TERMINOLOGY OF ECOLOGY part 2

TERMINOLOGY OF ECOLOGY  Ecological Succession: Vegetation is hardly stable, and thus dynamic, changing over time and space. Although comparatively less evident than vegetation, animal populations, particularly lower forms, also show dynamic character to some extent. Succession is a natural process by which different groups or communities colonize the same area over a period of time in a definite...

TERMINOLOGY OF ECOLOGY part 1

TERMINOLOGY OF ECOLOGY Species: A species is a natural biological unit tied together by the sharing of a common gene pool. It can be also defined as a uniform interbreeding population spread over time and space. Vegetation: The collective and continuous growth of plants in space is called vegetation. Thus, vegetation is actually the totality of plant growth, including large or small populations...

Nitrogen Cycle

 Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen is required for the manufacturing of all amino acids and nucleic acids; however, the average organism cannot use atmospheric nitrogen for these tasks and as a result is dependent on the nitrogen cycle as a source for its usable nitrogen. The nitrogen cycle begins with nitrogen stored in the atmosphere as N2 or nitrogen stored in the soil as ammonium (NH4+), ammonia (NH3),...

Hydrologic Cycle (Water Cycle)

 Hydrologic Cycle (Water Cycle) Water is always on the move. Rain falling where you live may have been water in the ocean just days before. And the water you see in a river or stream may have been snow on a high mountaintop. Water can be in the atmosphere, on the land, in the ocean, and even underground. It is recycled over and over through the water cycle. In the cycle, water changes state...

Constituents of Atom

Constituents of Atom  An atom consists of three fundamental particles: (i) Electron: The presence of electrons was discovered by J.J. Thomson. Electrons are negatively charged particles revolving around the nucleus in orbits of fixed energy. (ii) Proton: The proton was observed by Goldstein in 1896. Protons are positively charged particles resid- ing in the nucleus.  (iii)Neutron: Neutron...

Isostasy

Isostasy  is the state of gravitational equilibrium between Earth's crust and mantle such that the crust "floats" at an elevation that depends on its thickness and density.This concept is invoked to explain how different topographic heights can exist at Earth's surface. When a certain area of Earth's crust reaches the state of isostasy, it is said to be in isostatic equilibrium. Isostasy does...
