Population in Ecosystems

infoWhy this? Population ecology explains how abiotic conditions and interactions such as competition and predation influence the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecological sampling and analysis help us evaluate changes in communities and make informed decisions about conservation and habitat management.

scheduleWhy now? Year 12 work on adaptations and investigating diversity supplies the evolutionary context and investigative skills for studying populations. Recent work on photosynthesis also helps us consider how resource availability affects producers before we examine ecosystem energy transfer in greater detail.
