Chapter 12 Sustaining Biodiversity: The Species Approach Core Case Study: The Passenger Pigeon - Gone Forever Once the most numerous bird on earth. In 1858, Passenger Pigeon hunting became a big business. By 1900 they became extinct from over-harvest and habitat loss. Figure 11-1 SPECIES EXTINCTION Species can become extinct: Locally: A species is no longer found in an area it once inhabited but is still found elsewhere in the world. Ecologically: Occurs when so few members of a species are left they no longer play its ecological role. Globally (biologically): Species is no longer found on the earth. Global Extinction Some animals have become prematurely extinct because of human activities. Figure 11-2 Endangered and Threatened Species: Ecological Smoke Alarms

Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Evolution 4-1 What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is a Crucial Part of the Earth?s Natural Capital Biological Diversity (Biodiversity) is the variety of the earth?s species. The genes they contain, the ecosystem in which they live, and the ecosystem processes such as energy flow nutrient cycling that sustain all life. Genetic Diversity enables life on earth to adapt and survive dramatic environmental changes. Ecosystem diversity are storehouses of genetic and species diversity Functional diversity is the variety of processes such as matter cycling and energy flow taking place within ecosystems. 4-2 Where Do Species Come From? Biological Evolution by Natural Selection Explains How Life Changes Over Time

Allie Furlo APES CH. 7 Weather- a set of physical conditions of the lower atmosphere such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, cloud cover, and other factors in a given area over a period of hours or days. Climate- an area?s general pattern of atmospheric conditions over periods of at least three decades and up to thousands of years. Weather averaged over a long period of time. Three major factors determine how air circulates in the lower atmosphere: Uneven heating of the earth?s surface by the sun. The air is more heated at the equator where the sun?s rays strike more directly than at the poles where it strikes at an angle and spreads over a greater area. Solar radiation in tropical areas greatly increases evaporation, which increases precipitation.

APES CH.1 NOTES Environment- our living and nonliving surroundings, with which we interact in a complex web of relationships that connect us to one another and the world we live in. Environmental Science- the study of how humans interact with the living and nonliving parts of their environment. It includes ideas from the natural sciences, social sciences, political science, and humanities. The 3 goals of environmental science are to learn how nature works, understand how we interact with the environment, and to find ways to deal with environmental problems and live more sustainably.

APES Chapter 6 ID: The Human Population and Its Impact Use chapter 6 of your textbook to answer the following questions. What are 3 factors that account for the rapid growth of the world?s human population over the past 200 years. What is the projected human population for the year 2050? 1- humans developed the ability to expand into diverse new habitats and different climate zones 2-emergence of early and modern agriculture allowed more people to be fed for each unit of land area farmed 3-the development of sanitation system, antibiotics, and vaccines helped control infectious disease agents. The projected human population by 2050 is 9.3 billion

APES ID: Chapter 12 ? Food, Soil, and Pest Management Distinguish between chronic under-nutrition (hunger) and chronic malnutrition. People who cannot grow or buy enough food to support their basic energy needs suffer from chronic under-nutrition or hunger. Chronic malnutrition is caused by protein and key nutrient deficiency. What 3 systems provide most of the world?s food? Distinguish among the following types of agriculture: croplands, rangelands, and oceanic fisheries industrialized agriculture- high input agriculture, using heavy equipment and large amounts of financial capital, fossil fuel, water and commercial fertilizers and pesticides to produce single crops or monocultures.
