of factors that can contribute to the growth of a population and these trends can be seen in a number of species. It is generally believed‚ from an ecological perspective‚ that populations will display either an exponential of logistic growth rate. If optimal environments are consistently maintained with no biotic or abiotic limiting factors (excess food‚ excess space availability‚ optimum climactic environment‚ no predation‚ etc) then a population will grow in an exponential direction.

between ecosystem and ecology? Ecosystem is the physical system (an open system) in which the mutual interaction between biotic and aboitic component motored by the energy component is studied. While the Ecology is the science which study the interrelation between Abiotic (inorganic) and Biotic (organic) components as well as the interaction among the biotic component. To make it more clear‚ ecosystem is the fundamental unit of ecological study. Ecology vs Ecosystem Ecology and ecosystem are

Problems Related to Population Growth Population growth is a major issue within today’s world‚ with the rapid and exponentially increasing rate of population growth causing problems with overcrowded areas affecting the business environment as well as everyday life. The world’s population is at an estimated 7 billion people (BBC‚ 2011) and ‘at today’s rate‚ population would skyrocket by 2100‚ to 27 billion from today’s 7 billion’. (Harvard Gazette‚ 2012).

Family Planning Programme in India India is the second most populous nation‚ after China. United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) has worked that such an increase in population will have adverse effect on the existing economic and social condition of our nation. India launched a nationwide Family Planning Programmed in 1952. India is the first country in the world to launch such a programme. A fully-active Department of Family Planning was created at the Centre in 1966 and

He states that all life forms have the right to flourish and reach its full potential without human interference (First Principle). He expressed these ideas through the 8 principles of Deep Ecology‚ which‚ in my eyes are extremely similar to traditional

China ’s Population Problem The Chinese government has taken the enforcement of family planning and birthrate laws to an extreme by violating the civil rights of its citizens‚ which has had bad effects on the morale of its people (Whyte 161). China ’s population has grown to such an enormous size that it has become a problem to both the people and government.

1. Living organisms play an important role in the recycling of many elements within an ecosystem. One such way this idea can be proven is through the study of carbon in an ecosystem. Plants‚ for starters‚ are a major part of this carbon cycle. During photosynthesis‚ plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as a waste product. Another major contributor to this vital cycle is the human being. The average human being goes through respiration each day to help maintain
