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 community from nearby ecosystem. Ecologic successions occur as a result of drastic change in the environment

Brazilian Rainforest is home to a myriad of exotic animals‚ each equipped with their own fair share of abilities to survive in the wild. There are one thousand seven hundred species of birds‚ six hundred ninety-five amphibious species‚ six hundred fifty-one species of reptiles and five hundred seventy-eight mammalian species (Butler‚ 2014). In Brazil resides one-third of the world’s rainforests‚ which is nestled right around the Earth’s equator (Butler‚ 2014). As a result‚ the rainforests experience

Period 2 4-11-12 They Should Be Saved Rainforests cover about six percent of the world. Millions of tribal people inhabit these rainforests. A little less than fifty percent of the world’s animals and insects live in the rainforests. Although rainforests seem so important‚ they are being destroyed at an alarming rate today. Humans should stop cutting down rainforests because destroying them causes plants and insects to become endangered and there is also a great supply of fruit and nut trees

Interaction between Abiotic and Biotic Components All living organisms depend upon their environment for survival essentials: 1) food 2) shelter 3) breeding site. In turn the organism interacts with the environment in several ways. For example a plant uses the environment for the three purposes named above but in turn it also removes carbon dioxide and water from the air‚ it gets eaten by an animal or a parasite and it depends on the soil for its support. Therefore the plant is interacting

Identifying the Rainforest The Mt Keira rainforest is located in Wollongong‚ New South Wales in Australia. The Mt Keira rainforest is what we call a subtropical rainforest. There are four types of rainforest: Tropical‚ subtropical‚ warm-temperate and cool-temperate. Tropical rainforests have generally have a warmer climate than subtropical rainforests. Warm-temperate rainforest are slightly cooler than subtropical rainforests‚ and cool-temperate rainforests have very cool climates‚ i.e. Canada

Rainforests February 18th‚ 2013 Mr. Zanardo AJ D’Orazio CGF 3M Grade 11 Rainforests are the oldest living ecosystems on earth. They only cover about 6% of the Earth surface but they contain more than half of the world’s animal and plant species. Rainforests are described as a tall but dense jungle. It is called a “rain” forest because of the high amount of rainfall it gets per year. There are two different types of rainforests Tropical and Temperate. A tropical rainforest is located

The Rainforest supports a largest number and greatly diverse variety of animals. Many plants and animals in the rainforest must adapt to survive the warm temperatures and a large amount of constant rainfall year around. Plants are important for the rain forest because they enable the survival of many other species. In fact‚ since plants must reach the sunlit areas they must adapt and wrap around trees in order to take nutrients and collect water when it rains. These plants also give rise to animals

ABIOTIC FACTORS AND ITS ENVIRONMENT Abstract Abiotic factors in the environment can affect an individual’s conditions‚ habits and activities. Tropics have altering weather conditions even if there is no seasonality. It may be sunny at a certain period of time then it will be overcast all of a sudden. Testing abiotic components would help us show diversity in different kinds of environment. Three varied location were selected; A classroom‚ a busy street (Recto Ave.) and the university garden
