5. Abiotic Factor: Any non living factor in the environment that affect living organisms. . (Wind,
Temperature, Light, Fire, Snow, Cloud cover etc)
Adaptation: a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better
suited to its environment.
Biotic Factor: Living factors in the environment. Plants, animals, fungi, protist and bacteria and other
factors like competition, disease, and overpopulation are all biotic factors
Biodiversity: The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.
Biome: Areas on the earth with similar temperature, rainfall, soil, ex: Desert, tundra, tiaga,
rainforest)
Carnivore: An organism that gets energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly
from animal tissue, whether through predation or scavenging.
Carrying Capacity: The maximum number of individuals of a given species that can be supported in
an area…. sustainably . "
Competition: Competition is also a situation in which the various organisms living in the same area
try to compete for a limited supply of food, water, space, etc.
Consumer : A organisms that eat food produced by another organism. (Ex: Rabbit eating grass)
Ecosystems and Ecology Definitions 1
jschmied©2016
6. Decomposers Organisms that get energy by breaking down dead plant and animal material and wastes.
The decayed matter is then released as energy and nutrients into the ecosystem for recycling.
Ecology: The study of the relationships between organisms and their environment. Sometimes called
the “Study of what goes on in our House”
Ecological Relationships: The relationships between organisms within an ecosystem. All organisms in
an ecosystem are connected. Each population interacts with one another in a complex web of relations.
Ecosystem: A biological system consisting of all the living organisms or living factors (biotic) in an area
and the nonliving factors (abiotic) that the organisms interact with, such as air, mineral soil, water and
sunlight.
Ecosystem Services: The benefits people obtain from ecosystems. Includes: Provisioning services such
as food and water; Regulating services such as flood & disease control; Cultural services such as
spiritual, recreational, and cultural benefits; and supporting services such as nutrient cycling that
maintain the conditions for life on Earth.
Energy Types: Forms of energy that do work in a system (e.g. Solar, Nuclear, Mechanical, Thermal,
Electrical, Gravitational, etc)
Energy Pyramid: An energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a community. The different
levels represent different groups of organisms that compose a food chain.
Ecosystems and Ecology Definitions 2
jschmied©2016
7. Food chain: A simple way of showing how energy passes through organisms in the environment
Food Web: A series of overlapping food chains which show how energy moves through an ecosystem.
Habitat: The physical location where an organism lives. ex: wetland, salt marsh, forest, lake, grassland
Herbivores: A type of consumer that feeds directly on green plants (or another type of autotroph).
Introduced, Endangered, Threatened or Species of Concern Lists: Two Federal or State cautionary lists.
• The Endangered, Threatened, or species of concern list tells about organisms whose survival in
the wild are of concern.
• The Introduced species list tells about all non native organisms introduced (invasives) into an
area that threaten the ecology of this area.
Matter: A substance that occupies space and has mass
Matter cycling: The circle of life. When matter goes through different forms in the environment.
(Ex: Plant => Cow => Human => Worms => Robin => Hawk => Owl => Worms etc.)
Mutualism: A relationship in which two or more different organisms benefit. (Anenome – Clownfish)
Niche : The role of an organism in an ecosystem… how the organism gets its energy. ex: producer,
herbivore, omnivore, carnivore, top carnivore, decomposer
Ecosystems and Ecology Definitions 3
jschmied©2016
8. Omnivores: Organisms that feed on both plant and animal matter for energy.
Plankton: any drifting organisms (animals, plants, archaea, or bacteria) that inhabit the open waters of
oceans, seas, or bodies of fresh water.
Photosynthesis: A process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
A simplified formula for photosynthesis CO2 + H2O + sunlight → Sugar (C6H12O6)) + O2
Population: all the organisms that belong to the same group or species and live in the same
geographical area
Predator – Prey relationship: An interaction between two organisms of different species when one is
the predator who captures & feeds on the other organism that serves as the prey.
Example of the Predator-Prey relationship:
• In ecology, predation is a mechanism of population control.
• When the number of predators is scarce the number of prey should rise. When this happens the predators
would be able to reproduce rapidly.
• As the number of predators rises, the number of prey decline. T his results in food scarcity for predators
that can eventually lead to the death of many predators.
Producers: Organisms in an ecosystem (primarily green photosynthetic plants) that use the energy of
the sun and other materials to make energy and grow.
Ecosystems and Ecology Definitions 4
jschmied©2016
9. Ecosystems and Ecology Definitions Final
System: A group of parts working together that forming a complex whole. (e.g. body systems,
ecological systems, railroad system, Interstate highway system)
Trade Off: An exchange of one thing for another, especially giving up of one benefit or advantage
for another that is more desirable: (See example below)
Wolf example: If wolves are reintroduced into an area where they weren’t for many years,
there are many positive and negative trade-off
Positive Negative
Wolf eats sick & weak animals Wolf threat to ranchers, possibly eats cattle
Food web has healthier, fitter animals Moose, Elk , Deer populations decrease overall
Habitat restored with more vegetation Sheep and Cattle wary, gain weight slower
More food for birds, small mammals Possible, though unlikely, threat to humans
Possible hunting season for wolves
Ecosystem more diverse

