Is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment, or sourroundings.

Cotanins the combined portions of the planet in which all of life exists , including land, water, and air, or atmoshphere.

A group of organisms so similar to one another that they can breed and produce fertile offspring.

Groups of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area.

Assemblages of different populations that live together in a definded area.

A collection of all the organisms that live in a particualr plac4e, together with their nonliving, or physical, enviromnet .

Organisms that use energy from the environment to fuel assembly of simple inorganic compounds into complex organic molecules.

Organisms that rely on other organisms for their energy and food supply.

When the feeding relationships among the various organisms in an ecosystem from a network of complex interactions.

Each step in food chain or food web.

The total amount of living tissue within a given tropic level.

Biogeochemical Cycles

Elements, chemical compounds, and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to another.

When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that is scarce or cycles very slowly.

The day to day condition of earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.

The average, year-after-year conditions of temperature and precipitation in a particular region.

The natural situation in which heat is retained by this laye4r of greenhouse gases.

The biological influences on organisms within an ecosystem.

Physical, or nonliving, factors the shape ecosystem.

The full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organisms uses those conditions.

Occurs when a population's growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth.

The largest number of individuals of a population that a given environment can support.

Scientific study of human populations.

Demography Transition

Change in a population from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.

The development of highly productive crop strains and the use of modern agricultural techiques to increase yields of food crops.

Resource that can regenerate quickly and that is replaceable.

Harmful material that can enter the biosphere through land, air, or water.

Biological diversity; the sum total of the variety of organism in the biosphere.

Increasing concetration of a harmful substance in organisms at higher trophic levels in a food chain or food web.
