Introduction to Ecosystems Ecology. Ecology is the study of organisms and their interaction with the environment. –An organism is any living thing Examples:

Biomes A drought makes vegetation scarce. What is a biome?  Group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms.

Biomes. Tropical Rainforests Physical --- Warm & humid, found near equator, sunlight constant throughout the year Physical --- Warm & humid, found near.

 Marine vs. freshwater Marine – saltwater Freshwater – rivers, lakes, etc.  Photic zone vs. Aphotic zone Photic zone – light penetrates, higher biodiversity.

Biome Notes

Tundra Plants: arctic moss, caribou moss, arctic willow, bearberry Animals: polar bear, caribou, squirrel, penguins, voles, hares Climate: extremely cold Rainfall: less than 10 inches per year Decomposers: moss, lichens, bacteria, fungi

Taiga (Coniferous Forest) Plants: evergreen trees (spruce, hemlock, fir) Animals: hawk, owl, moose, lynx Climate: cold winters, warm humid summers Rainfall: 30 inches per year

Grasslands (North America: Prairie Europe/Asia: Steppe) Plants: tall grasses, very few trees (found around rivers/streams) Animals: bison, prairie chicken, prairie dog, pronghorn Climate: hot summer, cold winters Rainfall: 10-30 inches per year

Grasslands (Africa: Savanna) Plants: elephant grass, bermuda grass, gum tree, jackalberry tree Animals: African elephant, koala bear, lion, crocodiles, zebras Climate: hot all year, rainy summer, dry winter Rainfall: 10-30 inches per year

Deciduous Forest *NC is a deciduous forest! Plants: Pecan trees, white oak trees, carpet moss, lady ferns Animals: white-tailed deer, racoons, black bear, voles Climate: warm summers, mild winters, 4 seasons Rainfall: 30-60 inches per year

Desert Plants: Saguaro cactus, old man cactus, prickly pear cactus Animals: Dingo, fennel fox, gila monster, mouse tailed bat Climate: Hot days, cool nights Rainfall: 10 inches per year

Tropical Rainforest Plants: periwinkle, cinchann tree, banana tree Animals: chimpanzee, bearded pig, flying dragon, indian cobra Climate: hot and humid all year round Rainfall: 80 - 400 inches per year

Freshwater Often small bodies of water (no salt): lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and creeks. Referred to as wetlands – which includes marshes, bogs and freshwater swamps. Plants: green river grasses, water lilies, algae, cattails, duckweed Animals: beavers, frogs, salmon, trout, crabs, raccoons, mosquitos, birds, amphibians

Estuaries Areas where rivers meet the sea—both saltwater and freshwater Plants: smooth cordgrass, seagrass, spike grass, sea lavender, purple loosestrife, Animals: shore birds, fish, crabs, lobsters, clams, shellfish, marine worms, reptiles

Marine This saltwater biome covers ¾ of the Earth’s surface. The Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Artic, and Southern oceans are all marine biomes! Coral Reefs are part of the Marine ecosystem. Plants: seaweed, phytoplankton, marine algae, kelp Animals: salmon, plankton, dolphins, sharks, coral
