In this assignment, you will investigate the biotic and abiotic structure and function of an ecosystem. You will also investigate how ecosystems recover from disturbance naturally and through human restoration.<\/p>\n

Choose 1 of the following ecosystems: <\/p>\n

\n
• Tropical rainforest<\/li>\n
• Grassland<\/li>\n
• Coral reef<\/li>\n
• Estuary<\/li>\n
• Desert <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  You will write an APA-style research paper about your choice of ecosystem, including the following elements: <\/p>\n

  \n
  • Describe where this type of ecosystem might be located. Name 1 specific example.<\/li>\n
  • Describe the structure of the ecosystem.\n
    \n
    • List at least 3 specific examples of both abiotic components and biotic components for the ecosystem type selected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Describe the function of the ecosystem\n
      \n
      • In your own words, explain or define biogeochemical cycle<\/em>. <\/li>\n
      • Describe the steps in the carbon cycle as an example of one biogeochemical cycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Describe disturbance and recovery\n
        \n
        • Describe 1 natural and 1 human-caused disturbance to the ecosystem that you have chosen. <\/li>\n
        • Describe the damage to the ecosystem for each example, including how the abiotic and biotic characteristics of the ecosystem changed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Provide 2 examples of natural resources provided by the ecosystem that you have selected.\n
          \n
          • How can these be sustained into the future? <\/li>\n
          • How can humans act as good stewards to assist ecosystem recovery? Provide 1 example specific to the ecosystem that you have chosen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
