In this lesson you will learn about:. the biological control of pest species. the use of GM crops as an alternative to using fertilisers and pesticides. Success criteria. Explain how biomes are characterized. Describe how net primary production varies among biomes. Explain how organisms are adapted to the conditions of their biomes. Describe the criteria ecologist use to classify aquatic systems. Chapter 1: The Human Organism. 1.

Chapter 3 (Miller and . Spoolman. , 2010). Core Case Study: Tropical Rain Forests Are Disappearing. Cover about 2% of the earth’s land surface. Contain about 50% of the world’s known plant and animal species. Reversing the Deforestation of Haiti. People use charcoal for fuel:. In 1923, 60% of country was covered in forest. Now, less than 2% remains forested. Disrupts ecosystem services that trees provide.. Aquatic ecosystems are primarily determined by the ecosystem’s . salinity. . Salinity refers to the dissolved salt content of the water.. Aquatic ecosystems are divided into freshwater and marine ecosystems.. Ocean Zones & Ecosystems. Freshwater Zones & Ecosystems. Related Ecology. Benthic Division. 6 Areas. . 1. Supralittoral zone. (supra= upper, litus=shore). . Water splashes but does not stay submerged. Human impact on the environment. The impact of human activities and environmental health sometimes needs to be monitored.. This could be measuring abiotic factors such as O. 2. levels, pollution or by sampling of organisms..
