How humans may have affected biogeochemical cycles in that ecosystem, including impacts to the nitrogen, phosphorus, or carbon cycle

Ecosystems Components

 

Select a representative natural ecosystem in your area or one that you are
interested in-such as a lake, preserve, or park-that is managed for native
species.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper explaining the following:

o The major structural and functional dynamics (processes) of that ecosystem
including change over time

o How humans may have affected biogeochemical cycles in that ecosystem,
including impacts to the nitrogen, phosphorus, or carbon cycle

o How knowledge about that ecosystem’s structure and function can help or has
helped to develop plans for its management and restoration

o The implication of species interactions in ecosystem management and
restoration
