Upper Tampa Bay Park is a Hillsborough County park that provides protection for nature study and valuable coastal habitats. The document describes a visit to the park, including touring the nature center and exhibits on snakes, fish, mangroves, turtles, and manatees. It also discusses the purpose of the park in protecting mangrove forests, salt marshes, and other ecological communities, and defines an estuary as an area where freshwater and saltwater mix, including sea grass, oyster beds, mangroves, and river deltas.
Human pollution, especially plastic waste, is endangering many animal species. The 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' has accumulated plastic trapped in ocean currents in an area twice the size of France. Plastic is affecting species by being ingested and accumulating in stomachs. Green sea turtles have plastic interfering with nesting and threatening their endangered status. Scientists measure impacts on populations and plastic quantities to study problems and encourage solutions.
The producers in this ecosystem are the phytoplankton, hornwort, papyrus reeds and the algae which manufacture their food using the energy from the sun, however, the plants are growing in an area with plastic waste. This waste will be absorbed and will accumulate within the plant. The planktons, hornwort and papyrus reeds acts as food to the primary.
This document provides information about rainforests and discusses the threats facing the Amazon Rainforest. It begins with definitions of a rainforest and descriptions of its layers. It notes that rainforests contain over 50% of the world's plant and animal species while taking up less than 7% of the Earth's land. The document then discusses reasons for deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest and states that over the past few decades trees have been cut down for various reasons, putting this important environment in danger.
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.
- The study examined differences in crayfish abundance and diet between two habitats in Main Pond at Greenwing Laboratory: a shallow, open North habitat and a deeper, more vegetated West habitat.
- Crayfish abundance was higher in the North habitat and at intermediate distances (10m) from shore, but diet did not differ between habitats.
- While vegetative cover and other factors like depth and temperature affected crayfish distribution, diet was similar possibly because the same food sources were available throughout the pond.
Puerto Rico has incredible biodiversity despite its small size, as reflected in El Bosque Seco de Guánica and El Bosque Nacional del Caribe, el Yunque forests. Though only 200km apart, the distinct ecosystems of the dry forest and pluvial forest give visitors a sense of traveling between countries. Both forests impress with their diverse flora and fauna that have uniquely adapted to survive in their environments, making them ideal places to study evolution, natural selection, and adaptability. The author was inspired to love and appreciate Puerto Rico more after visiting these two gifts of nature and desires to study them further, as one can only love what is known.
I decided to highlight a few different environmental issues that Hawaii is currently facing. Is it the thriving natural paradise that it is generally known for?
- 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.

This document describes an activity to model and understand cultural eutrophication in an ecosystem. Students will use a colorimeter to measure how quickly Daphnia eat Chlorella algae over 30 minutes. This helps show how zooplankton can reduce algal blooms caused by excess nutrients. The activity also involves using an Excel model of the Silver Springs ecosystem to investigate how eutrophication and increasing the duck population affects the ecosystem.
The marine ecosystem provides many resources that humans rely on for food, medicine, and construction materials. However, pollution from industrial and household chemicals and waste like plastic are threatening the health of the marine ecosystem. Chemical pollution can alter the normal functions of organisms and reduce their ability to reproduce. Plastic waste in particular kills many marine animals if ingested. To restore the marine ecosystem, humans must limit overusing resources and work to keep the balance between living and nonliving things in the ocean. Simple individual actions like using natural cleaners, reusable bags, and biodegradable plastics can help protect the marine environment.
There are three main environmental issues affecting Hawaii: 1) microplastics and improper waste management have led to plastic pollution in oceans and beaches, harming wildlife; 2) invasive species have driven the Hawaiian land snail and 'alala bird almost to extinction; 3) inadequate waste treatment causes water pollution from sewage and factory runoff, endangering coral reefs and humans.

