leading to competition. energy conservation all organisms require energy for their growth and development. lack of ecological understanding leads to the over-exploitation of energy resources such as light, nutrition and radiation, leading to its depletion. proper knowledge of ecological requirements prevent...
This ecological speciation can be driven by a variety of factors Ecological speciation specifically refers to the formation of a new species based on ecological changes. The steps of ecological speciation include the following:Types of Speciation Factors that Lead to Speciation Ecological Speciation ...
The ecosystem is made up of biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factor comprises non-living components like sunlight, temperature, water, soil, wind, humidity and radiations. These are the physical and chemical agents that ultimately affects the biotic factors. Biotic factor or components means the...
One of the growing trends within the tourism industry is the growth of ecotourism, which centers on ecological conservation. However, to fully understand this concept, looking at the advantages and disadvantages and some real-world examples of ecotourism in action is essential. Table of Contents: W...
One of the most influential theories that explores environmental factors in psychology is Bronfenbrenner’secological systems theory. According to this theory, a person’s culture, values, and personal development are strongly influenced by their surrounds – orenvironmental factors. ...
What is the definition of an ecosystem? An ecosystem is the collection of biotic and abiotic factors in an area. Biotic factors are living things, such as plants, animals, and bacteria. Abiotic factors are non-living things, such as soil, water, and sunlight. What is an example of an ec...
of as a concept that could help to explain an ecosystem’s stability—that is, its persistence as a particular ecosystem type over time (seeecological resilience). Since then, the concept has changed slightly to incorporate the ecosystem’s abiotic (nonliving) parts; the term has been used by...
(ecological) factors that affect the ecosystem. The biotic components whose biological activity creates an impact on the ecosystem are referred to as thebiotic factors. Theabiotic factors, in turn, include the non-living things and the physical aspects of an ecosystem, such as climate, temperature...
Pyramids of numbers are not very functional as they do not give a clear or true picture of thefood chain. They do not indicate specifically the absolute effects of the geometric,food chain, size factors of specific organisms. Pyramid of Biomass ...
Fossil foraminifera also can be utilized as ecological indicators, but the reconstruction of past environments becomes more and more inaccurate as we go back toward the Cretaceous period, when the group appeared. Here we present three paleoecological examples. The first one concerns the reconstruction...
