What Shapes an Ecosystem?What Shapes an Ecosystem?
• The PHYSICAL factors of a habitat are known as ABIOTIC.
(a=not bio=life)
aka: anything not living
-soil, water, temperature, light, wind, minerals, organic compounds
• The biological influences of a habitat are known as BIOTIC.
-Anything living—both macroscopic and microscopic!

Biotic & Abiotic FactorsBiotic & Abiotic FactorsKey Concept:
Together, biotic and abiotic factors determine the survival and growth of an organism and the productivity of the ecosystem.

Diverse Communities in Diverse Communities in EcosystemsEcosystems
There are many measures of biodiversity
Considering species diversity, more diverse communities tend to be more productive. The role of diversity in community stability is less clear.

NicheNiche• You might think that competition for
resources would make it impossible for so many species to live in the same habitat.
• However, each species has different requirements for its survival.
• As a result, each species has its own niche. • An organism’s niche is its role in its
environment – how it obtains food and shelter, finds a mate, cares for its young, and avoids danger.

HabitatHabitat• One habitat might contain hundreds or even
thousands of species.
• A rotting log in a forest can be home to many species of insects, including termites that eat decaying wood and ants that feed on the termites.
• Other species that live on and under rotting log include millipedes, centipedes, spiders, and worms.

NicheNiche• The full range of physical and
biological conditions in which an organism lives AND the way in which the organism uses those conditions.
• Determined by the biotic & abiotic factors of the ecosystem

NicheNiche
• Essentially it is the sum of all activities and relationships a species has while obtaining and using the resources needed to survive and reproduce.
• A species' niche includes:
• a. Habitat - where it lives in the ecosystem
• b. Relationships - all interactions with other species in the ecosystem
• c. Nutrition - its method of obtaining food.

Key Concept:
Community Interactions, Such As Competition, Predation, and Various Forms of Symbiosis, Can Powerfully Affect An Ecosystem

CompetitionCompetition• Occurs When Different
species attempt to use the same resource at the same place & time.
![Page 13: Chapter 4 Ecosystems & Communities Section 4-2 What Shapes an Ecosystem?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e365503460f94b25fa7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CompetitionCompetition• 2 Species partially
share a niche: both compete in the overlapping parts of the niche for resources, nesting sites, or territory. If the overlap is minimal, both species can coexist.
• 2 Species have the same niche: both compete head to head in the niche for resources, nesting sites, or territory. One of the species will be superior to the other in utilizing the niche. The 2nd species disappears from the ecosystem.

Competitive Exclusion PrincipleCompetitive Exclusion Principle• No Two Species Can Occupy The Same
Niche In the Same Habitat At The Same Time.

A. live in equilibrium with species
B. move to a different level and live with species A or C
C. stay at that level but change their diet
D. compete with species D for resource

Predator and PreyPredator and PreyAn organism’s niche includes how it avoids
being eaten and how it finds or
captures its food.
![Page 20: Chapter 4 Ecosystems & Communities Section 4-2 What Shapes an Ecosystem?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e365503460f94b25fa7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PredationPredationOne organism captures and feeds
on another organism.
Predator = Killer/Eater
Prey = The Eaten One

SymbiosisSymbiosis
• Not all relationships among organisms involve food.
• Many organisms live together and share resources in other ways.
• Any close relationship between species is called symbiosis.

Termites and TrichonymphaTermites and Trichonympha• You probably think termites eat wood; they do – in
a way. • Termites can’t digest cellulose, which is the main
component of wood. • Therefore, they get help from a protozoan called
trichonympha. • This protozoan lives in the gut of the termite. It
breaks down the cellulose for the termite. • The trichonympha gets a free meal and shelter;
the termite is able to eat and receive nutrients from the wood.

Bees and PollenBees and Pollen
Bees receive nectar from the flowers in order to
make honey. As the bees collect nectar, they collect pollen on their body. As they fly to another flower, they pollinate it by dusting the pollen on the flowers
stamen.

species (host) without doing harm to it.

Clown Fish and Sea AnemonesClown Fish and Sea Anemones
The clown fish is immune to the stings of the sea anemones tentacles. The clown fish
makes its home in the tentacles for protection. The clown fish gets shelter, but
the sea anemone gets nothing.

leave. The remora gets food while the shark gets

Ecological SuccessionEcological SuccessionKey Concept:
Ecosystems are constantly changing in response to natural & human disturbances.
As an ecosystem changes, older inhabitants gradually die out and new organisms move in, causing further changes in the community.
![Page 80: Chapter 4 Ecosystems & Communities Section 4-2 What Shapes an Ecosystem?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e365503460f94b25fa7/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Change of Ecosystem over Change of Ecosystem over TimeTime
• When a volcano forms a new island, a glacier recedes and exposes bare rock, or a fire burns all of the vegetation in an area, a NEW HABITAT is created.

Ecological SuccessionEcological Succession
PRIMARY SUCCESSIONoccurs when organisms colonize a barren
environment where no soil exists. -volcanic eruptions -bare rock exposed when glaciers melt
This is a series of predictable changes that occur in a community over time.

Retreating Glaciers at Glacier Bay Alaska Make It a Natural Laboratory for Studying Primary Succession
Primary succession occurs when organisms colonize a barren environment.

Primary Succession at Glacier Bay, Alaska
A climax community is the stable community at the final stage of succession.

SECONDARY SUCCESSION occurs where there has been a disturbance of some kind to the existing community without removing the soil.
-Wildfires that burn forests
Succession after the Yellowstone fires.

Trends in Succession
Succession shows some general trends that include:
1) Biomass increase over time.
2) An increase in the number and proportion of longer-lived species.
3) Increased species diversity.
NO TWO SUCCESSIONS ARE ALIKE
