La idoneidad del hábitat

Millares de tipos de animales pueden encontrarse viviendo en los bosques. Por el contrario de las plantas, la fauna no se presta a la observación por parte de los humanos. Afortunadamente, la observación cuidadosa de la estructura de los bosques puede proporcionar información importante sobre el componente animal de los bosques.

Experimentation

How are experiments central to ecology?
Science attempts to provide the best possible picture of what is going on behind the phenomena. It describes the unseen components of the problem. Theories are the accounts of the underlying composition or unseen causes; they speak about things beyond the evidence.

The flow of energy and nutrients through a system requires an understanding of the components within that system. The interactive model below facilitates this understanding.

Assessing Forest Habitat Suitability for Wildlife Species

in

Forest structure provides habitat for many species that have evolved to live in specific forest environments. The investigators will use previously collected data to determine whether conditions needed for a specific species are present at the site (two or more forest ecology protocols need to be completed first).

Complexity

in

Ecological complexity depends upon species diversity and the structure of species interactions. Complex ecosystems are hierarchically controlled, characterized by non-linear feedback loops, and exhibit patterns that can be observed over many different spatial and temporal scales.

Biological Diversity

In the broadest sense, biodiversity encompasses all the variety of life forms on Earth. Humans rely upon the earth's biodiversity resources for food, fiber, fuel, building materials, medicine, and technological advances.