The document discusses four main environmental issues facing Hawaii: invasive species, wastewater disposal, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and renewable energy. It notes that invasive fish, plants, and animals have negatively impacted marine life and native species on Maui. It also explains that millions of gallons of wastewater are disposed into injection wells in Lahaina daily, eventually ending up in the ocean and harming coral reefs and marine life. The document raises concerns about GMOs and their potential health effects. It outlines Hawaii's goal to obtain 70% of its energy from renewable sources like solar, wind, and geothermal by 2030 but notes challenges for individual islands to develop suitable energy systems.
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
Wetlands are low-lying areas partially or fully covered in water and serve important purposes. There are three main types: swamps, with trees and acidic water up to 10 feet deep providing flood protection and habitat; marshes, always filled with shallow water and plants like cattails and reeds being highly productive; and bogs receiving water from precipitation in acidic conditions without many nutrients for plants except moss.
The document discusses vernal pools and their importance as amphibian breeding habitat in Ohio. It notes that vernal pools are seasonal forest depressions that provide important habitat for many sensitive amphibian species. While some vernal pools can be found in urban areas, they often have limitations for amphibian communities due to surrounding development and other factors. The conservation of remaining vernal pool habitat in Ohio is critical as this habitat type is disappearing rapidly.
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.
You and Your Students Are the Scientists: A Sampling of Citizen-Science Oppor...Teaching the Hudson Valley
Citizen science involves non-scientific volunteers partnering with scientists to answer real-world questions through data collection and research. Success depends on having simple protocols, trained volunteers, and providing feedback and sharing results. Examples of citizen science programs discussed are Bird Sleuth, Watershed Dynamics, and World-Wide Monitoring Day. A summary of a study on amphibian road mortality described the collection of over 1,000 live and 500 dead amphibians by volunteers to identify important habitats and inform future planning. The presentation encourages different models of citizen science involvement through schools, nature centers, and community groups.
Freshwater ecosystems support a variety of plant and animal life. Common freshwater plants include algae, water lilies, and duckweed which grow on or near the water's surface. These plants provide food and shelter for animals while also improving water quality through photosynthesis and filtration. Common freshwater animals are small, like water fleas and amphibians, and feed on plants or each other. Saltwater ecosystems include oceans, estuaries, mangroves, and coral reefs. Estuaries support eelgrass plants which provide food and habitat. Ocean plants include phytoplankton and coral. Ocean animals are divided into zooplankton, nekton, and benthos depending on their

This document summarizes a workshop on monitoring vernal pools held at Wildwood Preserve MetroPark on March 14, 2009. The workshop included presentations on identifying and monitoring invertebrates in vernal pools, protecting Blanding's turtles and other species that use vernal pools, and information on OEC's vernal pool program. The workshop concluded with a field trip to observe vernal pools.
The Everglades ecosystem in Florida has been significantly damaged since the early 1900s through drainage projects, pollution, and introduction of non-native species. Canals and dams were built to drain the Everglades for agriculture and development, interrupting the natural water flow and causing drought, fires, and saltwater intrusion. Nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff supports invasive plants and algae. Non-native animal species like pythons and frogs have been released and now threaten native species. Restoring proper water flows and holding polluters accountable is needed to save the fragile Everglades environment.
Coral reefs are underwater structures found in tropical oceans near the equator. They are formed from the growth and deposits of coral and are home to over 1,500 species of fish, including clownfish, snapper, and emperor fish. The largest coral reef is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, which stretches over 1,500 miles and houses thousands of diverse fish and plant species in its complex ecosystem and food web.
The document discusses deserts and desertification. It notes that dry lands cover 40% of the Earth's surface and over 110 countries are at risk from increasing desertification. The document also discusses plants and animals that have adapted to survive in desert conditions, such as camels that can go long periods without water. It mentions that some desert animals are endangered, and refugees in Kenya's northeastern desert are living in makeshift shelters.

An ecosystem is a community of living things that interact with each other and their physical environment. It can include plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other organisms as well as non-living elements like weather and landscape. Ecosystems provide environments for organisms to live and they maintain balance through complex interconnections between living and nonliving components. Examples of ecosystems discussed include deserts, tundra, rainforests, oceans, savannas and swamps.
