  1. ECOLOGY Population Concept Ecosystem Concept Example of ecosystem Cycling and Energy flow Inter-relationship Succession

  2. Population Concept • Factor affecting population growth • Growth curve • Survivorshio curves • Age pyramids

  3. Factors affect population • Birth rate (natality) • Death rate (mortality) • Time to reach sexual maturity • Number of individual now • Life span • Migration • Competition • Predation • Physical factor

  4. Population Population Time Time Growth Curve • S-shaped curve • J-shaped curve

  5. Population Time S-shaped Curve Stationary Log Lag

  6. Population Time J- shaped Curve (algae) Nutrient Used up Nutrient added

  7. Population Life span Survivorship Curve Man, large animal Most animal, plant Fish, crab

  8. Age pyramids

  9. Growth of human population • Medical technology • Agricultural technology • Less natural disaster • Insufficient birth control

  10. Control of population • Legistration • Education • Medical method • Physical Barrier • Contraceptive pill • operation

  12. Ecosystem Concept Habitat Population Community Ecosystem Niche Biome Biosphere

  13. Habitat

  14. Population

  15. Community

  16. Ecosystem

  17. Other Niche = Role of that organism Each organism has specific niche. No two organisms have same niche. Biome = abiotic + biotic factors + Climate Biosphere= all in the earth

  31. Predation prey number predator Time

  32. Competition Competitor A number Competitor B Time

  33. Commensalism Host number Commensal Time

  34. Mutualism symbionts number Symbionts Time

  37. Succession Ecological succession is process by which communities in the ecosystem change with time. For forest succession: Lichen community Algae and mosses Herbs Shrubs Trees
