capable of damaging the environment‚ the human economy and human health. Some of these invasive creatures have caused the extinction of whole species and have caused irreparable damage to the surrounding ecosystem. For example‚ alien insects‚ organisms‚ plants cause damage to crops and forests. Some invasive fishes contributed to the disappearance of a lot of fish species through predation and competition for food. Migratory crab‚ during his mass migration contributes to the temporary disappearance

Megan Jones Composition and Research Annotated Bibliography November 26‚ 2013 Introduction Fifty percent of all species live in rain forests. Already eighty percent of the world’s natural forests have been destroyed. In the amazon rain forest alone is where twenty percent of our oxygen is created. These are just some of the many reasons why deforestation has become such a large problem today. Almost fifty thousand species become extinct every year due to deforestation. Such extreme cutting has

changes to include retreating and eroding shorelines‚ dying coral reefs‚ salt water intrusion into the freshwater aquifer‚ increasing numbers of forest fires‚ and warmer air and sea surface temperatures. Increased salinity would occur from rising saltwater into the Everglades from the Florida Bay. The increase in salinity would damage freshwater ecosystems. Changing Climate Changing climate causes changes in vegetation or habitat characteristics in terrestrial habitats Some species seek

Ecosystem Components and Interactions I. Introduction An ecosystem is a complex relationship between a community of organisms and the environment that they dwell in where energy is exchanged and transformed. Ecosystem includes the biotic (living organisms)‚ the abiotic (physical and chemical factors)‚ and the interactions made between these. They continually interact with each other‚ thus making complex systems with intersecting properties wherein “everything is connected”. In ecosystem ecology

Ecosystem Composition of the Valdivian Temperate Rainforest One of the world’s largest temperate rainforests is the Valdivian Temperate Rainforest (Wade et al. 2008). The Valdivian Temperate Rainforest ranges along the Pacific coasts of southern Chile and Argentina in South America‚ between 36 and 47° S latitude. This forest occurs in the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome (Perry et al. 2008). The broadleaf evergreen flowering trees that dominate the Valdivian are believed to have evolved

My project was over the tropical rainforest biome. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50-260 inches (125-660) cm of rain falls yearly. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100-300 species in one 2 ½ acre area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as

Natural Resources and Energy Paper Natural ecosystem is a natural unit consisting of all plants‚ animals‚ and microorganism in an area functioning together with all the non-living physical of the environment which plants and animals are dependent upon one another‚ and their particular surroundings-for survival. Natural ecosystems make up the planet on which we live as well as the entire universe. They are dynamic and interconnected. An ecosystem is a collection of all plants‚ animals‚ microorganisms

the surface of the ocean. Ecosystems Since the biosphere is way too large and complex for scientists to study as a whole‚ so they separate it into smaller units call ecosystems. There are two things that make up an ecosystem‚ the areas physical features (abiotic factors) and living organisms (biotic factors). The organisms living together in an ecosystem are called a community. Sometimes things in one ecosystem are affected from another ecosystems‚ so ecosystems are not self contained. Ecological
