Study Notes
Predator-Prey Dynamics
- An increase in predator numbers can lead to a decrease in prey populations if prey fail to reproduce quickly enough.
- This decrease in prey results in heightened competition among predators for food, eventually leading to a decline in predator populations.
Classification of Organism Relationships
- Organism relationships can be categorized into three broad classes.
- Examples include:
- Flowering plants providing food and shelter to pollinators.
- Habitat loss impacting wildlife and contributing to biodiversity decline.
Environmental Impact of Land Clearing
- Slash-and-burn land clearing techniques contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change and causing haze.
Waste Management Challenges
- Excessive consumption generates waste that can lead to significant air, land, and water pollution.
- Burning electronic waste increases electrical consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Conservation Principles
- Conservation involves the protection and preservation of Earth's natural resources, emphasizing sustainable usage aligned with current needs.
Strategies for Environmental Conservation
- Techniques to conserve the environment include utilizing apid principles, such as employing plants, which can reduce nutrient loss from the soil and improve growth conditions.
