Unit 1 (IP) Environmental Science Stephanie Curry Beverly Hamilton American InterContinental University 7/16/2013 Abstract In this report we will be exploring Grasslands‚ define abiotic and biotic‚ we will see where Grassland I located and see an example. We will describe the structure of Grassland: listing both the abiotic and biotic components of Grassland‚ we will be describing the function of the ecosystem. How do the abiotic and the biotic components interact in biochemical cycles? Describe

invertebrates have been described for 30 years. However‚ biodiversity in our country is rapidly degraded‚ areas of natural ecosystems are shrinking. Number of species and number of individuals of each species are decreasing. Many valuable wild species are declining strongly in numbers‚ or threatened with extinction at high level. The wild genetic resources are in recession faster and

Water Resource Plan Written by EMMANUEL MCCLAIN Axia University of Phoenix SCI 275 Instructor TED BREWSTER Eutrophication is the depletion of oxygen in an aquatic ecosystem. Eutrophication occurs when a body of water enriched with excess nutrients‚ nitrogen and phosphorus from dead plant material and waste. Nitrogen pollution largely derived from agricultural fertilizers and emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. Phosphorus pollution comes from wastewater treatment and detergents
