What is Ecology? Ecology - the study of the interactions of organisms with one another and with their environment. Ecologist – a scientist who studies ecology
Two Parts of an Ecosystem Biotic factors ◦ The living parts of an ecosystem Ex. : plants, animals, fungi, bacteria ◦ Bio = living; life Abiotic factors ◦ The nonliving parts of an ecosystem Ex: water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, soil ◦ A = non; not; without ◦ Bio = living; life
What are the biotic parts of this environment? The abiotic parts?
Graphic Organizer
Organism Single living thing
Population A group of individuals of the same species that live together.
Community All the different populations of species that live together in an area –or. All of the living things (biotic factors) in an area
Find examples of each level of ecological organization:
Ecosystems Made up of all the living and nonliving things (biotic and abiotic factors) that interact in a particular area ◦ Examples: prairie, mountain stream, ocean, forest
Ecosystems, Habitats & Niches In an ecosystem, organisms live in a habitat. ◦ Habitat provides food, water & shelter ◦ A single ecosystem may contain many habitats. Within an ecosystem, organisms fit into a niche. ◦ Role or job within the ecosystem
Biome A large region with a similar climate, and specific plant and animal communities based on that climate Terrestrial (Land) Aquatic (Water) Tropical rainforest Marine (oceans) Savanna/Grassland Freshwater (rivers & lakes) Temperate Forest Estuary Desert Taiga Tundra Mountain
Biosphere The part of Earth where life exists ◦ The biosphere includes the top portion of Earth’s crust, all the waters that cover Earth’s surface, and the atmosphere that surrounds Earth.
Ecological Organization
How is it all tied together?
Summary ◦ Add illustrations to your graphic organizer. Should be based on one of the biomes: Terrestrial (Land) Aquatic (Water) Tropical rainforest Marine (oceans) Savanna/Grassland Freshwater (rivers & lakes) Temperate Forest Estuary Desert Taiga Tundra Mountain
