Unit 4 Ecosystems Background Introduction The abundance of a species and species diversity affect how natural resources are processed within an ecosystem. This pattern of processing contributes to functional and compositional characteristics of an ecosystem. But many ecosystems around the world are currently experiencing significant changes in species composition‚ abundance‚ and diversity due to the influence of human activity. These changes have‚ more often than not‚ led to a reduction in species

That’s why urban ecosystem is so important to us. The emerging field of urban ecology as both valid and central to understanding the global environment now embraced in the scientific community. According to the data given by the World Bank about the concentration of human activity in urban centers‚ the trues is humans are the dominant species in all ecosystems‚ and the pace of environmental change‚ urban ecology is a critical area for environmental research. “Understanding urban natural resources

Ecology is the science of the study of ecosystems. Ecological balance has been defined by various online dictionaries as "a state of dynamic equilibrium within a community of organisms in which genetic‚ species and ecosystem diversity remain relatively stable‚ subject to gradual changes through natural succession." and "A stable balance in the numbers of each species in an ecosystem." The most important point being that the natural balance in an ecosystem is maintained. This balance may be disturbed
