Balancing Ecosystems
Resource: Gamescape Episode 1 and Ch. 5 and 6 of Visualizing Environmental Science.
Complete Episode 1: "Balancing Ecosystems" of Gamescape.
Write a 350- to 700-word letter to the City Council in neighboring
Glimmerville. In your letter, explain the situation with the Grass Carp and
some of the challenges faced in restoring balance to Sparksville's aquatic
ecosystem. Since Glimmerville is experiencing a similar situation, provide
advice on how to restore their lake ecosystem. Include the following points in
your letter:
- What is ecosystem balance? Which reduction
factors and which growth factors impacted ecosystem balance in Episode 1?
Describe two ways in which the invasive species and native species impact
ecosystem balance.
- Based on Episode 1 and the assigned readings,
describe how native and invasive species might affect succession. How
might an invasive species impact the natural selection of the native
species within a habitat? Describe how native and invasive species affect
the flow of energy in an ecosystem?
- Describe four possible solutions to the Grass
Carp invasion problem. Describe one advantage and one disadvantage for
each solution.
- As you learned in Chapters 5 and 6 of
Environmental Science, the flow of energy, species interactions, and
natural selection change over time. Since ecosystems and species are in
flux, why should humans strive to restore and maintain ecosystem balance?
Use one example from Episode 1 and one example from the assigned reading
materials to support your points. Why is sustainability important to
these environmental concerns?
