenya showing that integrating trees with crops can improve soil and water conservation compared to crops alone.
2) Research on how tree roots capture water and influence microclimates to benefit crops. Studies looked at different tree species and arrangements.
3) Long-term consequences of different tree resource capture strategies, including deciduous vs evergreen species.
4) Evidence that deforestation of areas like the Mau Forest Complex in Kenya can negatively impact streamflow. More erosive rains are also predicted.

The audience was made up of ACP-EU policy-makers and representatives of the EU Member States, civil society groups, research networks and development practitioners, the private sector and international organisations based in Brussels as well as representatives from ACP regional organisations.Environment
The document defines environment as the place, people, things and nature that surround any living organism and provide its basic life support system. It identifies four main components of the environment - lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. The document also lists several environmental threats such as air and water pollution, climate change, water crisis, and deforestation. It suggests steps individuals can take to help protect the environment, such as using reusable bags, growing one's own food, recycling, and using public transportation.

Vegetarian Presentation
Eating a vegetarian diet benefits the environment and human health according to the document. It argues that a meat-based diet wastes resources, accelerates climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, and destroys the environment. Specifically, it claims that a vegetarian diet uses less land and water resources, produces fewer emissions, and helps prevent deforestation and ocean dead zones caused by pollution. The document also asserts that a vegetarian diet provides adequate nutrition and is linked to lower risks of heart problems and certain cancers compared to a meat-based diet.

Gateway 2 Sample Essay (Irrigation & chemicals)
Irrigation increases food supply by allowing more land to be farmed and double cropping, but can increase water-borne pests and diseases. Chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides also boost yields by improving soil nutrients and controlling pests and weeds, but excessive use damages the environment as runoff pollutes water and harms ecosystems beyond farmed areas. While irrigation and chemicals can increase food, they must be used in moderation to avoid environmental damage.
Ecosystems based water management: From innovation to practice
Ecosystems based water management: From innovation to practice International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
Ecosystem-based water management aims to sustain aquatic ecosystems and the humans that depend on them. It involves determining environmental flows by assessing the water quantity, timing, and quality needs of ecosystems. Managers set ecological targets and monitor indicators of ecosystem health. The UN Sustainable Development Goals aim to protect water-related ecosystems by 2020 through monitoring the extent, water quantity and quality of ecosystems. However, directly measuring ecosystem health and biodiversity is still in development. Implementing ecosystem-based management requires addressing gaps in monitoring habitat, sediments, and locally important variables.Planning for the Ecosystem in South County By Andrea Mackenzie
This document provides an overview of land protection in Santa Clara County. It discusses the challenges of growth and climate change facing natural areas. It describes how taking an integrated watershed approach to planning can help protect clean water, farmland, ranches, wildlife habitat, and parks and trails. Various land protection tools are outlined, including policy, land purchases, conservation easements, and incentives. The Santa Clara County Open Space Authority is introduced as responsible for preserving over 15,000 acres across multiple cities and the county using preserves like Sierra Vista and Rancho Cañada del Oro.
July 29-330-Andrew Kilduff
This document discusses principles of soil health and water quality that can be promoted through agroforestry practices at the watershed level. It summarizes 5 soil health principles: soil armor, minimizing soil disturbance, plant diversity, continual live plant and root presence, and livestock integration. It also summarizes 3 water quality principles: promoting soil health, reducing erosion, and lessening nutrient runoff. The document then provides examples of agroforestry case studies demonstrating how identifying suitable lands for various crops and practices can utilize these principles. It discusses benefits measurable from this watershed planning approach, such as cost-effectiveness, ease of implementation, distributed buy-in, and emergent economic opportunities.

SUMMARY
This PhD thesis examines various biodegradable materials as alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. It studies nanocomposites made from polylactic acid and a PLA-PBAT blend reinforced with nanoclays and silica. The effects on mechanical properties, thermal stability, and degradation behavior are analyzed. A second part studies biocomposites of natural fibers like wood and flax in a biodegradable polymer matrix. The fiber type, adhesion, water absorption, and creep behavior under stress and temperature conditions are evaluated to understand material performance. The aim is to develop fully biodegradable composite materials with enhanced and controllable properties.

The document discusses the importance of biodiversity conservation and integrated action to address threats to biodiversity. It notes that biodiversity drives key ecological functions and provides valuable economic services. However, overconsumption, population growth, habitat loss, and failure to account for ecological trade-offs are reducing biodiversity. The consequences of biodiversity loss disproportionately impact the poor. Integrated scientific, political, and economic action is needed worldwide to mitigate human-caused biodiversity decline.

Mother Earth has its limits; Increasing of human population and pollution
The document discusses the issues with rising human population and increasing pollution. It notes that even if pollution is reduced, total pollution will still increase as population grows. This puts pressure on resources like food, water, and living space. The document warns that disasters from issues like global warming, disease, and food shortages will likely increase in more crowded areas unless action is taken. It recommends supporting smaller families, growing more plants and algae while consuming less meat, and building small wastewater treatment ponds with plants to help reduce pollution. Government policies around financial incentives could help encourage these changes.

Reasons for conserving biodiversity are identified as ethical, aesthetic, economic and ecological.
Adding Wellness to Diet-based Chesapeake Bay Best Management Practices
1) Wellness-based best management practices (BMPs) aim to add "exercise" to traditional diet-based BMPs by promoting healthy soil biology and native plant biodiversity.
2) Examples include using compost extract and avoiding tilling to protect soil biology, as well as naturalizing landscapes instead of using turfgrass.
3) Case studies found that biologically healthy soil can naturally provide all the nitrogen needs of plants, eliminating the ongoing costs of synthetic fertilizers. Native plantings also significantly reduced phosphorus pollution loads.

Aveda CWF 2009 MO
The document discusses threats to clean water such as global warming, pesticides, toxic chemicals, and invasive species. It notes that the Clean Water Act is meant to protect lakes, rivers, and streams for fishing, swimming, boating, and drinking water. However, recent Supreme Court decisions and EPA actions have weakened the Clean Water Act's protections, putting the drinking water of 110 million Americans at risk. The state of Missouri could lose protection for 76% of its streams and 35% of its wetlands under the weakened law.
Biodiversity Basics
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems. It is threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, introduced species, pollution, overexploitation, and climate change. British Columbia has highly diverse ecosystems that provide essential services like clean air and water, but development has seriously impacted its biodiversity. Maintaining ecosystem integrity is key to protecting biodiversity in all its forms over the long run.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
