He coined the term 'ecology' or 'oekologie' in 1866, defining it as 'the comprehensive science of the relationship of the organism to its environment. - Ernst Haeckel, It also mission-oriented: it implies that we all have a responsibility to get involved and try to do something about the problems that we have created. - Environmental Science, According to one of the principles, among all creatures, humans are the only ones made in God’s image and have been given the right to have dominion over all His creations. - Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of God's creation, It is defined as something that cannot be replenished through natural cycles. - Non-renewable resources, He wrote the first significant textbook and is often identified as the founder of ecology. - Eugenius Warming, It includes physical properties, which can be described as the sum of local abiotic factors such as insolation (sunlight), climate and geology, and biotic factors, which are other organisms that share its habitat. - Environment of an organism, It is the lowest level of organization, which includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms. - Organism, It is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of life and the interactions between organisms and their environment. - Ecology, It derived from knowing in Latin is a process for producing knowledge. - Science, It is the progressive change in plant and animal life of an area. - Succession, It is the functional role and position of an organism in the ecosystem. - Niche, It is usually more focused on how organisms interact with each other and with their immediate surroundings. - Ecology, They are closely related disciplines, and familiarity with the principles of one is essential to fully understanding the other. - Ecology and Environmental Science, It is a place where an organism lives and able to survive and reproduce. - Habitat, It is the global ecological system which consists of all the living organisms and other factors which support life. - Biosphere, According to one of the principles, the environment is constantly changing. - Everything changes, It is a group of individuals of a single species living together within a particular geographic area. - Population, Since humans inhabit the natural world as well as the “built or technological, social and cultural world, all constitute important parts of our _____. - environment, We, humans have used the world’s environment, including its _____, with little knowledge or understanding of the consequences of our actions. - resources, According to one of the principles, everything ends up elsewhere; it doesn’t just disappear. - Everything must go somewhere, It refers to the several populations that interact and inhabit a common environment and are interdependent. - Community, According to one of the principles, this is the most basic principle of all the principles. - Nature knows best, They are capable of manipulating creation to their own advantage. - Humans, It is the systematic study of our environment and place in it. - Environmental Science, It came from the French environner: to encircle or surround) can be defined as: (1) The circumstances and conditions that surround an organism or a group of organisms; - Environment, It provides a certain species or population with food, shelter, temperature, water and whatever it is that they need to _____. - survive, According to one of the principles, in an ecosystem, all biotic and abiotic components interact with each other to ensure that the system is sustained. - Everything is connected to everything else, It rests on the assumptions that the world is knowable and that we can learn about how things work through careful empirical study and logical analysis. - Science, It is as a broad term, encompasses all that surround us, natural world in which we live, and all the things that are produced by people. - Environment, It is a set of all living species and abiotic components existing and interacting in a given area. - Ecosystem, It depends on making precise observations of natural phenomena on formulating reasonable theories to make sense out of those _____. - observations, According to one of the principles, each organism plays a fundamental role in nature. - All forms of life are important, We humans have to understand nature and follow its rules, because if we want to ensure a continuous and steady supply of resources, one must not go against _____. - natural processes, They also incorporate knowledge of social organization, politics, in the humanities, in other words, environmental science is inclusive and holistic. - Environmental Scientists, It is defined as something that can be easily replenished by natural cycles. - Renewable resources, It is located nearest to the polar region. Summer are short and winter are long and dark. - Tundra, It is shallow above the continental shelf, with more nutrients and organisms because sunlight penetrates the waters up to the bottom. - Neritic Province, It is mostly found in warm shallow waters. Can be found as barriers along continents such as Australia’s Great barrier reef, fringing islands, and atolls. - Coral reefs, It is located south of the taiga in eastern North America, eastern Asia and much of Europe. - Temperate Deciduous Forest, It is the topmost zone near the shore of a lake or pond; the warmest zone. - Littoral Zone, It refers to the area above the high tide mark. - Supratidal, It has a depth of up to 3,000 meters, which is the lower part of the ocean, completely in darkness. - Bathyal Zone, It refers to ocean floor of the abyssal zone, interrupted by many underwater mountain chains called oceanic ridges. - Abyssal Plain, It is a sudden drop of the ocean floor from the continental shelf up to the abyssal plain. - Continental Slope, It refers to the area between high and low tide mark. - Intertidal, It is located at about 30 degrees, in both Northern and Southern hemispheres. - Deserts, It is generally cold. Mammals such as dolphins and whales can be found here as wells as many species of fishes. - Pelagic Division, It is the deeper water where velocity of current is reduced and silt and other loose materials settle to the bottom providing a soft substrate. - Pool Zone, It extends beyond 60 degrees north and south latitudes. - Polar Zone, It is located just below the tundra extending in a broad belt across northern Eurasia and North America. - Taiga (Boreal Forest), It refers to the floor of the neritic province. - Continental Shelf, The study of marine habitats. - Oceanography, The study of freshwater habitats. - Limnology, The bodies of water flowing in one direction. Rivers and streams usually get their start from lakes and springs and travel all the way to their mouths, usually to another water channel such as the ocean. - Estuary, It includes the depths of the sea – light hardly penetrates; water is very cold. - Benthic Division, It is characterized by deep, rich soil perfect agriculture, an absence of trees, and presence of large herds of grazing animals. - Grassland (Savanna), It refers to the area below the low tide mark. - Subtidal, It has a depth beyond 4,000 m. - Hadal Zone, It is usually found in regions near the equator. The richest biomes in terms of biodiversity. - Tropical Rain Forest, It is deep-water part of the lake; much colder and denser; little light penetrate here. - Profundal Zone, It has a depth of up to 4,000 meters, making it the deepest and coldest part of the oceans, highly pressurized. - Abyssal Zone, The region of the open sea beyond the continental shelf, above the oceanic basins. - Oceanic Province, It has a depth of up to 120 m, which is the upper part of the ocean where light can penetrate. - Euphotic Zone, The region that extends from the equator to about 30 degrees north and south latitudes. - Tropical Zone, It extends from 30 degrees to about 60 degrees north and south latitudes. - Temperate Zone, It refers to a large geographical region that has a particular type of climax community. - Biome, It is a shallow water where velocity of current is great enough to keep the bottom clear of silt and other loose materials providing a firm substrate. - Rapid Zone, This ponds and lakes may have limited diversity of species since both bodies of water are isolated from other sources like rivers and oceans. - Lentic or standing water, It is near-surface open water; well lighted. - Limnetic Zone, It is the bodies of water flowing in one direction. Channel such as the ocean, rivers and streams usually get their start from lakes and springs and travel all the way to their mouths, usually to another water. - Lotic or running water,
