Scientist who study ecology are called Ecologists.
Ecologist travel the world and study organisms in their environment and compile research on how they affect each other and how their environment affects the organisms.

There are many branches of ecology. Some include: • Habitat ecology• Community ecology• Population ecology• Evolutionary ecology• Taxonomic ecology• Human ecology• Applied ecology• Ecosystem dynamics
And there are many more!

The Biosphere
![Page 10: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Biosphere is the portion of earth that supports life.
The term bio means “Life”.
![Page 11: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
•The biosphere forms a thin layer around the earth.
•It extends several kilometers above earths surface into the atmosphere and extends several kilometers below the ocean’s surface to the deep ocean vents.
![Page 12: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
It includes landmasses, bodies
of freshwater & saltwater, and
locations below the earths surface that
support life.

Biotic factors
The living factors in an organisms environment are called Biotic factors.
![Page 16: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• The biotic factors include all of the organisms that live in the forest. Whether it
be on land or in water.
• Ranging from the algae to the birds that migrate through the area.
![Page 17: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Abiotic Factors
The nonliving factors in an organisms environment are called Abiotic factors.
![Page 18: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
These factors include temperature, air or water currents, sunlight, soil type, rainfall, or available nutrients.
![Page 19: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Organisms depend on abiotic factors for survival.
Abiotic factors important to a plant are rainfall, amount of sunlight, the type of soil its planted in, the temperature, and the nutrients available in the soil.
![Page 20: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Yesterday we talked about what makes up the biosphere.
Today we will be disusing how the Biosphere is way to large and complex to study as a
whole. So scientist have adopted to study the different levels of organization within the biosphere to get an understanding of the
biosphere as a whole.

A Habitat is an area where an organism lives.
![Page 33: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A niche is the role or position that an organism has in its environment.
•How it meets its needs for food, shelter, and reproduction.
![Page 34: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Community interactions

Organisms that live together in a biological community are constantly interacting with each other. It is these interactions along with abiotic factors that shape their ecosystem.
![Page 36: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
These interactions can include competition for food, shelter, and potential mates. Even so, some organisms depend on each other for survival.
![Page 37: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Competition •Competition occurs when more than one organism uses the same resource at the same time.
•These resources may include food, water, space, and light.
•As strong organisms directly compete with weak organisms, only the strong survive and others die off.
![Page 38: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Predation•The act of one organism pursuing and consuming another organism for food. •Organism that pursues another organism is called the predator and the organism that is pursued is called the prey.
![Page 39: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Symbiotic RelationshipsThe close relationship that exist when two or more species live together is called symbiosis.
*There are three different types of symbiosis.
![Page 40: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1. Mutualism•A relationship between two or more organisms that live closely together and benefit from one another.
Example: Bees and flowers.
![Page 41: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
2. Commensalism •A relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed in the process.
Example: clown fish and sea anemones.
![Page 42: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
3. Parasitism• symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits at the expense of another organism.
Example: flee or tick, bacteria, tapeworm, heartworm, etc.

Energy in an Ecosystem•An autotroph is an organism that collects energy from sunlight or inorganic substances to produce food. Photosynthesizing organismsAlso called primary producers
![Page 45: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
•A heterotroph is an organism that gets its energy requirements by consuming other organisms. (Also called consumers)
•Heterotrophs that only eats plants are called Herbivores. Primary consumers
![Page 46: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Heterotrophs that prey on other heterotrophs are called Carnivores. Secondary consumers.
![Page 47: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Animals that mostly eat secondary consumers are called Tertiary consumers.
![Page 48: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Organisms that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores.
![Page 49: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
•Detritivores are organism that eat fragments of dead matter in an ecosystem, returning nutrients to the soil, air and water where the nutrients can be reused by organisms. •Decomposers are similar to detritivores.
![Page 50: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
•Decomposers are the primary method and tool to break down organic compounds and make nutrients available to producers to reuse.
Without them none of this would happen and nutrients would not be recycled.

Models of Energy Flow
![Page 52: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Food webs and food chains are used by ecologist to model energy flow through an ecosystem.
![Page 53: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Each step of the food chain or food web is called a trophic level.
![Page 54: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Autotrophs make up the first trophic level in all ecosystems and heterotrophs make up the remaining levels.
Disregarding the first level, organisms at each level get their energy from organisms in the level before it.
![Page 55: Chapter 2: Principles of ecologymsguirandbiology.weebly.com/uploads/8/5/7/3/85738484/...Ecology The scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and their](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b3532d9463d1c5e67e5b6/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
A food chain is a simple model that shows how energy in an ecosystem flows
• Arrows represent one way energy flow which typically starts with producers to consumers.

Pyramid of Energy
Each level represents the amount of energy that is available to that trophic level. With each step there is a loss of 90%.

Pyramid of BiomassEach level represents the amount of biomass consumed by the level above it.
Amount of biomass is the total mass of living matter.

Pyramid of Numbers
Each level represents the number of individual organisms consumed by the level above it.

All living organisms rely on freshwater for survival.
•Fresh water constitutes about 3% of all water on earth.
•Water available for living organisms is about 31% of all freshwater.
•The remaining 69% of all freshwater is frozen and found in ice caps and glaciers.

•Water is constantly being evaporatedinto the atmosphere from bodies of water, soil, and organisms.
• Water in the atmosphere is called water vapor.

•Water vapor rises and begins to cool in the atmosphere.
•Clouds form when the cooling water vapor condenses into the droplets around dust particles in the atmosphere.

•Water falls from the sky as precipitation in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail, transferring that water to the earths surface.
•Ground water and run off then flow into streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, where they will evaporate again and continue the cycle.

About 90% of water vapor evaporates from oceans, lakes, and rivers.
10% from surface of plants through a process known as transpiration.
