Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment. Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment. It is not the same thing as environmentalism, but the two are related. Ecology and the Biosphere Population: individuals of the same species Community: all of the species that live in an area Ecosystem: abiotic factors as well as the community Biosphere: the global ecosystem. Ecology and the Biosphere Ecosystem ecology deals with energy flow and chemical cycling among biotic and abiotic components. Ecology and the Biosphere The distribution of species Ecology and the Biosphere The distribution of species Dispersal: • natural range expansion • species transplants Ecology and the Biosphere The distribution of species Behavior and habitat selection Ecology and the Biosphere The distribution of species Behavior and habitat selection Biotic factors: predators parasites competition disease Ecology and the Biosphere The distribution of species Behavior and habitat selection Biotic factors: predators parasites competition disease Abiotic factors: temperature water sunlight wind rocks and soil Ecology and the Biosphere Climate Ecology and the Biosphere Climate Ecology and the Biosphere Climate Ecology and the Biosphere Climate Ecology and the Biosphere Climate Ecology and the Biosphere Climate Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Tropical Forest Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Temperate Broadleaf Forest Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Coniferous Forest Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Temperate Grassland Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Savanna Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Chaparral Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Tundra Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Desert Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes High Mountains Ecology and the Biosphere Terrestrial Biomes Polar Ice Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Lakes Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Streams and Rivers Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Wetlands Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Estuaries Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Intertidal Zones Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Coral Reefs Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Neritic Zone Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Pelagic Zone Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Benthic Zone Ecology and the Biosphere Aquatic Biomes Abyssal Zone Ecology and the Biosphere Important concepts: •Population •Community •Ecosystem •Biosphere •Biotic and abiotic factors •What causes climates? •Biomes.
