ECOLOGY
“No man is an island entire of itself. Every man is a piece of a continent, a part of the main”-John Donne
![Page 2: ECOLOGY “No man is an island entire of itself. Every man is a piece of a continent, a part of the main” -John Donne.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e105503460f94afc517/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is Ecology? The study of the interactions of organisms
with one another and with their physical environment.
Biotic Factors Organisms that are living (or WERE living at one
time….paper, steak)
ex- animals, plants, bacteria, fungus
Abiotic Factors Physical Environment (non-living)
ex- water, air, dirt, rocks

FYI…
Latitude (shown as a horizontal line) is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds of a point north or south of the Equator. Lines of latitude are often referred to as parallels. Longitude (shown as a vertical line) is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian. Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians.

AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS
?
Salinity, Water depth, Temperature, pH, presence/absence of waves/currents

Key Points of a Flowing Freshwater Ecosystem: (Streams, Rivers)• Greatly different conditions from source to mouth• Headwater streams –shallow, clear, fast….high or low O2?
• 99% of energy from?• Adaptions for living?
• Downstream- wider, slower, deeper, cloudy.• More producers for energy
Human Impact?
*Less than 2% of Earth’s surface is freshwater

Key Points of a Standing Freshwater Ecosystem: (Ponds, Lakes)• Zonation: Littoral, Limnetic, Profundal• Most Productive?• Depth of the Limnetic zone?• Zone with primarily Phytoplankton and Zooplankton?• Mineral Richest Zone? Why? O2 Levels?

ESTUARIES: Salt Marshes, Mangroves Where fresh water and
salt water meet
Among the most fertile of ecosystems- why?
Tides/circulation Land minerals Shallow/light Many Plants/detritus
Subject to changes in: Salinity Water Levels (Tides) Temperature*Stressful to live
Human Impact?

Species Richness:The number of different species in a community.
Species Diversity: a measure of both species richness and the relative abundance of each species. A community with the same species richness can be less diverse if, on average, there is much greater abundance of some species over others.
Ch 53#11: How is species richness of a community related to (1) geographic isolation; (2) the structural complexity of the habitats?
