Title : Ecological Sampling Objectives : 1. To learn the method of constructing a quadrate on an area of grassland in Biodiversity Park. 2. To estimate the population sizes of Species A using the quadrate sampling method. 3. To observe how abiotic factors affect the population of Species A. Introduction : Since there is an abundance of populations in a forest‚ it is impossible for us to study all of the populations due to financial constraints‚ time consuming and

Ecology is the study of the relationship of between organisms and their environment‚ including both the living and nonliving compounds. Some of the ecological concepts include succession‚ energy flow between trophic levels‚ limiting factors‚ and carrying capacity. First‚ succession is a change in species structure of an ecological community over time. Over time species in the community become more and more abundant and may not be present at all one day. Also‚ sometimes new species might invade the

countries by ecological footprint. This table is based on 2007 data from the Global Footprint Network published in 2010. Data is given as global hectares per capita. The world-average ecological footprint in 2007 was 2.7 global hectares per person (18.0 billion in total). With a world-average biocapacity of 1.8 global hectares per person (12 billion in total)‚ this leads to an ecological deficit of 0.9 global hectares per person (6 billion in total).

Ecological Crisis - A state of human-induced ecological disorder that could lead to the destruction of ecological conditions on this planet to such an extent that human life‚ at least‚ will be seriously impaired for generations‚ if not destroyed. Moral approach on Ecological Crisis - First among these is the INDISCRIMINATE APPLICATION of advances in science and technology. Many recent discoveries have brought undeniable benefits to humanity. Indeed‚ they demonstrate the nobility of the human vocation

ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS • If we arrange the organisms in a food chain according to their trophic levels‚ we often form a pyramid with a broad base representing primary produces & only a few individuals in the higher trophic level. • This pyramid arrangement is especially true if we look at the E content of an ecosystem. • Following the 2nd law of thermodynamics‚ less food E is available to the top trophic level than is available to the preceding level. • For example‚ it takes

The ecological complex is used to describe broad urban change in cities. The ecological complex identifies the relationship between four concepts‚ known as “POET”‚ population‚ organization‚ environment‚ and technology. Detroit was affected in many different ways by POET between 1900 and 1910 and also between 2000 and 2010. Population refers to the number of people or growth in cities. Between 1900 and 1910 the population of Detroit grew rapidly because of the advancement in technology at the

There have been many ongoing debates over the definition of ecological restoration. While there are still many definitions that people use to define this term‚ ecological restoration is generally defined as “the process of returning‚ as nearly as possible‚ a biotic community to a condition of biological integrity” (Callicott‚ 577). This term‚ however‚ means different things to different people. It not only encompasses the environmental aspects‚ but the cultural‚ social‚ historical‚ political aspects

ECOLOGICAL IMPACT Pesticide/Herbicide Neonicotinoid usage is not only bad for bees and pollinating insects but also has harmful effects on birds‚ terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates; their propensity for runoff and for groundwater infiltration dangerous to humans and animals; A single corn kernel coated with a neonicotinoid can kill a songbird. Even a tiny grain of wheat or canola treated with the oldest neonicotinoid‚ imidacloprid‚ can poison a bird. As little as 1/10th of a corn seed per day
