Ecology

Ecology is the scientific analysis and study of interactions among organisms and their environment
Put

individual organisms together, they can interact with each other and their environments to create something larger than the sum of this parts

Population

Population is a summation of all the organisms of the same group or species, which

live in a particular geographical area, and have the capability of interbreeding
Density of population:
born and immigration (+)
death and emigration (-)
dispersion
fecundity

Population growth Carrying capacity of habitat is the maximum population size

Population growth

Carrying capacity of habitat is the maximum population size of

the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment

Community

Community (biocenosis) is an assemblage or association of populations of two or more different species

occupying the same geographical area and in a particular time.

Interspecific interactions Predation – the predator species benefits while the prey

Interspecific interactions

Predation – the predator species benefits while the prey species

is harmed (+/-)
Competition – species can compete with each other for finite resources
Mutualism – interaction in which both species benefit (+/+)
Parasitism – one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host (+/-)
Commensalism – one organism benefits while the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed (+/0)
Amensalism – a product of one organism has a negative effect on another organism (+/-)

Community ecology

Community ecology studies how the interactions between community members and

their environment affect how much of each species there are within a community

Ecosystem An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction

Ecosystem

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment

(things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system
Ecosystem ecology explores how energy and materials flow through an ecosystem, and how the physical environment impacts the living organisms
A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism. Habitat provides area (living or non-living)

Food chain

Food chain is a succession of organisms in an ecological community that are linked to each other through the transfer of energy and nutrients
Producers
Consumers:
primary (herbivorous)
secondary (carnivorous)
tertiary
final
Decomposers

(Detritivores)

Biomass is the mass of living biological organisms in a

given area or ecosystem at a given time
Ecosystem productivity is the rate of generation of biomass in an ecosystem
Ecosystem efficiency describes the efficiency with which energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next

productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem

Biome

A biome is a formation of plants and animals that have common characteristics due to similar climates

and can be found over a range of continents
Usually a biome is named after its predominant vegetation association:
grassland
rainforests
tundra

Biome vs Ecosystem

 A biome encompasses numerous smaller-scale ecosystems and is general

and global
A biome is the biotic community of a large-scale ecosystem, the abiotic components are implied as the shaping factors of a biome
Слайд 24

Shaping factors Extreme (high, low), moderate: Water (rainfall, precipitation) Temperature (sunlight, air, ocean flows)

Extreme (high, low), moderate:

Biosphere

The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems
The living organisms are affected by

both biotic and abiotic factors they live within
In their turn, they change the environment: climate, chemical makeup, geology of our planet
