Aquatic ecosystem

the new area and eventually said creature would be deemed an invasive species. Invasive species can destroy biodiversity, pushing out native creatures and altering ecological habitats. One reason as to how non-native species are introduced to our ecosystems is through the transportation of goods overseas. Unknowingly, people transport these creatures with them, eventually having these roam in our environment. Busy shipping areas, like the Port of Oakland, are especially vulnerable to invading…

Biology Essay - Oran O'Sullivan One of the most dangerous and controversial contaminants today is tributyltin (TBT). Tributyltin is one of the most poisonous substances to be released to the aquatic environment today (Knutzen, 1995). The tributyltin compounds are a subgroup of the trialkyl organotin family of compounds (Extoxnet, 1996). The main use of Tributyltin is as a stabilizer in the manufacturing of plastic products, such as anti-yellowing agent in clear plastics and as a catalyst in poly…

We are given the question which factors affect the stability of a Predator-Prey Population. Our goal is to find what factors could change a species population. A stable ecosystem means that a plant or animal does not overpopulate or underpopulate.. If the ecosystem is unstable, then a specie will grow largely, and another one would grow small. Our group collected how the population changed overtime and see if one specie goes extinct in our experiment. We put the experiment on a specific time…

Morongo preserve. My semester project was to clean the Morongo preserve. I went with my friends sergio and anthony to the preserve. We were all meeting up at the preserve around 8:00 am. My friends and I were suppose to do this for a semester project in MS Zacks class. This was all possible because my mom took the time to drive me to the Morongo Preserve drop me off and pick me up after. The ecological perspective of my project is that the animals who lived near the preserve won't be affected…

For my biology project I chose to plant a Palo verde tree. I decided to plant my tree in the front yard of my house. It is near a few cacti and some other trees. I put some black fencing around the tree to protect it from any wild animals, such as the jackrabbits that like to roam in my yard. I watered my tree every day for the past two months. I checked for the growth of it twice, and in total it grew about an inch. Trees are a necessity in this environment. Trees provide oxygen and help…

Kelly seweyn Per;5 Is the Norway Rat an Invasive species that is what we going to be learning about in this paper including other non-invasive and invasive species but first we need to know what they are so you can talk away your best view from this paper. A invasive species have few natural predators, have high reproduction rates, are long lived, are pioneer species (meaning they were brought here from other places ) , They are generalists, they kill native species, produce abundant…

relationship an organism has with other organisms and the relationship the organism has with their surrounding environment (Ecology, 2015). The creeks were a perfect example of an ecosystem in our study because they had different Abiotic and Biotic factors that we could look at to support our hypothesis and prediction. An ecosystem is an environment where abiotic (nonliving) and biotic (living) interact with each other(Brooker,Widmaier,Graham,Stiling, 2011). The purpose of this experiment was so…

As a landowner, it is important to manage invasive plants in order to preserve our native habitat; to care for our fields, forests and waterways; and protect farmlands. Controlling the spread of invasives can be a complicated issue, because complete eradication is unrealistic in most cases. Managing the most common invasive plants, different control techniques, and tips for preventing new invasions from occurring can help to stop the spread of such plant species. Non-native invasive plants…

species all over the world in many different ecosystems. But some of these species do not belong in the ecosystem they are in and these are called invasive species. Invasive species are non-native species of plants and animals introduced to an ecosystem usually by humans. The invasive species can thrive in an ecosystem where there are little to no natural predators and an abundance of resources. Due to these factors the invasive species can dominate an ecosystem and disrupt its natural balance…

Invasive species have the potential to have a dramatic, negative impact on the areas that they invade. This can be observed in the harm that they cause to the environment and their impact on the health of humans and other animals. Arguably, invasive species cause the most damage by contributing to the loss of other species’ habitats. Many of the endangered plant and animal species found in the United States are in this position, in part, because of the impact of invasive species on their habitat…
