TEKS(10) Organisms and environments. The student knows that there is a relationship between organisms and the environment. The student is expected to:• 7.10A observe and describe how different
environments, including microhabitats in schoolyards and biomes, support different varieties of organisms;
• 7.10B describe how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem; and
• 7.10C observe, record, and describe the role of ecological succession such as in a microhabitat of a garden with weeds.

What is a biome and what abiotic factors characterize each biome?
A biome is a large area that has similar weather and organisms. Abiotic factors include elevation,
climate, temperature, and precipitation.

Biological DiversityAKA… Biodiversity
Variety of organisms in an area• More Biodiversity = healthy or stable
ecosystem, like Tropical Rainforest or ocean• Less Biodiversity = unstable or fragile
ecosystem, like Tundra

Partner Discussion
• How might the biodiversity of the populations in a habitat affect organism interdependency?
• Biological interactions are the interactions between different organisms in an environment. In the natural world, no organism is cut off from its surroundings. Organisms are a part of their environment which is rich in living and non-living elements that interact with each other in some way.

Sustainability• Stable ecosystem that can survive and thrive
on its own• Variety of plants and animals (biodiversity)

Limiting Factor• Anything that restricts the number of
individuals in a population to grow. (Food, Space, shelter, water)–Running out of space for nesting
limits the birds from reproducing.

• Eastern U.S., Russia, Japan, New Zealand, Southeastern Australia
• 4 distinct seasons• Deciduous trees (have leaves that change color that they lose in the Fall)
• Lots of decomposition on forest floor: insect diversity

freshwater (river) and saltwater (ocean)

Native Species• A species is specific group of plant or animal
that can reproduce similar offspring.• Native Species are plants and animals that
naturally lives in a particular area.• Invasive Species – (nonnative) introduced
into an environment by people (alien)

Invasive SpeciesInvasive Species – These species are introduced into an environment by people• AKA – nonnative, nonindigenous, alien, exotic• No natural predators, so it often
grows/spreads/reproduces quickly• When an invasive species takes over, native species
die.• Examples: Zebra Mussels, Pest, Weeds

Ecological Succession• gradual replacement of
populations in an area (how barren land changes into a forest if left alone)

Climax Communities• Stable stage of ecological
succession• Equilibrium• Forest
–Trees–Large animals

Primary Succession• Begins in a place without any soil.
(After a volcanic eruption, or a glacier receding)
• Pioneer Species (arrive first) – living things that do not need soil to survive, they can survive in extreme conditions and start the soil-building process. Examples - Lichens and Moss.

Secondary Succession• Begins in a place that already has SOIL
and was once the home of living organisms
• Normally occurs after a wildfire, flood, deforestation, or construction.
• Pioneer species are grasses and small shrubs.
