PPT-EXPLORING MARINE ECOSYSTEMS

All ecosystems contain biotic and abiotic factors Biotic living features Abiotic nonliving physical features Relationship between biotic and abiotic factors is important to ecosystem health. Types of Saltwater Ecosystems. Ocean. http://app.discoveryeducation.com/player/view?assetGuid. =ef5f2a34-edd4-4a8b-8d55. -. 881e5402994f. . Estuary. http. ://app.discoveryeducation.com/search?Ntt=lake+. There are two main categories of freshwater ecosystems. What is the main . difference between. these two ecosystems? . Standing water . v. . flowing-water ecosystems. Standing water—staying still, not moving. Living things need a place to live and grow.. . Fish live in water.. Birds live in trees and fly through the air.. Plants grow where there is soil, water and sun.. Main Idea and Details. ENVIRONMENT. 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. Too Much of a Good Thing?. Elephant populations in southern Africa declined sharply due to hunting but have made overwhelming comebacks within nature reserves and parks.. Some worry that elephant overpopulation is causing a decline in local biodiversity and damage to farms and infrastructure.. 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. The . altiplano. is a high plateau in the Andean regions of two South American nations.. The . varzea. , or “flooded forest,” is found mainly along the Amazon River in this nation.. The . cerrado. Section 3: . Aquatic Ecosystems. K. What I Know. W. What I Want to Find Out. L. What I Learned. Essential Questions. What are the major abiotic factors that determine the aquatic ecosystems?. What are transitional aquatic ecosystems and why are they important?. The Fiji Pearl Development Pla. n. was introduced June 7. th. 2017 at World Oceans day by the Fiji Government as one of 16 Voluntary commitments towards the implementation of Sustainable Goal 14.. What is ecology?. It is the science that studies how . organisms. relate to each other and their . environment. .. Considers both . biotic. (living) and . abiotic. (nonliving) aspects.. Examples of abiotic factors: . Summary. This lesson utilizes the example of healthy estuaries to demonstrate tools scientists use to measure ecosystem health. Students will learn the definition and function of an estuary, an essential coastal ocean ecosystem. Students will then learn methods to measure parameters of large areas using quadrats and subsets. . Unit Standards. 5.L.4A.1 . Analyze and interpret data to summarize the abiotic factors (including quantity of light and water, range of temperature, salinity, and soil composition) of different terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. . Getting started. You’ll need a notepad on which to make notes as you go along, or you could make notes, paste images, etc. on your device.. You can view these slides:. as a slide-show for any animations and to follow links. Connectivity, change, and resilience. Arny Blanchard. Institute of Marine Science. University of Alaska Fairbanks.
