ORGANIZATION LEVELS

• Biosphere-Regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth occupied by living organisms.
• Biome-A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a forest or tundra.
• Ecosystem-A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
• Community- A group of interdependent organisms of different species growing or living together in a specified habitat.
• Population-all the inhabitants of a particular town, area, or country.

ORGANIZATION LEVELS

• Organism-an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.

HIPPO
H-Habitat Loss-The process by which natural habitat is damaged or destroyed to such an extent that it no longer is capable of supporting the species and ecological communities that naturally occur there. Ex.-Habitat destruction occurs when the conditions necessary for plants and animals to survive are significantly compromised or eliminated.
(Ongoing efforts to safeguard ocean habitats include the creation of gigantic marine sanctuaries where development is curtailed and fishing is prohibited.)

HIPPO
I-Invasive Species- Are a major threat to the enviorment. Ex.-Since humans first took to the seas, though, intrepid stowaways have had ever expanding vehicles for dispersing themselves both faster and farther. The result is an increasing number of ocean ecosystems, primarily near shorelines, that are being compromised or wiped out by non-native species.

HIPPO
P-Pollution-Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Ex.-Sources of pollution in saltwater include runoffs from land-based activities, vessel discharge, dumping and invasive species.

HIPPO
O-Overharvesting/Overuse-Over harvesting is an extreme use of some important areas like wetlands that damages them to the detriment of other animals, including humans. Ex.-These conflicts occur over both freshwater and saltwater, and between international boundaries. However, conflicts occur mostly over freshwater; because freshwater resources are necessary, yet limited, they are the center of water disputes arising out of need for potable water.

Succession
Primary Succession-Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and usually lacking soil. Ex.-The lava flows into the ocean.

Succession
Secondary Succession-Is a much more rapid process than primary succession because the soil and nutrients are already available. Ex.- One of the best examples is the process wherein wildfire destroys a forest cover, which is eventually replaced by new species of plants. The high nutrition content of soil which facilitates the growth of new plants is attributed to the remains of plants burnt during the wildfire.

Succession
Climax Succession-Biological community of plants and animals and fungi which, through the process of ecological succession. Ex.-The development of vegetation in an area over time — had reached a steady state.