This document provides an overview of various aquatic ecosystems. It begins by defining key terms like environment, ecology, ecosystem, and biotic and abiotic components. It then describes different types of freshwater ecosystems like ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands. Next it covers marine ecosystems like estuaries, mangrove swamps, salt marshes, rocky shores, and oceans. Within oceans it distinguishes zones like intertidal, pelagic, abyssal, and benthic and the organisms found in each. The document concludes by outlining ecosystem goods and services provided by aquatic environments.
1) Estuaries are areas where rivers meet the sea, resulting in brackish water.
2) Estuaries are important habitats that support many organisms for breeding and spawning, including birds, fish, amphibians, insects, algae, and crustaceans.
3) Many people earn livelihoods from activities near estuaries like fishing, aquaculture, and ecotourism.
Marine ecosystems are influenced by abiotic and biotic factors. Coral reefs are the most biodiverse marine ecosystem due to the symbiotic relationship between corals and zooxanthellae. Despite nutrient-poor waters, this relationship provides nutrients and shelter, allowing the reef to support many other organisms. However, coral reefs are threatened by bleaching events, disease, and human impacts like coastal development and activities that disturb corals. Estuaries are partially enclosed bodies of water with both salt and freshwater influences. Salt marshes within estuaries provide important habitat and protect coasts from erosion.
This document discusses different types of interactions that can occur within ecosystems, including competition, predation, and symbiosis. It provides examples of gray and harbor seals competing for the same food source of sand lances near Sable Island, and remoras benefiting from their relationship with sharks. The document also covers topics like invasive species, pollutants, toxins in the food chain, and methods for testing water quality in ponds.
This document discusses interactions between living and non-living things in estuaries and intertidal zones. It begins by introducing some of the plant and animal communities found in these ecosystems, noting that their waters are brackish and many species have adapted to these conditions. It then discusses the different zones of the intertidal area and examples of organisms found in each. The document also covers interactions between living things like predator-prey relationships and reasons we must protect and conserve estuaries and intertidal zones, such as their importance for wildlife habitat and resources for humans.
This document provides an overview of several key marine ecosystems:
- Coral reefs are the most biodiverse marine ecosystem due to symbiotic relationships between corals and zooxanthellae algae. However, they are threatened by factors like coral bleaching, disease, and human impacts.
- Salt marshes are important estuarine ecosystems located between land and salt/brackish water. They support food webs and provide habitat for many species.
- Mangroves are found in subtropical regions and have distinctive root systems that provide shelter and habitat. They play an important ecological role by exporting nutrients.
- Deep sea ecosystems rely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. Organisms in these ecosystems must
Meeting presentation. 2011. Ecological Services of WeedsJohn Vickery
This document discusses the ecological services provided by weeds and non-native plants. It notes that while weeds are typically managed to reduce their negative impacts, they can also provide important benefits by providing food, shelter, nesting sites, and perching areas for native wildlife. The document explores various examples of wildlife utilizing weeds and recommends management modifications like altering the timing, intensity, proportion or scale of weed control activities to maintain these ecological services while still meeting management goals. The goal is to recognize and preserve the wildlife value weeds can provide through a "dual goals" approach to management.
The document discusses five primary ecosystems: terrestrial ecosystems such as the Arctic, Antarctic, deserts, Mediterranean forests, and jungles, as well as aquatic ecosystems including marine ecosystems like oceans and seas, and freshwater ecosystems like rivers, lakes and ponds. It asks questions about the animals, temperature, and ecosystems of the Arctic, desert, beach, and which ecosystem is being discussed. It also describes activities to characterize ecosystem deserts, oceans, and Mediterranean forests, and relationships between different species in an ecosystem including plant nutrition, reproduction, and food relationships.
