REMEMBERING
|
Recall concepts of community, succession, ecological factors,
ecosystem types, population characteristics, biogeochemical cycles,
and environmental issues (greenhouse gases, acid rain, ozone
depletion, etc.).

CO2
|
UNDERSTANDING
|
Explain community stratification, succession processes, ecological
adaptations, ecosystem components, interrelationships (mutualism,
parasitism, predation, etc.), and causes/effects of global
environmental problems.
|
|
Identify zonations in marine/terrestrial ecosystems, apply knowledge
of food chains & food webs to real examples, and demonstrate
conservation practices (soil/forest).
|
||
|
Compare hydrosere vs. xerosere succession, analyze population
dynamics (size, density, age structure), and examine ecological
interactions (competition vs. predation).
|
||
|
Assess significance of succession, evaluate effects of eutrophication,
biomagnification, and global warming, and judge effectiveness of
conservation measures.
|
||
|
Design ecological models of food webs, propose strategies for natural
resource management, and create action plans to reduce carbon
footprints and mitigate climate change.
