all and only individual living things. This concept‚ in conjunction with the slightly less expanded sentio-centrism of Peter Singer and Tom Regan and the further-expanded moral consideration of the biotic community inherent in ecocentrism and deep ecology‚ more explicitly defines the moral obligations of humans with regard to environmental policy. The concept of radical equality is perhaps the most contentious claim of biocentrists; however it is neither necessary nor detrimental to the usefulness

Introduction Biogeochemical cycles are important to the sustainability of all life. Chemical elements necessary for the growth and reproduction of all organisms have a limited quantity on earth at any one time‚ other than the occasional meteor that brings with it new matter. It is therefore important that the recycling of these chemical elements is efficient. Autotrophs are the basis of almost all ecosystems. The rate that autotrophs produce and transfer energy is vital to the capacity of organisms

It studies interactions between different organisms and their environments‚ including relations within its own species and members of others. Ecology focuses more on the population‚ community‚ and ecosystem ecology although it also includes a wide variety of fields. Both the living (biotic) and the

preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? This is an interesting question. Lets consider the fact that it begins by stating extinction is a natural selection process. This seems to stifle one side of this argument.The side of the argument that rallies humans to be concerned with the extinction rate and strive to preserve a representation sample of all biomes or aquatic zones. If extinction is nature’s survival of the

In Canada alone there are hundreds of known invasive species including insects‚ birds‚ mammals‚ reptiles‚ amphibians‚ crustaceans‚ aquatic and terrestrial plants‚ marine and freshwater fish‚ algae‚ fungi‚ and molluscs. Many species are able to incorporate into the existing environment without harming it; however there has been an increasing number of invasive species that cause uncontrollable
