✽✽ Ecology Notes ✽✽
1 power point divided into 5 sections)
covers the following:

-Energy Flow in Ecosystems (primary productivity, trophic levels, producers/consumers, energy pyramids, biomass)
- Population Growth (dispersion, density, exponential vs. logistic growth, determining growth rate, density-independent vs. density dependent factors, r-strategists vs. K-strategists).
- Biogeochemical Cycles: Water, Carbon, Nitrogen
-Communities: Niche- fundamental vs. realized, invasive species, symbiosis + coevolution.
