What is the carbon cycle? Why is it important? - Answer The carbon cycle is the mouvement of carbon between species, the earth, the atmosphere and oceans. Without carbon, ecosystems would not function and persist over time. Most exchanges involve the ocean. What are the crucial processes in the carbon cycle? Why are they important? - Answer Cellular respiration and photosynthesis. They cancel each other out so that there isn't too little CO2 (causing a frozen earth) or too much CO2 (causi...

Bio 1m03 Exam Question With Verified Answers Short term carbon cycle - answerPhotosynthesis to respiration Rates of respiration vs photosynthesis - answerRoughly equal Explain the seasonal variation in CO2 levels - answerFollows the seasonal activity of plants, plants become more active = less CO2 in the air. Plants die around winter seasons = more CO2 in the air. More pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere (where there are more plants) than the Southern Hemisphere. Equator remains largely...

This document provides notes on various lectures through Ecology 1000, an intro level ecology class. The notes go in depth about conservation of protected areas, climate change, policy, environmental science, evidence of global warming, the Keeling curve, stable isotope fragmentation, and more. Good study tool for final exam or any pre-reading for an intro level ecology class.

GGH2604_ SUMMARY NOTES. GGH2604 - People And The Environment. Geography offers a unique perspective on how human activities affect and influence ecological processes at different scales - The ANTHROPOCENE – the age of man - Evidenced by the widespread pollution & presence of artificial radioactive particles - Zalasiewicz (2016) -: sufficient evidence exists to suggest that the Anthropocene is a real ecological phenomenon with potential to be formalized within the Geological Time Scale” ...

Chapter 1.1 - 5.1 from 'Recipes of Science' and all lectures from Philosophy of Science of the first half of semester of year 2 from IBA (Tilburg University). The summary contains information from the lectures as well as information from the tutorials. By using a lot of examples it is easier to understand. I used different colors for different chapters which gives it a nice overview.
