In this assignment, you will investigate the biotic and abiotic structure and function of an ecosystem. Choose 1 of the following ecosystems: * Tropical rainforest * Grassland * Coral reef * Estuary * Desert You will prepare a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation (not including the title or reference slides) and include a minimum of 3 images about your choice of ecosystem, covering the following in your presentation: * Where might this type of ecosystem be located? Give

and population growth. Abiotic factors like water, temperature, and light can change the population but biotic factors like plants or other organisms can alter it also. If change within an environment happens then change to the organisms within the environment will happen as well (Elzinga, 2004). Abiotic Factors Abiotic factors are non- living components like water, temperature, and light. A rapid increase or decrease in any of these factors would have an

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

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

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

plants and animals we’ve seen up there make up the biotic factors for this environment. There are a number of different species of trees and flowering plants around my parent’s cabin and the outlying trails we go exploring on. Even though there are a number of cabins up here, they haven’t really disturbed the environment to the point that it’s affected the number of different creatures that still wander through the woods. Besides all of the wonderful biotic factors we so enjoy up here there are also a

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:

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
