Study Notes
- The following study notes cover a range of topics related to the environment and ecosystems, including their components, human impact, and ecological studies
Medio Ambiente (Environment)
- The environment encompasses both natural and cultural components
- Natural components are:
- Climate
- Geography
- Fauna
- Flora
- Cultural components are:
- Objects made by humans
- Socioeconomic activities
Actividades Humanas y el Ambiente (Human Activities and the Environment)
- Consequences of human activities on the environment include:
- Extinction of species
- Water contamination
- Displacement of animal and human populations due to habitat destruction
EcologÃa (Ecology)
- Ecology studies the relationship between living beings and the environment
Ecosistema (Ecosystem)
- An ecosystem is defined as the physical environment where living beings live and the relationships they establish among themselves and with their environment
- It comprises a set of living beings that inhabit a part of the biosphere
Componentes del Ecosistema (Ecosystem Components)
- The two main components of an ecosystem are:
- Biotopo
- Biocenosis
Biotopo
- The biotopo's components are:
- Physical environment of the ecosystem
- Environmental conditions of the ecosystem
- The term "topo" in biotopo relates to topography
Cuadro Sinóptico del Ecosistema (Ecosystem Synoptic Chart)
- In the synoptic chart, an ecosystem represents the sum of its components and their relationships
Medio FÃsico del Biotopo (Physical Environment of the Biotope)
- The physical environment of the biotope is where the living beings of an ecosystem reside
- Matter and energy are exchanged in this environment
- The two types of physical environments are:
- Aquatic
- Terrestrial
Condiciones Ambientales del Biotopo (Environmental Conditions of the Biotope)
- The environmental conditions of a biotope involve function
- Abiotic factors, which are chemical and physical factors, determine the environmental conditions of the biotope
Factores Abióticos (Abiotic Factors)
- Abiotic factors, with their respective functions within an ecosystem, include:
- Light: the main source of energy for ecosystems, allowing photosynthetic organisms to exist
- Water: involved in the water cycle
- Temperature: determines which species inhabit an ecosystem
- Wind: air in movement
- Atmospheric pressure: The force exerted by the weight of air in an area
