can ______________ if they are alive OR can be replenished by __________________________ if they are non-living regenerate biogeochemical cycles RENEWABLE RESOURCES http://www.inclusive.co.uk/downloads/images/pics2/tree.gif http://www.navitron.org.uk/wind/600kw.JPG

“Renewable” depends on context Ex: An _________tree can be re-grown, but a __________ of trees in an ecosystem may NOT be replaceable RENEWABLE RESOURCES http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/gallery/2002/08/30/deforestedland.jpg individual population
5
“Renewable” depends on context Ex: “_____________” forests provide a unique _______ and are home to many species that don’t live in other types of forests RENEWABLE RESOURCES http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_growth_forest Old growth habitat
6
Renewable does NOT mean __________________ Ex: ______________ is a renewable resource but can become limited by drought or overuse unlimited Fresh water NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES http://earth.ooups.com/uk/images/100/tapwater.jpg http://www.wrightwoodcalif.com/watershort/ConserveWater.JPG

can ___________________________ by natural processes NOT BE replenished NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/image_full/international/photosvideos/photos/illegal-deforestation-and-land.jpg http://www.npr.org/news/images/2005/aug/16/pumping_gas200.jpg

___________________ can affect the quality and supply of renewable resources such as _______________________________ How can we provide for our needs while maintaining ecosystem goods and services that are renewable? land, forests, fisheries, air, and fresh water THE BIG QUESTION ? HUMAN ACTIVITIES
9
= ____________________________ It’s a way of _________ natural resources __________________ them and providing for human needs WITHOUT causing long term __________________ SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT One ANSWER to ? using without depleting environmental harm
10
A __________________ is anything an organism needs for life RESOURCE REMEMBER NATURAL RESOURCES = LAND AIRFORESTSWATER http://www.lenntech.com/images/discharge.gif http://www.newtonswindow.com/problem-solving.htm http://coweeta.ecology.uga.edu/coweeta_photographs/erosion.htm
11
Provide _________ for human communities Provide _____________ for industry LAND RESOURCES space raw materials http://www.fotogalerie-naturpur.de/pic/land1.html http://lloydsfunds.com/mining_12.jpg
12
LAND RESOURCES Land resources include __________ which is a ______________ resource if managed properly. ____________is made of sand, clay, rock, and _________(decayed organisms) and is produced and maintained by interactions between soil and plants growing in it. SOIL renewable humus TOPSOIL
13
LAND RESOURCES Wearing away of topsoil = ____________ is caused by plowing land and removing plant roots Soil erosion http://coweeta.ecology.uga.edu/coweeta_photographs/erosion.htm
14
LAND RESOURCES ___________________ = changing of fertile land in dry climates into desert areas caused by farming, overgrazing, and drought Desertification http://www.the-human-race.com/images/environment/drought.jpg
15
Cover Crops Legumes, grasses, and other cover crops recycle soil nutrients, reduce fertilizer need, and prevent weed growth. Controlled Grazing By managing graze periods and herd densities, farmers can improve nutrient cycling, increase the effectiveness of precipitation, and increase the carrying capacity of pastures. Biological Pest Control The use of predators and parasites to control destructive insects minimizes pesticide use as well as crop damage Contour Plowing Contour plowing reduces soil erosion from land runoff. On hilly areas, plowing is done across the hill rather than straight up and down. Crop Rotation Different crops use and replenish different nutrients. By rotating crops, the loss of important plant nutrients is decreased. ABC Yr. 1 Yr. 2 Yr. 3 Section 6-4 corn alfalfa oats alfalfa (plowed in) Sustainable Agriculture
16
Provide _________ for products ranging from homes to paper Wood provides _________ in many countries FOREST RESOURCES wood fuel http://www.nature.org/images/sotw_logging.jpg http://www.forestlearn.org/graphics/wood_fuel.jpg
17
Forests have been called the “lungs of the Earth” because they remove ________________ and produce ______________ FOREST RESOURCES carbon dioxide oxygen http://www.ecoworld.com/air/Images/Photosynthesis.jpg
18
Forests also: ________________ FOREST RESOURCES store nutrients provide habitats http://www.gdccc.org/Records/EOY2004/NS%20Salon%20HM%20Brittain%20Roger%20Owl%20in%20Hole%20No%202.jpg moderate climate prevent soil erosion protect fresh water
19
“Renewable” depends on context Many forests in USA have been logged at least once and have grown back naturally. _______________ forests have never been cut. It takes centuries to replace these and species may be lost. http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/gallery/2002/08/30/deforestedland.jpg OLD GROWTH
20
FOREST RESOURCES Loss of forests = ____________ can result in erosion and loss of nutrients preventing regrowth deforestation http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/image_full/international/photosvideos/photos/illegal-deforestation-and-land.jpg
21
HOW DO WE HELP? Sustainable development: selective harvest of mature trees replanting of logged areas tree farms breeding new, faster growing species
22
______________ = harmful material that can enter the biosphere through land, air, or water _________ = Mixture of chemicals that appear as a gray-brown haze in the atmosphere AIR RESOURCES Pollutant smog http://www.cyberolimpiadas.com.sv/proyectos2004/gamma/proyecto3/smog.jpg
23
Burning __________ releases pollutants that cause smog and other problems in atmosphere. Toxic chemicals like nitrates, sulfates, and particulates can cause ________________ like ___________ AIR RESOURCES http://www.cyberolimpiadas.com.sv/proyectos2004/gamma/proyecto3/smog.jpg fossil fuels breathing problems asthma
