What are physical and limiting factors of environment?
Resources that are essential for life (limiting factors): Availability of: Water, Food, Shelter, Mates; Predator density, Species: population, Size, Competing
Why invasive species dangerous?
Because they have a large impact on the ecosystems they invade. They can affect the chemical makeup of the water, availability of resources, and even alter the food web.
How do new species change ecosystems?
If there is a new environment, it will likely attract species used to that environment. Maybe species not yet seen. If you don't count that as a new species then consider this, the new animals and species attracted to the new environment and landscapes might have a chance of breeding with other animals and species, creating a new species.
Why does each species have its own niche?
Because each species has to have its own role in the environment
What are some negative effects of reintroduction of species on the environment?
Environments are constantly changing. When a species is taken out of an ecosystem, it changes the environment drastically. However, eventually, the environment and all organisms it contains regain balance through adaption. When the originally removed species returns, the balance is thrown off again. If the original species is not gone for a long enough period to cause huge changes, any negative effects of change can be quickly reversed. If the species is introduced after new balance is acquired, some negative effects may include decimation of adjusted species or natural resources.
what describe the exponential growth of species?
The best description for the exponential growth of species is if the resources available are unlimited, each species can grow to its full potential. This leads the species to grow in numbers.
Can any species undergo exponential growth forever?
If there is restrictions on the species population then yes, why not? However if there is a limited to resources or predation then no.
What are physical and limiting factors of environment?
Resources that are essential for life (limiting factors): Availability of: Water, Food, Shelter, Mates; Predator density, Species: population, Size, Competing
Can species undergo exponential growth forever?
It is not possible for any species to undergo exponential growth forever. There is only a finite amount of resources in terms of living space, food, air to breathe, water to drink, and so forth, and therefore a constantly growing species will eventually get to the point at which it runs out of resources. Typically this results in mass starvation and shrinkage of the overgrown species.
When does exponential growth of a population stop?
Exponential growth may occur in environments where there are few individuals and plentiful resources but when the number of individuals become large enough resources will be depleted slowing the growth in exponential growth.
Can you use the environment without harming the species present in that area?
Any environment can usually be used without harming the species in the area. What usually causes harm to a species is the over use of resources in an area; although sometimes the smallest change can have the biggest impact. The more resources that are taken, the more likely a species will be affected. So, when you enter a new environment, bear in mind that what you do has the possibility of affecting another species, harmless or not.
Table of mangrove species found in the Philippines?
the Philippines Department of Environment and Natural Resources should have this information.
What does hostile environment means?
An unfriendly environment, where there arent much resources available for the particular species living there. Therefore making it harder to survive and live.
Why invasive species dangerous?
Because they have a large impact on the ecosystems they invade. They can affect the chemical makeup of the water, availability of resources, and even alter the food web.
Can a species undergo exponential growth forever?
No. It can't even undergo linear growth forever, because it will run out of resources or space. With exponential growth, this merely happens more suddenly. "Exponential" growth refers to doublings. It follows a pattern like this: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024,
How does dumping waste into water resources affect organisms in the water?
it causes pollution and harms the environment especially the species living in it.
How do species interact with their environment?
A species either survives in its environment or the environment kills it.if a species is well adapted to the environment it thrives.
