Ecosystems & Communities:Organisms and their Environments

Chapter 15

2

Ecosystems have living and non-living components

15.1 What are ecosystems?

3

15.1 What is an Ecosystem?• A community of biological organisms plus the non-

living components with which the organisms interact.• Living organisms are not self-sufficient. They need

energy and raw materials.

6

15.1 What is an Ecosystem?• The biotic environment consists of all the living

organisms within an area and is often referred to as a community.

• The abiotic (aka non-living or physical) environment, often referred to as the organisms’ habitat, consists of:• the chemical resources of the soil, water, and air,

such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus• the physical conditions, such as the temperature,

salinity (salt level), moisture, humidity, and energy sources

7

Which scenario below exemplifies an ecosystem?1. A group of organisms of the same species living in the

same place at the same time2. Different species interacting together at the same

place and time3. Different species interacting with each other at the

same time in a desert4. A smaller species living on a larger species in a

mutually beneficial relationship

8

Take-Home Message 15.1• An ecosystem is all of the living organisms in a habitat

as well as the physical environment. Ecosystems are found not just in obvious places such as ponds, deserts, and tropical rainforests but also in some unexpected places, like the digestive tracts of organisms or the shell of a beetle.

9

Challenge Question 15.1• An ecosystem is made of two components: the biotic

environment, or community, consisting of the living organisms within an area, and the physical environment, or the habitat in which these organisms live. A habitat consists of its chemical resources of the soil, water, and air as well as its physical conditions. List some of the aspects that make up the physical conditions of a habitat.

10

Ecosystems have living and non-living components

15.2 A variety of biomes occur around the world, each determined by temperature and rainfall.

11

15.2 A variety of biomes occur around the world, each determined by temperature and rainfall.• What is the average temperature?• What is the average rainfall (or other precipitation)?• Is the temperature relatively constant or does it vary

seasonally?• Is the rainfall relatively constant or does it vary

seasonally?

14

Tropical Rain Forest

• forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth• ~ 125 to 660 cm yearly rainfall• temperature ranges from 20 °C - 34 °C• average humidity 77 - 88%• rainfall > 250 cm/year (may be a brief dry season) • almost all rain forests lie near the equator

15

Tropical Rain Forest

• < 6% of Earth's land surface• > 50% of all the world's plant and animal species live in

tropical rain forests• produce ~40% of Earth's oxygen• ~70% of the plants in the rainforest are trees• ~25% of all the medicines we use come from rainforest

plants

Indicator Species

• any biological species that defines a trait or characteristic of the environment• may delineate an ecoregion • could indicate an environmental condition such as

a disease outbreak, pollution, species competition or climate change

• can be among most sensitive species in a region; sometimes act as early warning to monitoring biologists

22

Grasslands (Prairie)

• 2 different types • tall-grass: humid & very wet• short-grass: dry; hotter summers and colder winters

than the tall-grass prairie• found in middle latitudes in the interiors of continents• either moist continental climates or dry subtropical

climates• Argentina - grasslands are known as pampas• grasslands in southern hemisphere tend to get more

precipitation than those in the northern hemisphere

23

Grasslands (Prairie)

24

Grasslands (Prairie)• temperatures range from -40° F 70° F• growing season and a dormant season

• growing season is when there is no frost and plants can grow (which lasts from 100 to 175 days)• tropical and subtropical grasslands the length of

the growing season is determined by how long the rainy season lasts

• temperate grasslands the length of the growing season is determined by temperature (≥ 50° F)

• dormant (not growing) season: nothing can grow because its too cold

25

Grasslands (Prairie)• average rainfall per year ranges from 10 - 30 inches

• tropical and sub-tropical grasslands: average rainfall per year ranges from 25 - 60 inches

• amount of rainfall is very important in determining which areas are grasslands • hard for trees to compete with grasses in places

where the uppers layers of soil are moist during part of the year but where deeper layer of soil are always dry.