23. What is the Basic Process of Evolution?
The basic theory of evolution is surprisingly simple. It has three key parts:
jschmied©2016
1. It is possible for the DNA of an organism to occasionally change, or mutate.
A mutation changes the DNA of an organism in a way that affects its offspring, either
immediately or several generations down the line.
2. The change brought about by a mutation is either beneficial, harmful or neutral.
• If the change is harmful, then it is not likely the offspring will survive to reproduce, so
the mutation dies out.
• If the change is beneficial, then it is likely that the offspring will do better than other
offspring and so will reproduce more. This is called an Adaptation.
• Through reproduction, the beneficial mutation spreads. The process of culling bad
mutations and spreading good mutations is called natural selection.
3. As mutations occur & spread over long periods of time new species form.
Over the course of many millions of years, the processes of mutation and natural
selection have created every species of life we see in the world today, from the simplest
bacteria to humans and everything in between.
24. What types of evidence do we have that
organisms adapted, or evolved, over time?
Understanding Evolution
- The history of living things is documented
through multiple lines of evidence that
converge to tell the story of life through
time.
- The lines of evidence include:
Fossil evidence
Homologies
Distribution in time and space
Evidence by example

26. Food
Web
jschmied©2016
A food web is a:
• series of
interlocking food
chains
• which show how
energy moves
through an
ecosystem.
2. I can show & analyze flows of matter
& energy in an ecosystem using an
energy pyramid, food web or
matter cycler.
27. Food Webs – The rest of the story
Food webs are often simplified
A predator’s prey varies with the time of the year,
weather, age of predator & available food .
Compare this food web to the data below:
Great Horned Owl’s really eat:
• Over 253 species of prey: Spiders, insects,
crayfish, fish, frogs, salamanders, snakes, turtles,
ducks, herons, pheasants, geese, rabbits, rats,
mice, voles, skunks, opossum, muskrats &
woodchucks.
• Great Horned Owls mostly feed on:
Rabbits, hares, squirrels, rats and muskrats.
• Great Horned Owls prey on other owls
Barred Owls, Barn Owls, Screech Owls,
Saw-whet Owls, but not Snowy Owls.

