Lesson 3 Unit 1 Ecology & the Environment

FEBRUARY 18, 2015 WARM UP: You need your ISN and textbook.

IV. Limiting Factors A. What are they? 1. There are two rules of population ecology a. All populations are capable of exponential growth b. None do 2.

Ecology Vocabulary Review Get out vocab sheet. Ecology: The study of how living things interact with nature.

 Population - an interbreeding group of individuals of a single species that occupy the same general area.  Community- interacting populations that.

Insert a picture of your ecosystem and record the description with a microphone.

5.1 Habitats and Niches Ecosystems *Large systems *Cover many miles

Do now 1.Describe the ecosystem of Easter Island. 2.What are some factors that limited how many people can live on Easter Island?

Levels of Organization in Ecology  What is the correct level of organization (Think back to the card activity from our previous class.)?  atom  molecule.

UNDERSTANDING POPULATIONS.  Members of the same species (reproduce with one another)  Live in the same place (Geographic location)  Live at the same.

Interactions of Living things

LIMITING FACTOR NOTES. HABITAT Habitat - type of environment in which a particular species lives Habitat - type of environment in which a particular species.

ECOLOGISTS STUDY ENVIRONMENTS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION. Population Ecology Organism  Population  Community  Ecosystem  Biome.

Population Dynamics And Evidence for Evolution. Outline how population size is affected by natality, immigration, mortality and emigration Population.

Organism. An individual animal, plant, or single- celled life form.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 List as many limiting factors that you can think of. Remember your Yoo Hoo Caribou graph is due tomorrow. Short TEST tomorrow over biotic.

What makes up an ecosystem?  Biotic factors  Plants  Animals  Bacteria  Etc.  Abiotic factors  Water  Light  Temperature  Soil.

ECOSYSTEM ORGANIZATION And POPULATIONS OVERVIEW. Ecosystem Organization Population is the number of individuals of the same species in the same place.

Presentation transcript:

Carrying Capacity Ecosystems have carrying capacities, which are limits to the numbers of organisms and populations they can support These limits can result from such factors as: -food, space, and water -availability of living resources -availability of nonliving resources -predation -competition -disease

Carrying Capacity -organisms would have the ability to produce populations of great size if it were not for the fact that environments and resources are limited -this fundamental tension affects the abundance (number of individuals) of species in any given ecosystem

Carrying Capacity

Human Carrying Capacity Directions: -Draw 4 pictures that show why more people don’t live in the area where you live -Explain how each picture shows why more people don’t live in your area
