habitat is the natural home or environment of an animal‚ plant‚ or other organism. One in NH is a pond. A niche is an organisms job in its habitat. In a pond it is a turtles job to eat fish keeping the population under control. The aquatic plant in my ecosystem is Hornwort its niche is the provide my fish with food and to clear my water and limit algae growth. Journal 3 Obvious changes in my ecocolumn are the growth of the plants. They have grown substantially and look healthy. This is probably because

drastically changing the environment with all the needs he has. Humans cut down entire forests in the course of a month. Then we build buildings in its place making it impossible for anything to grow there. Those trees were a crucial part to the ecosystem and environment‚ which are now changed forever. We also drive cars‚ which emit exhaust‚ which in turn hurts our ozone layer and heats up the Earth. Once the ozone layer is damaged the ice caps melt a little and now the entire environment is changed

A wetland is a land area that is saturated with water‚ either permanently or seasonally‚ such that it takes on the characteristics of a distinct ecosystem.[2] Primarily‚ the factor that distinguishes wetlands from other land forms or water bodies is the characteristic vegetation that is adapted to its unique soil conditions. Wetlands consist primarily of hydric soil‚ which supports aquatic plants.[3][4] The water found in wetlands can be saltwater‚ freshwater‚ or brackish.[4] Main wetland types

the loss of jobs for all the employees. The argument for diverting water for permitting the flow of water to natural areas would allow the recharge of groundwater supplies which is important in sustaining a supply of water for the human use and ecosystems. Conservation of water supplies is important for future generations so that they will have enough available water for consumption to urban areas and agricultural areas. (C) Garrison Diversion Project was to divert water from the Missouri River

understory of the forest‚ leaving behind fertile ash that will later become the means for new growth. Because of the destruction the fire leaves behind‚ many people have been deceived by the appearance of what is left instead of looking to see that the ecosystem depends on this "destruction" to grow new life. For example many sub-species of pine trees need the extreme heat of the fire to melt the wax on their cones to let their seeds fall on to the ground so they may grow into trees later in life. Another

and other living things. The value of many species cannot be predicted. Many plants may contain chemicals that could prove useful in treating illnesses‚ among other things. Also‚ the extinction of any species can disturb the equilibrium of an ecosystem. So‚ basically‚ we should understand that all of our actions have effects on other organisms and the environment. Well I hope this convinced you that studying biology is a very important skill to have and that it has cleared up any questions

Ecology is the study of interrelationship between living organisms and their environment. Life and environment are interdependent. The plant and animal life is effected by various environmental factors and in turn they modify their environment in various ways. The main theme of ecological studies is the relationship between organisms and environment‚ so ecology may well be called as "Environmental Biology." Growth‚ development and destruction of all organisms is determined by physical and biological
