Endangered Bengal Tigers in India The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the oldest and largest global environmental organization‚ working to help save endangered species. This organization’s main purpose is to provide worldwide alertness about any species or plant facing high global extension. The IUCN red list contains information on plants and animals that have been categorized as extinct or extinct in the wild‚ due to insufficient data. Once the species is placed on

A wetland is a land area that is saturated with water‚ either permanently or seasonally‚ such that it takes on the characteristics of a distinct ecosystem.[2] Primarily‚ the factor that distinguishes wetlands from other land forms or water bodies is the characteristic vegetation that is adapted to its unique soil conditions. Wetlands consist primarily of hydric soil‚ which supports aquatic plants.[3][4] The water found in wetlands can be saltwater‚ freshwater‚ or brackish.[4] Main wetland types

In ecology‚ the competitive exclusion principle‚ sometimes referred to as Gause’s law of competitive exclusion or just Gause’s law‚ is a proposition which states that two species competing for the same resources cannot coexist if other ecological factors are the same. When one species has even the slightest advantage or edge over another‚ then the one with the advantage will dominate in the long term. One of the two competitors will always overcome the other‚ leading to either the extinction

1. Definition Business Ecosystem is a strategic planning concept originated by James F. Moore . The basic definition appears in Moore’s book‚ The Death of Competition: Leadership and Strategy in the Age of Business Ecosystems‚ published in 1996. Moore proposed the following definition: “An economic community supported by a foundation of interacting organizations and individuals – the organisms of the business world. This economic community produces goods and services of value to customers‚ who

components in the ecosystem such as air‚ water‚ soil‚ temperature and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living components in the ecosystem such as animals and plants. In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities and biosphere. A species is a group of organisms that look alike and have similar characteristics‚ share the same roles in an ecosystem and are capable

2013 Aquatic Ecosystem Function An ecosystem can be defined as “all the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic factors with which they interact” (Reece et al. 2010). Common aquatic ecosystems range from the largest oceans to the smallest creeks‚ but each aquatic ecosystem plays a pivotal role in global ecology. Each ecosystem consists of important aspects including nutrients cycling‚ biodiversity‚ and energy flow that contribute to the overall state of the ecosystem. However‚ the limited