Temperate Deciduous Forest – Succession• orderly succession of communities to a climax

community (biome)• two main types of succession:

• primary succession: begins with bare rock exposed by geologic activity

• secondary succession: begins on soil from which previous community has been removed (by fire, agriculture, etc.)• secondary succession can proceed much faster

because the soil has been prepared by the previous community

The Freshwater Biome• low salt concentration — usually less than 1%• plants and animals in freshwater regions are adjusted to

the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration (i.e., ocean)

• 3 different types of freshwater regions:• ponds and lakes• streams and rivers• wetlands

74

The Marine Biome• cover about three-fourths of the Earth's surface • marine algae supply much of the world's oxygen supply

and take in a huge amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide

• evaporation of the seawater provides rainwater for the land

• 3 different types of marine regions:• oceans• coral reefs• estuaries

79

Ecological Notes

In order to be productive and have a lot of living material standing around (biomass), an ecosystem has to have 4 basic necessities for plant life to thrive (if there are enough plants, the ecosystem will also support a lot of animals).  The four things are:

1. Sunlight2. Nutrients3. Warm temperatures4. Water

80

Biomes Video

81

Take-Home Message 15.2• Biomes are the major ecological communities of earth,

characterized mostly by the vegetation present. Different biomes result from differences in temperature and precipitation, and the extent to which they vary from season to season.

82

Challenge Question 15.2• Terrestrial biomes are determined by the temperature

and precipitation amounts as well as whether those factors are constant or vary by season. By contrast, how are aquatic biomes determined?

83

Physical forces interacting create weather

15.3 Global air circulation patterns create deserts and rain forests.

84

85

86

Water also cycles through ecosystems. It continually moves from the ocean to the air and land, then returns to the ocean in a cyclic pattern.

87

88

Take-Home Message 15.3• Global patterns of weather are largely determined by the

earth’s round shape. Solar energy hits the equator at a more direct angle than at the Poles, leading to warmer temperatures at lower latitudes. This temperature gradient generates atmospheric circulation patterns that result in heavy rain at the equator and many deserts at 30° latitude.

89

Challenge Question 15.3• Global weather patterns are mainly determined by the

amount of solar energy falling on an area. The amount of solar energy that falls on an area largely depends on the angle at which this light hits the earth. Explain what this means.

90

Physical forces interacting create weather

15.4 Local topography influences the weather.

91

15.4 Local topography influences the weather• High altitudes have lower temperatures

• With increasing elevation, the air pressure drops—this is because the weight of the atmosphere becomes lower as altitude increases.

• When pressure is lower, the temperature drops. For each 1000 meters above sea level, the temperature drops by about 6° C.

92

15.4 Local topography influences the weather

93

15.4 Local topography influences the weather

• Asphalt, cement, and tops of buildings absorb heat, raising the temperature.

• Tall buildings force wind downward.

94

15.4 Local topography influences the weather

Which place would you expect to have the highest temperature during the summer?

1. Denver, Colorado (the mile high city)2. Dallas, Texas (large city)3. Farmer’s Branch, Texas (small town outside of

Dallas)4. Freeport, Maine (small town)

95

Take-Home Message 15.4• Local features of topography influence the weather. With

higher altitude, the temperature drops. On the windward side of mountains, rainfall is high; on the backside, descending air reduces rainfall, causing rain shadow deserts. Urban development increases the absorption of solar energy, leading to higher temperatures, and creates wind near the bottom of tall buildings.

96

Challenge Question 15.4• A rain shadow is a dry region on the landward side of a

mountain range. How is it formed?

97

98

Physical forces interacting create weather

15.5 Ocean currents affect the weather.

15.5 Ocean currents affect the weather• water is continuously moving and mixing due to a

combination of forces • wind• earth’s rotation• gravitational pull of the moon• temperature• salt concentration

99

15.5 Ocean currents affect the weather

100

15.5 Ocean currents affect the weather• Why do beach communities have milder weather than

more inland communities?• Beaches on the east coast of the United States have

warmer water than west coast beaches at the same latitudes – why?

103

Water can affect the climate in which example below?

1. Ecosystems located near large bodies of water2. El Niño3. Temperatures in Europe compared to North America4. All of the above

104

Take-Home Message 15.5• Oceans have global circulation patterns. Disruptions in

these patterns occur every few years and can cause extreme climate disruptions around the world.

105

Challenge Question 15.5• Why is most of Europe significantly warmer than regions

in Canada at the same latitude?

