Ecology

The current thinking of how we take care of the environment can be originated through major historical figures such as John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, and Aldo Leopold. These historical environmentalists have an impact on the foundation of Deep Ecologists and Eco Feminists. Each of them contributing their own representation of how to treat and protect the environment is being impacted in these groups of ecologists. Both of these innovators have major impacts on the fundamentals that both Eco…

The Chaparral biome is a natural occurrence of a community of plants and animals, often mistaken as a desert, and is rarely found globally. This biome has a mountainous and plain-like terrain with a hot and dry climate. The plants and animals are well adapted to this environment. Though, similar to other biomes, the Chaparral can be impacted by humans and environmental factors. In addition, the altering of organisms’ energy sources can negatively impact the biome’s ecosystem. It is important to…

that supported the environment by protecting it from pollutions, war, and other environmental disasters. The Hippie Movement rejected the encounters with mainstream American lifestyles and encouraged the exploration of the environmental thinking of ecology and environmentalism,…

many of them are sold as ornamentals. But certain fern species can create substantial problems and they are herein called “problem ferns”. Pteridium aquilinum (bracken fern) is one of the problem ferns which cause the greatest range of problems on ecology and human welfare. Bracken fern has been described as one of the five most common plants on earth, the most locally intensive and globally extensive. It is a ubiquitous fern belonging to the phylum Pteridophyta and to the family…

of land containing an interesting pattern that affects and is affected by an ecological process of interest that holds life or supports life. Landscape ecology, then, involves the study of these landscape patterns, the interactions among the elements of this pattern, and how these patterns and interactions change over time. Also, landscape ecology involves the study and the application of these well implied principles in the formulation and solving of real-world problems. As it well said “Modern…

Urie Bronfenbrenner ecological system theory, explains how everything in a child’s environment influences how they grow and develop in their entire life span. There are five levels microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem. This Weebly focuses on how the microsystem level can be affect if a child is in a negative environment the child is witnessing in the home. I believe at the mesosytems we can change it by we as teachers working with the families to understand where…

The Political Ecology of Management and Conflict in Tule Lake and Lower Klamath Lake Wildlife 'Refuges. The wildlife refuge complex in the Klamath River Basin is part of a migratory bird wetland habitat system that spans the western seaboard. Wilson (2010) refers to wetlands along the Pacific Coast as “links in a chain” leading the birds from wintering grounds to summer breeding habitats, and back again. It is estimated that three quarters of the birds traveling through this chain make a…

The tragedy of the commons continues to be so popular because it has “…. become part of the conventional wisdom in environmental studies, resource science and policy, economics ecology, and political science and is featured in textbooks…. It has also been used in formulating resource-management…

Concepts of social justice are more frequently applied to natural systems in political ecology (Robbins 2012). Perspectives on wetlands in particular have been instrumental in shaping Tule Lake and Lower Klamath Wildlife Refuge and debates over wetland policy illustrate the difficulties when attempting to quantify or monetize ecosystems (Robertson…
