What about your part of ch 55 assignment? Or did you include both?

Hey I have done my part, and compiled mine, Jacks, and the Other Josephs. Vladdy if you do not fucking post, I will beat you. Jesus Russians always the last to get things done. If you want my part, you had better post.

Send the composed stuff to me. Add these below:

Ch 55 Q#1:

1. Energy and nutrients pass from primary producers (autotrophs) to primary consumers (herbivores and then to secondary consumers (carnivores). Energy flows through an ecosystem, entering as light and exiting as heat. Nutrients cycle within an ecosystem.

Ch 54 terms:
1.Turnover time – standing crop biomass compared to production
2.Pyramid of numbers – limited biomass at the top of an ecological pyramid is concentrated in a relatively small number of large individuals
3.Green world hypothesis – herbivores consume relatively little plant biomass because they are held in check by a variety of factors, such as predators, parasites and disease.
4.Biogeochemical cycles – nutrient circuits involve both biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems.
5.Nitrogen fixation – natural pathway for nitrogen to enter ecosystems
6.Nitrification – process when ammonium in soil is used by certain aerobic bacteria as an energy source

Ch 55 Self Quiz:
1.Extinction is a natural phenomenon. 99% of all species that ever lived are now extinct. Why is there biodiversity crisis? Current rate of extinction is 1,000 times higher than any time in the last 100,000 years.
2.Most likely consequence of a loss in ecosystem is loss of ecosystem services on which humans depend
3.Effective population size for this population is 32.
4.Population in extinction vortex – genetic measurements indicate a continuing loss of genetic variation.
5.Characteristics of application of ecological principles to return to a degraded ecosystem – restoration ecology
6.What is the greatest threat to biodiversity? Human alteration, fragmentation and destruction of terrestrial and aquatic habitats
7.Which of the following statements about the declining population approach to conservation is not correct? We need to do something quickly, even if we have no information, because conservation biology is a crisis discipline.
8.Best strategy for saving a population – introducing individuals from other populations to increase genetic variation
9.Incorrect – We now protect 23% of land areas of the planet
10.What is the sustainable biosphere initiative? Research agenda to study biodiversity and support sustainable development
