Explain what the term "non-native species" means and why it is such a problem in an ecosystem. Discuss two areas where the introduction of a non-native organism has created problems for the ecosystem. What was the organism, ...
concept mapsThe theory of evolution can be a useful basis for developing students' understanding of ecology. Our study used concept maps to examine the development of sixth-grade students' understanding of the Antarctic ecosystem following several evolution 'Science Days' conducted at 'Nature Campus'...
The relationship between plant productivity and species richness is one of the most debated and important issues in ecology. Ecologists have found numerous forms of this relationship and its underlying processes. However, theories and proposed drivers have been insufficient to completely explain the obser...

Answer to: Explain how we can apply the six principles of sustainability to the problems of air pollution, climate change, and ozone depletion. By...
Recently, researchers have attempted to address this issue using plant functional traits and promoted the development of trait-based ecology (Aerts and Honnay, 2011, Garnier et al., 2004, Jax, 2005, Lavorel and Garnier, 2002, Li et al., 2020, Naeem and Wright, 2003). Plant functional ...

The Soil Association (a leading UK promoter of organic farming) sums up this positive vision: "Organic farmers take a holistic, principled approach that respects and harnesses the power of natural processes to build positive health across the ecology of the farm." [1]...
A little later, with the occurrence of the ecosystem concept soon followed by ecological genetics, the calls were voiced that Darwinism should also incorporate the latest progress in the field of ecology. Unfortunately, this project has never been properly implemented. The author of this monograph ...
Indicates that the work is related to cosmic anthropoecology and outlines aspects of the research. Based on the hypothesis of the physical function of living structures that belong to the ecosystem of the Earth a new concept is introduced. The research is at present presented as "purely ...
