    Ecology

    • Ecology is the study of the relation between plants and animals and their inorganic physical environment and culture.
    • The term "oikos" is Greek for "house".

    Geography

    • Geography is the study of the Earth's surface and its relation to man.
    • The term "geographia" is Greek for "Earth's description".

    Ecosystem

    • An ecosystem is an interacting system between a community and its habitat.
    • A system is a collection of parts and events that are interdependent.
    • There are three types of systems: open, cybernetic, and ecological.

    Population and Biomes

    • A population is a group of the same species that interbreed.
    • Biomes are major regional groupings of plants and animals.

    Organism and Habitat

    • An organism is a contiguous living system.
    • A habitat is the environment where a known species occurs.
    • Environment refers to the physical and chemical surroundings of an organism.

    Types of Ecosystems

    • Tundra: near polar region
    • Taiga: below tundra
    • Chaparral: coastal
    • Savanna: grassland

    Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

    • Evaluates the impact of a project on the environment.
    • Environmental Critical Project (ECP) has a negative impact on the environment.
    • Certificate of Non-Coverage is not covered by EIA and does not require an ECC.

    Anaerobic and Aerobic Organisms

    • Anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen.
    • Physiological study of functions of living systems.
    • Ethology: the study of animal behavior.

    Community and Niche

    • A community is different populations living in an area.
    • Grazing: one species uses a part of another as food.
    • Detritus: remains.
    • Niche: functional role of an organism.

    Water Ecosystems

    • Lotic: running water
    • Lentic: stagnant water
    • Limnology: study of freshwater

    Energy Pyramid

    • Reduces up to 10% on each stage up.

    Coastal Zones

    • Supratidal: high tide
    • Intertidal: mid
    • Subtidal: low tide

    Behavioral Geography

    • Study of human behavior and its cognitive processes in response to its environment.

    Climatology and Meteorology

    • Study to understand the physical effects of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere.

    Terrestrial Ecosystem

    • Terrestrial ecosystem has the largest biomes.

    Actions and Interactions

    • Actions: environment acts upon the organism (temperature, wind, light).
    • Interaction: organism reaction to the environment (pollution).
    • Co-action: effect of organisms' action to the other (predation, competition).

    Laws and Regulations

    • PD 984: Pollution Control Law of 1976
    • PD 1151: Environmental Impact Assessment for covered projects of 1977
    • PD 1586: Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System of 1978

    Certificates and Ratings

    • Certificate of Conformity: issued by DENR to vehicle manufacturers
    • Eco-Profile: geographic instrument for planning and decision-making which presents the quality and carrying capacity of an area.
    • LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (rating system)

    Atmospheric Issues

    • Carbon Cycle: combustion of vehicles and industries
    • Transpiration: water from plants and soil to the air
    • Ozone Hole: Montreal Protocol of 1987
