Managing ecosystems and biodiversity

Strictly follows the A-level Cambridge Environmental management new syllabus for examinations from 2022. A great resource for both teachers and students- a remedy since Cambridge has no resource yet for this syllabus. It is also useful for any environmental studies, Biology and even Geography at all levels. Contains high quality pictures which relevant direct links to Youtube videos. This resource covers-
Ecosystems
the world’s major terrestrial biomes in terms of their climate, soil type and vegetation
characteristics of primary and secondary succession from pioneer species through intermediate stages to a climax community
gross primary productivity and net primary productivity
ecosystem productivity as the rate of production of biomass for an ecosystem
Productivity within trophic levels
the efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels
Interpret and draw ecological pyramids based on numbers, biomass and energy
the shapes of ecological pyramids
Types of Ecological Pyramids
Managing the conservation of biodiversity
native species and invasive species
the impacts of invasive species on biodiversity
the benefits of conserving biodiversity
legislation and protocols as methods of conserving biodiversity
