Ecosystem Components The Tarkine rainforest is located off Australia‚ on an island known as Tasmania. The Tarkine rainforest is the second largest temperate rainforest in the world. Temperate rainforests are extremely rare. It runs continuous for more than 70 kilometers and contains the Rapid‚ Keith‚ Donaldson‚ and Savage River systems. Globally‚ this is one of the most significant rainforests‚ which is temperate‚ left of the plant. The Tarkine rainforest contains three out four of Tasmania’s

Ecosystems Components SCI/256 A region that receives fewer than 10 inches of rain annually is considered a desert. This lack of precipitation loosely illustrates what encompasses the desert ecosystem. Although there are many cold deserts around the globe‚ for the purpose of analysis‚ the focus of this paper will be hot desert ecosystems. The extreme heat of the day in some deserts can reach above 120 degrees and drop down below 32 degrees (National Geographic‚ 1996-2013). These temperature extremes

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited

Homework 6 – Siovhan Tan Referring to examples‚ discuss the threats to biodiversity hotspots and why these threats could prove critical (15 marks) Biodiversity hotspots are areas in the natural environment that contain some of the biggest concentration of flora and fauna in the world‚ often containing many rare and endangered species. However many of these ecosystems are threatened by the likes of climate change‚ increased urbanisation/land use and tourism developments which can prove critical

Interactions and Interrelationships among the Different Components of the Ecosystem I. Introduction Ecology is the study of environmental systems‚ or as it is sometimes called‚ the economy of nature (Hall and Weiss‚ 2010). 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
