Conservation
- Conservation aims to preserve and protect natural resources for future generations while promoting sustainable development and maintaining biodiversity and ecological integrity.
Ecology
- Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment, encompassing biotic and abiotic factors.
- Ecosystems consist of communities of living and non-living components, with energy flowing through producers, consumers, and decomposers.
- Nutrient cycling involves the circulation of essential elements like water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.
- Population dynamics involve growth, decline, migration, and other changes in populations over time.
- Community ecology examines species interactions, including competition and predation.
Biomes
- Biomes are large, naturally occurring communities of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat, characterized by distinct climate, vegetation, soil, and fauna.
- Terrestrial biomes include deserts, grasslands, tropical rainforests, temperate rainforests, temperate deciduous forests, and boreal forests (taiga).
- Freshwater biomes comprise rivers, lakes, and wetlands.
- Marine biomes encompass coral reefs, estuaries, open ocean, and deep-sea trenches.
- Biomes are not strictly defined and can blend together, with human activities capable of altering them through deforestation, pollution, and climate change.
