In the ecosystem project‚ there are three chambers. The three chambers in our ecosystem are aquatic‚ decomposition and terrestrial. We formed a hypothesis about what would happen to the biotic factors in each chamber of the ecosystem. For the aquatic chamber‚ we stated that the fish would die if the fish did not receive enough oxygen and enough food in the tank. The decomposition chamber did not have a lot of changes much because there is no activity or life in that chamber besides the the potato

of the water for drinking purposes and a healthy eco-system. The ponds are oblong shaped with one input and one output of water for each. The upper pond is teaming with aquatic plant life including lily pads‚ tall grasses and thick bushes all congregating around the edges. The lower pond also contains an abundance of aquatic plants on the shallow shores of the water. Both ponds are fairly stagnant beyond the initial flow of water in and out of the ponds. At first look these ponds appear to be

Going against most Western cornucopian thought‚ is an understanding that Homo sapiens are not the most valuable species. Instead deep ecology teaches that all species‚ all life our planet Earth‚ has equal value and standing because at the end of the day we all just parts of our environment‚ just small players in ecological cycles that have been going on for eons. Although humans have greatly