Energy and chemicals flow within ecosystems

15.6 Energy flows from producers to consumers.

108

109

First Stop: Primary Producers

110

First Stop: Primary Producers• ecosystem: producers or consumers

• primary producers: plants, algae (some), bacteria • convert light energy from sun into chemical energy

through photosynthesis• chemical energy = food

• consumers eat or absorb their food• energy stored in chemical bonds of carbohydrate,

protein, and lipid molecules is captured and harnessed for consumers’ own movement, reproduction, and growth

111

Second Stop: Primary Consumers – the Herbivores

112

Third Stop: Secondary Consumers – the Carnivores

113

Fourth Stop: Tertiary Consumers – the “Top” Carnivores

121

Energy Flows through a Food Web• Losses at every “step” in a food chain

• Inefficiency of energy transfers

122

A grasshopper eats a plant. A mouse eats the grasshopper. A snake eats the mouse. A hawk could eat the snake or the mouse. In this food web, how would we categorize the hawk?

1. Producer2. Primary consumer3. Secondary consumer4. Tertiary consumer5. Quaternary consumer6. 4 and 5

123

Take-home message 15.6• Energy from the sun passes through an ecosystem in

several steps. • First, it is converted to chemical energy in

photosynthesis. • Herbivores then consume the primary producers, the

herbivores are consumed by carnivores, and the carnivores, in turn, may be consumed by top carnivores.

124

Take-home message 15.6• Detritivores and decomposers extract energy from

organic waste and the remains of organisms that have died.

• At each step in a food chain, some usable energy is lost as heat.

125

126

Energy and chemicals flow within ecosystems

15.7 Energy pyramids reveal the inefficiency of food chains.

Biomass• biomass: total weight of all living organisms in a given

area• only about 10% of the plants in an ecosystem is

converted into biomass• Food Energy Pyramid

• flow of energy through a food chain• trophic level: position that an organism occupies in a

food chain - what it eats, and what eats it• African savannas and grasslands sustain more species

of higher-order carnivores than any other terrestrial ecosystem

127

128

Food Energy Pyramids• flow of energy through a food chain• trophic level: position that an organism occupies in a

food chain - what it eats, and what eats it

129

130

131

You go out to eat at a fancy restaurant. You have a salad, salmon, and for dessert ice cream! Which part of the meal was the most energy efficient food for you to eat?

1. Salad 2. Salmon3. Ice cream 4. 2 and 3

132

Take-home message 15.7• Energy from the sun passes through an ecosystem in

several steps known as trophic levels. • Energy pyramids reveal that the biomass of primary

producers in an ecosystem tends to be far greater than the biomass of herbivores.

• The biomass transferred at each step along the food chain tends to be only about 10% of the biomass of the organisms being consumed, due to energy lost in cellular respiration.

• As a consequence of this inefficiency, food chains rarely exceed four levels.

133

134

Energy and chemicals flow within ecosystems

15.8 Essential chemicals cycle through ecosystems.

Chemical Reservoirs• Each chemical is stored in a non-living part of the

environment.

• Organisms acquire the chemical from the reservoir, a non-living part of the environment.

• The chemical cycles through the food chain (biogeochemical cycles).

• Eventually, the chemical is returned to the reservoir.

135

The Most Important Chemical Cycles

1) Carbon2) Nitrogen3) Phosphorus4) Sulfur

136

137

138

Carbon Cycle Game

Fossil Fuels• created when large numbers of organisms die and are

buried in sediment lacking oxygen• In absence of oxygen, at high pressures, and after very

long periods of time, organic remains are ultimately transformed into coal, oil, and natural gas

• burning coal, oil, and natural gas releases large amounts of carbon dioxide• increases average CO2 concentration in the

atmosphere• current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is the highest it

has been in almost half a million years

139

Global CO2 levels are rising in general, but they also exhibit a sharp rise and fall within each year – why?

140

141

Fertilizers• Because it is necessary for the production of every plant

protein, and because all nitrogen must first be made usable by bacteria, plant growth is often limited by nitrogen levels in the soil.

• For this reason, most fertilizers contain nitrogen in a form usable by plants.

142

143

144

145

Sulfur Cycle• component of protein • cycles in both a gas and sedimentary cycle• source : earth's crust• enters the atmosphere as  hydrogen sulfide (H2S)

during fossil fuel combustion, volcanic eruptions, gas exchange at ocean surfaces, decomposition

146

Sulfur Cycle• H2S is immediately oxidized to sulfur dioxide (SO2) • SO2 + water vapor H2SO4 (falls to earth in rain)  • sulfur in soluble form is taken up by plant roots,

incorporated into amino acids such as cysteine• travels through food chain • eventually released through decomposition

147

How is carbon recycled back to the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?

