Effects on the gas exchange of Chylamydomonas under controlled conditions Introduction: Is gas availability a limiting factor for algae growth this spring in the Louisiana State University (LSU) lake system? For three weeks, we observed the effect that changes in gas availability had on the rate of algae growth in the LSU Lake System to determine the optimal growth of Chlamydomonas. To study the effect that temperature had on the Chlamydomonas population, we compared three different environments:

The Great Barrier Reef Ecosystem Biotic, Abiotic and Human The ecosystem I have selected to review is that of the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is located in north eastern Australia off the coast of Queensland. It's a nearly 2,000 kilometer long natural wonderland of coral and sea life. A natural coral reef is a very fragile environment with many biotic and abiotic components working in a perfect harmony. Because of this balance, reefs are susceptible to natural variances, outside

American Alligator’s main food source comes from various species of fish and birds. The Tortoise and rabbits live on the same terrain in which they live in harmony. The biotic factors of Biolando consist of various plants and trees such as Mangroves. Species such as Alligators, Turtles, Fish, Bird species, and Tortoises fall under the biotic factor category also. Abiotic factors in Biolando consist of forest fires which occur naturally and which can cause great harm to the environment of Biolando. Rain

biological community in which locale, physical, and chemical factors play a major role in the make-up of the biotic and abiotic environment. They can range from ponds, forests, estuaries, or grasslands. Some ecosystems are more complex than others depending on where they are located. Some have similar characteristics and some are different in many ways such as the abiotic and biotic components or the region it is located in. Grasslands for example have different names because of the region they are

1. BIOTIC INTERACTIONS IN THIS MANGROVE COMMUNITY The biotic interactions within a mangrove ecosystem are defined as the interaction between living biological factors (“Encyclopaedia of Earth, 2013”). The interactions between biotic factors create various relationships including; parasitic, mutualistic, predation and competitive relationships (“Abiotic and Biotic Influences On An Ecosystem, 2013”). One of the most fundamental biotic factors within a mangrove

theme going from the discussion board 2 assignment I decided to research and write about the Tropical Rainforest. I have always found the world’s rainforests to be very interesting with all of their secrets they hold inside of them. By doing this paper it will allow me to discover more in-depth information on the Tropical Rainforests. I wonder what all I will discover? There are many rainforests in the world but can be found only in three major geographical areas around the world. The one that stands

1.1 Read the provided paper from the primary literature that discusses the effect of habitat edges (edge effects), or forest fragmentation on the ecology or diversity of a species. Briefly summarize the paper, paraphrasing each of the components listed in the Assignment Questions. (6 marks) The forest edge structure has been researched and has been found that it greatly affects the microclimate, but the data from previous experiments was strictly focused on ground distance from edge and did not take
