A Study on Mangrove Ecosystems Ecosystems are very delicate mechanisms‚ and the mangroves are particularly fragile. Mangroves rely on a multifaceted interface comprising of their land position‚ rainfall hydrology‚ sedimentation‚ subsidence‚ sea level‚ storms‚ pest-predator relationships and many other biogeochemical and environmental factors. Any one of these interactions becoming skewed or unsettled can lead to a rapid decline in the numbers of the mangroves in any environment. A relatively simple

components in the ecosystem such as air‚ water‚ soil‚ temperature and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living components in the ecosystem such as animals and plants. In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities and biosphere. A species is a group of organisms that look alike and have similar characteristics‚ share the same roles in an ecosystem and are capable

Observing Ecosystems Ecosystems-The sums of all the organisms living within its boundaries and all the abiotic factors with which they interact. Chemical Elements such as carbon and Nitrogen are cycled among abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. Photosynthetic organisms assimilate these elements in inorganic form from the air‚ soil‚ and water and incorporate them into their biomass‚ some of which is consumed by animals. Both energy and matter are transformed in ecosystems throught

Man Made Ecosystem By: De Belen‚ Bea Dela Cruz‚ Haydee Dofredo‚ Alona Jane What is Ecosystem? An ecosystem includes all of the living things (plants‚ animals and organisms) in a given area‚ interacting with each other‚ and also with their non-living environments (weather‚ earth‚ sun‚ soil‚ climate‚ atmosphere). Importance of Ecosystem. Ecosystems are communities of living things and the environmental features that support them. Ecosystems are essential to human life‚ providing us with innumerable

following questions completely using your results from the activity‚ as well as what you have learned in the lesson: 1. Identify the roles (producer‚ primary consumer‚ secondary consumer‚ or decomposer) of the hare and the wolf in the simulated ecosystem. Explain your answers in complete sentences. Hare: The hare is the primary consumer as it eats grass and plants. It doesn’t eat other consumers‚ making it a primary consumer. Wolf: The wolf is a secondary consumer as it continues eating/killing

The Ecosystem of the Florida Everglades The Florida Everglades is a vast wetland ecosystem made up of marshes and swamps. This ecosystem begins at Lake Okeechobee‚ a large lake in central Florida‚ and ends in the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Bay. It is nearly 50 miles across and 110 miles long and contains mile after mile of shallow water flowing through thick mats of

the fish species by destroying their homes. Overexploitation is a huge risk‚ and this became very evident when the wolf population in Yellowstone was wiped out. Every wolf was hunted and killed in Yellowstone‚ and once the wolves were gone‚ the ecosystem became very unbalanced and many species started to either die out or be overpopulated. As for methods to help sustain species‚ core reserves and wildlife corridors are very effective methods. Core reserves are natural areas for organisms away from

The main ecosystem I will focus on will be the habitats that tigers live in. More specifically I will focus on the effects that tigers have on their ecosystem and what would happen if tigers we to unfortunately go extinct. The tiger is one of the biggest components in its ecosystem besides for humans. Without tigers in their ecosystem their environment would completely fall

A food web is the entirety of interrelated food chains in any and every ecosystem. This delicate balance is the connection between predator and prey‚ consumer and producer‚ and autotroph and heterotrophs. Food web’s also allows you to follow the direction of the flow of energy as each organism consumes each of their indicated food sources. For example‚ the energy from the sun is taken in by producers‚ such as ‚ trees‚ grass and fruit. Then goes to an autotroph would be eaten by a second trophic