1. It is “fixed” by bacteria.2. It is a product of cellular respiration.3. Burning of fossil fuels.4. 2 and 3.5. All of the above.

148

Why do commercial fertilizers usually contain usable forms of nitrogen and phosphorous?

1. These chemicals are not efficiently recycled in the soil.

2. Nitrogen and phosphorous need to be “fixed” by bacteria or the plant.

3. Nitrogen and phosphorous are found at high levels in the atmosphere but not in the soil.

4. Nitrogen and phosphorous only enter the soil through erosion.

149

Take-home message 15.8• Chemicals essential to life—including carbon,

nitrogen, and phosphorus—cycle through ecosystems.

• They are usually captured from the atmosphere, soil, or water by growing organisms; passed from one trophic level to the next as organisms eat other organisms; and returned to the environment through respiration, decomposition, and erosion.

• These cycles can be disrupted as human activities significantly increase the amounts of the chemicals utilized or released to the environment.

150

151

Species interactions influence the structure of communities.

15.9 Interacting species evolve together.

152

153

Natural Selection• Causes organisms to become better adapted to their

environment

• Does not distinguish between biotic and abiotic resources as selective forces

154

Coevolution• two (or more) species reciprocally affect each

other’s evolution• likely to happen when different species have

close ecological interactions with one another including:• predator/prey• parasite/host• competitive species• mutualistic species

155

156

Penicillin was first isolated from a fungus growing on a plate of bacteria. This is an example of an adaptation of the fungus to fight off the bacteria. This interaction could be described as:

1. coadaptation.2. coevolution.3. symbiosis.4. predation.

157

Take Home Message 15.9• In producing organisms better adapted to their

environment, natural selection does not distinguish between biotic and abiotic resources as selective forces.

158

159

Species interactions influence the structure of communities.

15.10 Each species’ role in a community is defined by its niche.

More than just a place for living, a niche is a complete way of living

160

More than just a place for living, a niche is a complete way of living• Fundamental niche: the full range of environmental

conditions under which a species can live

• Realized niche: where and how a species is actually living

161

Take Home Message 15.10• A population of organisms in a community fills a unique

niche, defined by the manner in which they utilize the resources in their environment.

• Organisms do not always completely fill their niche; competition with species that have overlapping niches can reduce their range.

162

163

Species interactions influence the structure of communities.

15.11 Competition can be hard to see, but it still influences community structure.

164

165

Why is competition hard to see in nature?

166

How can two very similar species avoid the consequences of competitive exclusion principle?

1. avoid predation 2. one species will become locally extinct 3. character displacement will occur 4. 2 and 3 5. all of the above

167

Take Home Message 15.11• Populations with completely overlapping niches cannot

coexist forever.

• Competition for resources occurs until one or both species evolve in ways that reduce the competition, through character displacement, or until one becomes extinct in that location.

168

169

Species interactions influence the structure of communities.

15.12 Predation produces adaptation in both predators and their prey.

Predation• interaction between two species in which one species

eats the other• one of most important forces shaping composition and

abundance of species in a community

170

Why do exotic species often flourish when released into novel habitats, even though natural selection has not adapted them to this new environment?

171

Prey Adaptations for Reducing Predation• physical

• mechanical• chemical• warning coloration• camouflage mechanisms

• behavioral• passive and active behaviors

• hiding • escaping• alarm calling• fighting back

172

173

1) Mechanical Defenses

174

2) Chemical Defenses

175

3) Warning Coloration

176

4) Camouflage

177

178

Predator adaptations for enhancing predation

179

• toxic-avoidance methods • sensory perception

• faster running ability

• mimicry

180

Why don’t predators become so efficient at capturing prey that they drive the prey to extinction?

181

• predator adaptations are rarely so efficient that prey are driven to extinction

• “escape ability” in prey is stronger than selection for “capture ability” in predator

• cost of losing is much higher for prey

The gazelle can change direction very quickly while being chased by a cheetah (fastest land animal). The gazelle uses which method of defense listed below?

1. Mechanical defense2. Camouflage3. Behavioral4. Warning Coloration5. Chemical defense

182

Take Home Message 15.12• Predators and their prey are in an evolutionary arms

race.

• As physical and behavioral features evolve in prey species to reduce their predation risk, predators develop more effective and efficient methods of predation.

• The coevolutionary process can result in brightly colored organisms, alarm calling, and many types of mimicry.
