Ecosystems, Watersheds & Conservation — Chapter overview · Science 6: Matter, Energy & Earth Systems, Grade 6
What can resource pathways and comparable records reveal about an ecosystem? Does the supplied buffer model change runoff and sediment under matched conditions, and what does that imply for a real watershed?
Chapter question
What can resource pathways and comparable records reveal about an ecosystem?
Units in this chapter
- Unit 7.1 · Ecosystems, Habitats & Biomes
I can distinguish a habitat, a population, a community and an ecosystem.
- Unit 7.2 · Food Chains, Food Webs & Energy Flow
I can explain why energy flows through an ecosystem while matter cycles within it.
- Unit 7.3 · Cycling Matter Through Organisms & Environment
I can trace a carbon atom through at least four stages of the carbon cycle.
- Unit 7.4 · Human Impacts, Conservation & Tradeoffs
I can explain why habitat loss affects more species than hunting does.
- Unit 7.5 · Watersheds, Water Quality & Sampling Limits
I can explain what a watershed is and why upstream land use affects downstream water.
