ECOLOGY AND ECOSYSTEM by Mind Map: ECOLOGY AND ECOSYSTEM

1. ECOLOGIST

1.1. who study ecosystem identify the living organism as part of a population , community

1.1.1. population

1.1.1.1. all organism that same species in given area who can breed with another

1.1.2. community

1.1.2.1. all population living in an area

2. ECOSYSTEM DYNAMIC

2.1. Energy and Nutrient in the Ecosystem

2.1.1. energy

2.1.1.1. ability to do work

2.1.1.2. passed organism by feeding relationship in the ecosytem

2.1.1.2.1. TROPHIC LEVEL

3. THE FLOW OF ENERGY

3.1. FOOD CHAIN

3.1.1. feeding relationship between different living things

3.1.2. show the energy pass

3.1.3. if food chain overlap it become food web

3.1.3.1. food web

3.1.3.1.1. feeding relation among species in an ecological communty

3.1.3.1.2. specify energy relation and transfer amongst them

4. ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION

4.1. observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time

4.2. occurs when the conditions of an environment suddenly and drastically change

5.2.1.2.3. gamma (diversity of the habitat of the total landscape)

5.2.2. species diversity

5.2.2.1. different kinds of organisms, relationship among species.

5.2.2.2. variety of species in a region
