Exploring Key Concepts in Ecology and Environmental Management

This comprehensive overview covers significant ecological concepts such as acute studies, adaptation, and agroforestry, highlighting their applications in resilience and biodiversity management. Key processes like adiabatic cooling and heating demonstrate environmental interactions, while concepts like affluence and age structure analyze population dynamics. An adaptive management plan is also discussed, emphasizing flexibility in environmental stewardship. This resource serves as a valuable reference for understanding ecological principles and their relevance in contemporary ecological research and management.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Acute Study An experiment that exposes organisms to an environmental hazard for a short duration Application: Resilience and resistance

  2. Adaptation A trait that improves and individual’s fitness Application: Biodiversity

  3. Adaptive Management Plan A plan that provides flexibility so that managers can modify it as changes occurs Application:

  4. Adiabatic Cooling The cooling effect of reduced pressure on air as it rises higher in the atmosphere and expands Application:

  5. Adiabatic Heating The heating effect of increased pressure on air as it sinks toward the surface of Earth and decreases in volume Application:

  6. Affluence The state of having plentiful wealth; the possession of money, goods or property Application:

  7. Age Structure A description of how many individuals fit into particular age categories Application:

  8. Age Structure Diagram A diagram that shows the numbers of individuals within each age category, typically expressed for males and females separately Application:

  9. Agribusiness See industrial agriculture Agriculture that applies the techniques of mechanization and standardization Application:

  10. Agroforestry An agricultural technique in which trees and vegetables are intercropped Application:
