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.
Choose 1 of the following ecosystems:
• Tropical rainforest
• Grassland
• Coral reef
• Estuary
• Desert
You will write an APA-style research paper about your choice of ecosystem, including the following elements:
• Describe where this type of ecosystem might be located. Name 1 specific example.
• Describe the structure of the ecosystem.
o List at least 3 specific examples of both abiotic components and biotic components for the ecosystem type selected.
• Describe the function of the ecosystem
o In your own words, explain or define biogeochemical cycle.
o Describe the steps in the carbon cycle as an example of one biogeochemical cycle.
• Describe disturbance and recovery
o Describe 1 natural and 1 human-caused disturbance to the ecosystem that you have chosen.
o Describe the damage to the ecosystem for each example, including how the abiotic and biotic characteristics of the ecosystem changed.
• Provide 2 examples of natural resources provided by the ecosystem that you have selected.
o How can these be sustained into the future?
o How can humans act as good stewards to assist ecosystem recovery? Provide 1 example specific to the ecosystem that you have chosen.
• must be in APA format.
