A Study on Mangrove Ecosystems Ecosystems are very delicate mechanisms‚ and the mangroves are particularly fragile. Mangroves rely on a multifaceted interface comprising of their land position‚ rainfall hydrology‚ sedimentation‚ subsidence‚ sea level‚ storms‚ pest-predator relationships and many other biogeochemical and environmental factors. Any one of these interactions becoming skewed or unsettled can lead to a rapid decline in the numbers of the mangroves in any environment. A relatively simple

Bees are very important to our ecosystem. People don’t really care about bees and just only think that they only make honey and pollinate flowers. Bees do a lot more than just make honey‚ pollinate flowers or sting living things for defensive purposes. Bees play a big part in our food supply and the environment‚ if they go extinct then we lose a lot of food and the ecosystem will be out of balance. Bees do a lot for the ecosystem‚ the main thing that they do is pollinate. “Pollination

between intraspecific competition and interspecific competition. Give an example of each. Explanation Example Type of Competition Intraspecific competition Interspecific competition 3. What is G. F. Gause’s competitive exclusion principle? Give one example. 4. Define ecological niche. 5. Several species of Anolis lizards live in the same types of trees and have a similar diet. Discuss resource partitioning to explain how interspecific competition is reduced. (Study Figure 54.2.)

Observing Ecosystems Ecosystems-The sums of all the organisms living within its boundaries and all the abiotic factors with which they interact. Chemical Elements such as carbon and Nitrogen are cycled among abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. Photosynthetic organisms assimilate these elements in inorganic form from the air‚ soil‚ and water and incorporate them into their biomass‚ some of which is consumed by animals. Both energy and matter are transformed in ecosystems throught

Ecosystem Preservation versus Conservation Earth is composed of many different ecosystems and each one is a "dynamic complex of plant‚ animal‚ and micro-organism communities interacting with the non-living environment as a functional unit" (Protecting Threatened Ecosystems‚ 2004). These ecosystems are an intricate part of the human lifecycle as they provide us with our water‚ food and energy. Since mankind is in a take and take some more relationship with the ecosystems‚ many of them have had their
