AP Daily: AP Environmental Science (1.1)
Advanced Placement・2 minutes read
The text discusses ecosystems in AP Environmental Science, emphasizing predator-prey relationships and the impact of resource availability on species interactions. It also delves into the definition of ecosystems as the interaction between biotic and abiotic components and the various species interactions driven by resource availability.
Insights
- Ecosystems consist of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components, with biotic elements like producers and carnivores interacting with abiotic factors such as sunlight and soil.
- Species interactions within ecosystems are influenced by resource availability, leading to predator-prey relationships, symbiotic interactions, and competitive relationships that shape the dynamics of these environments.
