Ecological Organization01:26

Ecological Organization

Ecological OrganizationEcological organization refers to the hierarchical structure of ecosystems, which organizes life from individual organisms to the entire biosphere. The levels of ecological organization include organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere. Each level represents increasing complexity, showcasing how living organisms interact with each other and with their environment to maintain ecological balance.Science and Engineering Practices (SEP): Analyzing and...
Primary Production01:06

Primary Production

The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.

Keystone Species01:39

Keystone Species

Measures of species biodiversity, such as richness (i.e., the number of species present) and evenness (i.e., their relative abundance), describe an ecological community’s structure. Many factors affect community structure, including abiotic factors (e.g., sunlight and nutrients), disturbances (e.g., fire or flood), species interactions (e.g., predation or competition), and chance events (e.g., foreign species invasion). Certain species—such as keystone species—also play a...

Aquatic Biomes01:28

Aquatic Biomes

Aquatic BiomeAquatic biomes are ecosystems found in water environments, including freshwater and marine systems. These biomes are classified based on salinity, water depth, temperature, and flow. Major types include rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, coral reefs, and oceans. Aquatic biomes are vital for life on Earth as they support biodiversity, regulate climate, and provide resources like food and oxygen. Each biome is uniquely adapted to support species suited to water-based conditions,...