This document provides an overview of ocean ecology, coral reefs, and sea mammals. It discusses several key points:
- Ocean principles including that the ocean covers most of the planet, regulates climate and oxygen levels, and contains diverse ecosystems.
- Coral reefs are fragile underwater ecosystems that are home to vast biodiversity, though they cover less than 1% of ocean area. Reefs are formed over long periods by corals and other organisms.
- Human activities like pollution, development, and climate change threaten coral reefs by increasing ocean temperatures and acidity, which can cause coral bleaching and impact ecosystem health. Protecting these ecosystems requires international cooperation.
This document discusses the key components of streams and rivers, including stream banks, main channels, floodplains, and riparian buffers. It describes pools and riffles as two types of ecosystems in rivers and streams, noting that riffles usually have more organisms living in them due to higher oxygen levels. The document defines macroinvertebrates as small organisms without backbones that can be seen without a microscope, and explains how they are used to measure the health of streams.
The document discusses how phosphates can affect the growth of aquatic plants. Phosphates are common pollutants that enter lakes and rivers. Too much phosphate can lead to excess algae growth and harm the balanced lake environment. The author proposes an experiment to study how different concentrations of phosphates impact the growth of aquatic plants over time. The results could help better understand the effects of phosphate pollution on important hydrophytes and the overall lake ecosystem.
This document discusses aquatic biodiversity and different marine and freshwater ecosystems. It describes the key producers, consumers, and larger organisms in aquatic environments. Some of the ecosystems highlighted include estuaries, mangrove forests, coral reefs, lakes, rivers, and wetlands. The document also notes threats to certain ecosystems like coral reefs and overfished areas.
The document discusses how the Okanagan region has higher bird species richness than Vancouver due to it being more rural with less urbanization, which provides more habitat for birds. Graphs shown in the document indicate that Vancouver has little area available for birds to inhabit since it is highly developed, whereas the more rural Okanagan is able to support a greater diversity of bird species. The Okanagan also has a higher evenness in its rank abundance curve and higher overall species richness compared to Vancouver.
An ecosystem is a large system with many different interacting parts, including living and nonliving elements. Ecologists study the interactions between living things and their environment within ecosystems. The living parts of an ecosystem are called biotic factors and include organisms that interact, while the nonliving parts are called abiotic factors such as temperature, soil, sunlight and water. Ecosystems can be found in forests, grasslands, marine environments like coral reefs and estuaries, and freshwater environments like lakes and ponds.
Tropical rainforests serve several important purposes: as water catchment areas that slowly filter rainwater into the groundwater supply; as "green lungs" that absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen; and as habitat to over 2 million species of flora and fauna as well as indigenous peoples who rely on the forest for food and resources. Rainforests also provide timber for construction and contain thousands of plant species with potential medical applications.

Ecosystem: a natural environment which includes the flora (plants) and fauna (animals) that live and interact within that environment. Biodiversity: the variety of natural life and habitats on Earth.
This document discusses natural resources and their importance in science. It defines natural resources as materials that exist naturally within the environment without human disturbance. Some key natural resources mentioned include forests, ponds, rivers, wetlands, and marine environments. Forests regulate climate, store carbon, and contain high biodiversity. Aquatic ecosystems like ponds and rivers provide habitat for many organisms. Wetlands are highly productive. Oceans contain living resources like algae and animals, as well as non-living resources like minerals. Natural resources are important in science for studying organisms, ecosystems, nutrient cycles, and conducting research. They are the source of many raw materials and specimens used across various scientific fields.
The document discusses coral reef biodiversity and the Great Barrier Reef. It describes the Great Barrier Reef as a collection of over 3000 coral reefs off Australia's coast, forming one of the natural wonders of the world. It is home to thousands of species and provides food and jobs to the local economy. However, the reef is threatened by pollution, coastal development, ship traffic, and climate change, which have already damaged and killed parts of the reef. The reef ecosystem is highly complex, with coral polyps, fish, sharks, rays, and other species interacting as producers, grazers, predators, and through symbiotic relationships.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
