Bio 1 River Ecology Lab Report Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and their environment which includes both physical and biological factors. Humans have a major influence on ecosystems and this is very important in the waterways of California. The American River has been influenced greatly by humans by mining for gold‚ pollution through humans themselves‚ and an immense amount of other things (Becker 1992). We tested the growth of bacteria in the water of the American

In Mike Davis’s‚ Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster‚ he analyzes the patterns and trends of Southern California’s environment. Through his research‚ Mike Davis explains how the history of Southern California’s environment proves that California is uninhabitable. However‚ over the last century there have only been two earthquakes and no one hundred plus year droughts. Leading to the question‚ how has man made it possible to live in such an environment? Over the past few

Ecology EQ’s 2. Abiotic and biotic components influence each other. For instance‚ temperature (abiotic factor) can make plants (biotic factor) reproduce more or reproduce less. Also water‚ an abiotic factor‚ has an effect on how animals‚ a biotic factor‚ survive in certain areas of the world. 3. Because a different niche allows multiple species of organisms to coexist. If all organisms had the same niche‚ then there would be heavy competition for food‚ shelter‚ etc. Having different niches gives

specifically‚ in ecology‚ as the predictable pattern of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. There are two types of succession; primary and secondary. Primary succession refers to the successional development of plant communities that takes place on a site formerly devoid of vegetation and usually lack well developed soil. Secondary succession refers to the
