 Ecology:
The study of
relationships between living
things in an environment with
other living things and nonliving things.

All of the living
things in a given area,
interacting with each other, and
also with the non-living
components.

 Species: Organisms which share
characteristics and can breed
together.
Biomes:
 Habitat:
Biomes:
 Habitat:
The place where an
organism lives and obtains its
resources for survival.

factors: All
organisms in an ecosystem (is
alive or was once alive).

factors: All
organisms in an ecosystem (is
alive or was once alive).
 Abiotic
factors: Has never
been alive.

Biomes:
 What
makes a biome?
Biomes:
 What
makes a biome?
–Biomes are determined
based primarily on
climate.
Biomes:
 What
makes a biome?
–Biomes are determined
based primarily on climate.
Climate
includes temperature
and precipitation and is the
typical weather pattern over a
long period of time.
Biomes:
 How
does it work?
Biomes:
 How
does it work?
–Climate determines the
kinds of plant species that
can survive.
Biomes:
 How
does it work?
–Climate determines the kinds
of plant species that can
survive.
–Plants determine the kinds of
animals that can survive.
Biomes:
 Biodiversity:
Biomes:
 Biodiversity:
Includes the
variations within a species, the
variety of species and habitat
types within an area.
Biomes:
 Biodiversity:
Includes the
variations within a species, the
variety of species and habitat
types within an area.
 Limiting
Factors:
Biomes:
 Biodiversity:
Includes the
variations within a species, the
variety of species and habitat
types within an area.
 Limiting
Factors: Any factor
that prevent a population from
growing larger.
