What does S.P.I.C.E.S.S stand for

Space, Place, Interconnection, Change, Environment, Sustainability, and Scale

Physical location and attributes.

What does INTERCONECTION mean

The concept that nothing on earth exists in isolation. All environments and every living and non-living thing are connected.

What does CHANGE mean

A difference appearing over time

What does ENVIRONMENT mean

The living and non-living components and elements that make up areas and the ways they are organised into am system.

What does SUSTAINABILITY mean

The ongoing capacity of the Earth to maintain life and the management of resources to keep the capacity steady into the future.

The area of an area in comparison to another

A major community of plants and animals with similar life forms and environmental conditions.

Give an example of SCALE

What is intensive farming

A large amount of product produced per hectare

What is extensive farming

A smaller amount of product produced per hectare

How does farming change vegetation

Plants from an area are removed and replaced in the process of farming. 5 million hectares of forest converted every year. Most takes place in South America and Africa. 50 million hectares have been cleared in Australia since English colonization.

How does farming change water

70% of water supply used for agriculture. Farming process can change the quality of the water significantly. Fertilizers can end up in lakes and rivers, leaving algae out of control. Dams lower the volume of water in rivers and lakes.

How does farming change soil

Soils are being degraded and the amount of food that can be grown is on a decline. Estimated 2 billion hectares effected. Caused by, Clearing forests, Density of farm animals, Over farming. Increased salinity content in soil can cause it to be unusable.

Give an example of extensive farming

Pasture for livestock suck as sheep and cattle
