coral ecosystems are some of the key habitats found in Singapore. Singapore is a city-state with a land area of about 710 km. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and yet‚ harbours rich native biodiversity‚ both terrestrial and marine. The wealth of biodiversity can be attributed to Singapore’s strategic location within the Malesian region. Favourable climatic conditions also help to account for the rich diversity of flora and fauna found in its varied ecosystems. The

This lab is an opportunity to observe‚ study‚ and learn about ecosystems and how the environment sustains life but in a much simpler and smaller scale which is called Eco Columns. The environmental conditions in the Eco Column could sustain life for several weeks‚ therefore over the course of the several weeks we will observe and study the interconnections between each ecosystems. A self sustaining requires components such as energy flow and chemical cycle. This experiment will evaluate our knowledge

Analyse the human impacts affecting the nature and rate of change of two ecosystems at risk. All ecosystems are placed under levels of stress that must be withstood or overcome in the form of evolution in order to adapt and survive. These attributes determine the resilience and vulnerability of each and every ecosystem. These forms of stress fall under two categories; natural and human induced. In regards to natural stress‚ the term gradual is used as it happens at a slower rate and lesser magnitude

Unit 4 Ecosystems Background Introduction The abundance of a species and species diversity affect how natural resources are processed within an ecosystem. This pattern of processing contributes to functional and compositional characteristics of an ecosystem. But many ecosystems around the world are currently experiencing significant changes in species composition‚ abundance‚ and diversity due to the influence of human activity. These changes have‚ more often than not‚ led to a reduction in species