2. I can show & analyze flows of matter
& energy in an ecosystem using an
energy pyramid, food web or matter cycler.
28. Trophic Level: The trophic level of an organism is the position the
organism is in a food chain
Trophic levels are based on the ways organisms get food. Here these are:
Producer - plants or algae that use Carbon Dioxide and Water and Sunlight to
make their own food using photosynthesis
Consumer - animals who cannot make their own food and need to consume other
organisms for energy.
Three types:
o Herbivores: Animals that eat primary producers (like plants)
o Carnivores: Animals that eat other animals
o Omnivores: Animals that eat both plant and other animals
Decomposer – organisms that get energy by breaking down dead plant and animal
material and wastes. The decayed matter is then released as energy and nutrients
into the ecosystem for recycling.
Trophic Levels – 10% of energy is passed on, 90% lost as heat etc.
1: Primary producers - Plants and algae
2: Primary consumers - Herbivores
3: Secondary consumers – Carnivores that eat herbivores
4: Tertiary consumers - Carnivores which eat other carnivores
5: Top predators - have no predators and are at the top of the food chain.

33. Symbiotic Relationships –
Symbiosis: An interaction between two different organisms living in
close physical association, often to the advantage of both
jschmied©2016
Example 1A: Mutualism (Win – Win) both benefit
Lichens are made of a fungus
in a mutualistic relationship
with an alga.
The algae provide :
• Carbon
• Energy to the fungi
The fungi supplies:
• Minerals &
• Protection to the algae
34. jschmied©2016
Example 1B: Mutualism Mycorrhizal Interface (Win-Win)
A Mycorrhizal interface occurs
when a plant’s root network
interconnects with the vast fungi
networks in the soil.
The plant roots provide :
• Energy in the form of surplus
sugars & starches
The fungi supplies:
• Nutrients
• Water from the fungi network
Fully-formed mycorrhizal networks
can increase the water absorption of
plant roots by a hundred to a
thousand times!

39. What is an Ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a system containing:
A community of living organisms (plants, animals and
microbes) and other biotic factors (living) (predation,
mutualism…) and:
Abiotic (or nonliving factors) of the environment heat,
cold, air, water, fire, wind, mineral soil etc…
Linked together through:
Nutrient cycles (Nitrogen, Carbon, Phosphorous…)
Energy flows
jschmied©2016
1. Know what an Ecosystem is: I can explain that an ecosystem is an area with populations
of organisms, other living (biotic) factors) & nonliving (abiotic) factors.
40. What do we study about Ecosystems
Location of local ecosystems
The limiting factors that govern each
( Desert = rainfall, Tundra = temperature…)
How each change over time.
jschmied©2016
41. Ecosystems – Climate change
jschmied©2016
Abiotic Factors affect the Earth’s systems.
Massive amounts of CO2, CH4 (methane) & other
chemicals released by burning fossil fuels are
warming the atmosphere + disrupting the Earth’s
entire temperature balance.
A combination of
Biotic and Abiotic
Factors out of
balance are challenging
Earth’s Systems.
43. Know your local Ecosystems
Atoms to Universe prezi
I can give LOCAL examples of ecosystems and describe their boundaries and contents. Olympic National Forest,
Columbia Plateau, Cascades, Palouse, Puget Sound, Skyview’s Environmental Center, a wetland pond, one square foot of lawn).

44. Ecosystems are Changing!
Presently our population is driving
environmental change. Some reasons:
• Resource Extraction & Uses
• Mining, wells, timber harvest, soil loss
• Climate Change
• Burning of Oil, Gas, Nat’l Gas & Wood
• Extinction – Introduced Species
• Decrease in diversity, loss of genetic resources
• Pollution
• Water, Air, Soil
• Need more space for humans means….
• Less space for other living things
We are changing the face of the Earth, a little bit of a time

52. 5 Rules of the Environment
1. Population drives most issues in our environment.
2. You can’t appreciate what you don’t understand… and If you don’t
appreciate the environment, its easy to treat it with disrespect
3. The Tragedy of the Commons “exists” in everyone
Air, Water, Soil, Oceans, Energy, Fish and Land Animals…
People acting independently and in their own self-interest will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource… even
when it is clearly not in anyone’s long term interest for this to happen
…. Even though you may know that what you want to do is not good for future generations, you are inclined to do
so because it is in your own best interest.
4. No one Silver Bullet (solution) can solve an environmental issue.
