is defined as the Earth's natural systems and human culture systems can survive, flourish, and adapt to the changing environmental conditions into a very long-term future

Sustainability

warms up the planet- Provides necessary power to plantsto produce nutrients- Indirectly forms other types of energy (wind, flowing water)

Solar energy

- Variety of species, genes, ecosystems, and interactions among organisms- Feeding interactions provide vitalecosystem services control population- Provides ways for life to adapt to changing environmental conditions

Biodiversity

Circulation of chemical necessary for life to environment

Chemical cycling

All organism in ecosystem are dependent to each other

Interdependency

Material and energy in nature are essential or useful to human

Natural Resources

Ex. Electricity from wind and sun

Exhaustible resources

Air water topsoil animal

Renewable resources

Copper coil oil

Non-renewable resources

Harvesting species faster than population

Over exploitation

A threat of biodiversity when they possess adaptation to dominate or compete with native species

Invasive especies

Contribute to the water cycle,provides water for drink and irrigation

Transpiration

Contribute both to the process of soil formation and regulatory of climate through photosynthesis

Rainforest

Some species help us control invasive aliens

Biological control agent

is a science that incorporates various academic fields to study the structure and function of our life-supporting environment

Environmental science

are water bodies, space, landforms, rocks, climate soils, and minerals.

Physical elements

are natural elements such as plants, animals, microorganisms, and men constitute the biosphere.

Biological elements

such as social, economic, and political elements are mostly human-made features that make cultural milieu.

Cultural elements

it is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment

Ecosystem

called as an ecological unit

Ecosystem

occur on only 1.8% of Earth‘s surface.

Freshwater (Standing) ecosystems

comprise 75% of Earth‘s surface and consist of three basic types: deep ocean water, shallow ocean, and ocean bottom

Marine ecosystems

are grouped into broad categories called biomes and are known for being diverse

Terrestrial ecosystems,

is a large-scale community of organisms, primarily defined on land by the dominant plant types

A biome

Macroecosystems are dimensionally larger systems, such as a forest or a lake.

Macroecosystems

are experimental set-ups in the field or laboratory built by life scientists and environmental biologists interested in evaluating the functional mechanisms of an ecosystem.

micro-ecosystems

components (biocenosis) include all living organisms and their products.

Biotic

are the physical and chemical factors that act on living organisms

Abiotic

pertains to the flow of elements and compounds moving continuously

biogeochemical cycle

-the movement of water between different reservoirs on the Earth

Water (Hydrologic) Cycle

is a symbiotic relationship in which species (the parasite) benefits while the other species (the host) is harmed.

Parasitism

- a symbiotic relationship where species benefits while the other species are not affected

Commensalism

is a symbiotic bond in which both species profit.

Mutualism

is an intimate relationship between two species in which one or more species benefits

Symbiosis

is a relationship within organisms striving for the same limited resources.

Competition

is a relationship where members of one species (the predator) consume other species (the prey).

Predation

is the biotic part consisting of populations of diverse species existing and interacting together in the same area.

Community
