INDEX of GCSE level biology exam revision notes on ECOLOGY

including ecosystems, biotic and abiotic factors, organism interactions, interdependence, parasitic, mutual relationships, interdependence, environmental changes, effects on populations

These pages will help you answer questions such as ...  

What is an ecosystem?  What are biotic factors?  What are abiotic factors?  

Why do populations of species rise and fall?  

How do environmental changes affect communities?

Sub-index for these pages on ecosystems

(there is some deliberate overlap between these pages)

(1) Introduction: Ecology and ecosystems: technical terms and definitions explained

(2) Types of competition for resources for both plants and animals

(3) Effects of environmental changes on communities - introduction and abiotic factors

(4) Methods of surveying-monitoring pollution - measuring abiotic factors

(5) Changes in communities - biotic factors and populations

(6) More examples of how a population might change in size when a biotic/abiotic factor changes

(7) More examples of interactions - interdependence and mutualism and parasitism

See also Ecological surveying - using quadrats and transects and two other important sections

Food chains and webs, trophic levels, pyramids of biomass & numbers, transfer efficiency

Biodiversity, land management, waste management, maintaining ecosystems - conservation
