- amount of flora species
- height of plant species
- topography of the land
- typical weather patterns in the location]]> 2018-05-28 06:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953374 Human Impact on Ecosystems kim00201 https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953390 - Human processes and actions effects the different cycles of the ecosystem, such as the the nitrogen cycle, carbon-oxygen cycle, phosphorus cycle and the water cycle.

-  sunlight
- temperature
- atmospheric gases
- water 
- soil
All these factors is what makes each ecosystem different and unique in their own way. ]]> 2018-05-28 06:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953430 Limiting Factors kim00201 https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953461 limiting factors include:
- sunlight
- rainfall
soil configuration
- soil nutrients]]> 2018-05-28 06:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953461 Fire Behaviour kim00201 https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953513 - Variables that influence the behaviour of the fire include the amount of vegetation present in the ecosystem, typical weather patterns at the location such as wind, rainfall and sun presence.  Moreover, the typical type of forest may contribute to fire behaviour. If it’s a Sclerophyll forest, where a lot of fire-prone trees species are present or tropical. The landscape of the land plays a huge role in fire behaviour, as steep topography cause a fire to spread at a much faster rate.

- input and outputs such as carbon dioxide, oxygen and water in the ecosystem, 
- Soil Ph effects vegetation grow]]> 2018-05-28 06:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953539 Effects of Fire kim00201 https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953585 - ecological succession when a fire occurs in an ecosystem
- can allow plants to regenerate, such as eucalyptus plants. ]]> 2018-05-28 06:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/263953585 kim00201 https://padlet.com/kim00201/w4ul4ual8gmg/wish/264000705 Short Term Daily Changes
  • Circadian rhythm  - activity that occurs regularly and predictably on a daily basis
  • Diurnal - Active during daylight hours (most birds are diurnal)
  • There are some mammals that are nocturnal 
  • Lunar Rhythms - movement that is caused by the moon every 28-29 days. This includes change in tide height which influences a lot of the species processes. 
  • Season Change - the change in season causes by the position on earth strongly influence all specie processes. Such as when they are born, migration, flora germination, colour change in leaves of trees, water state, hibernation etc.

  • No life is there (bare rock)
  • Then muyosses and lichens grow from soil
  • Soil develops and then grasses and small plants grow
  • animals come 
  • Soil thickens and smaller shrubs grow
  • Trees start to grow
  • Fires burn the trees
Thermohaline circulation
  • Drives the global conveyor belt 
  • Begins in the north atlantic making it be chilled by arctic temp and then get salty  coz it’s cold 
  • Cold water is more dense because of added salt
  • Affected by temperature, salinity, and wind
  • The water starts from the North Atlantic then it moves through the equator and down to Antarctica, making it cold yet again
  • Water upwelling is nutrient-rich around the equator, which creates a good ecosystem for coral to live in

Long term changes in the ecosystem include:
  • Deforestation
  • Urbanisation
  • Radioactive waste/pollution
  • Sea level rise
  • Global rise
