Some basic, important information about aquatic ecosystems is that there are two types:marine ecosystemsandfreshwater ecosystems. The main difference between these two types of aquatic ecosystems is thesalinity(saltiness) of the water present in the ecosystem. The amount of salt in water greatly impac...
The Earth has several regions that can share common climactic and biological characteristics. These regions are called biomes. Grasslands are one type of biome, characterized by a lack of trees, but still abundant vegetation and animal life. Plants and animals and other living organisms are the bi...
What are some examples of community ecology? What are three examples of each of the following: A) decomposers, B) producers, C) consumers, D) carnivores, E) omnivores, and F) herbivores? What are the two main categories of ecosystems?
This protocol presents the methodology that will be used in a systematic review on the effects of herbivore diversity on different processes, functions and properties of tundra ecosystems. This systematic review builds on an earlier systematic map on herbivory studies in the Arctic that identified a ...

Ecosystems can be huge, with many hundreds of differentanimals and plantsall living in a delicate balance, or they could be relatively small. In particularly harsh places in the world, such as the North and South Poles, the ecosystems are relatively simple because only a few types of creatures...
Types of Ecosystem There are basically three types of ecosystems under which any other sub-ecosystem falls. They are: Terrestrial Ecosystem Freshwater Ecosystem Ocean Ecosystem Let’s have a deeper look at each of the ecosystems. Terrestrial Ecosystems ...
Environmental issues result from a combination of natural causes and human impact. While the Earth's ecosystems are designed to handle certain amounts of natural disturbances (such as forest fires and floods), human activities can create circumstances in which they happen with greater frequency or ...
What are endothermic animals? Keeping Warm All life on Earth can only survive in a range of temperatures, sometimes so narrow that life cannot live outside of very select areas. Some animals, however, do not rely fully on the climate about them for their survival. ...
Tundra Biome Tundra – treeless plains with cold temperatures Most freshwater comes from melting snow/ice rather than precipitation Location Examples: Alaska, Canada, Russia Nearly all tundras are located in the Northern Hemisphere Tundra Biome Soil – permafrost in winter, short growing season once ...
