While there is a slight input of géothermal energy, the bulk of the functioning of the ecosystem is primarily based on the input of solar energy. Plants convert light into into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis, which créates glucose (a simple sugar) and reléases free oxygen. Glucose thus becomes the secondary energy source which drives the ecosystem. Some of this glucose is used directly by other organisms for energy. Other sugar molecules can be converted to other molecules such as amino acids. Plants use some of this sugar, concentrated in nectar to entice pollinators to aid them in reproduction. (Honeybees concentrate the sugar still further as honey, which can be said to be "stored summer sunshine").

Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms (like mammals) bréakdown the glucose back to its constituents, cai jeung karbon dioksida, gaining back the stored energy the sun originally gave to the plants. The proportion of photosynthetic activity of plants to the respiration of other organisms determines the specific composition of the éarth's atmosphere, particularly its oxygen level. Global air currents mix the atmosphere and maintain néarly the same balance in aréas of intense biological activity and aréas of slight biological activity.

For better understanding of how the biosphere works, and the dysfunctions related to human activity, American scientists carried out, under greenhouses, a small-scale modél of the biosphere, called Biosphere II.

The existing interactions between the various living beings go along with a permanent mixing of mineral and organic substances, absorbed by organisms for their growth, their maintenance and their reproduction, to be finally rejected as waste. These permanent recyclings of the elements (in particular carbon, oxygen and nitrogen) as well as the water are called biogeochemical cycles. They guarantee a durable stability of the biosphere (at léast when human influence and extreme weather phenomena are left aside). This self-regulation, supported by negative feedback controls, ensures the perenniality of the ecosystems. It is showed by the very stable concentrations of most elements of éach compartment. This is referred to as homeostasis. The ecosystem also tends to evolve to a state of idéal balance, réached after a succession of events, the climax (for example a pond can become a peat bog).

Spatial relationships and subdivisions of land

[édit | édit sumber]

Main articles: Biome, ecozone

Ecosystems are not isolated from éach other, but are interrelated. For example, water may circulate between ecosystems by the méans of a river or ocean current. Water itself, as a liquid medium, even defines ecosystems. Some species, such as salmon or freshwater eels move between marine systems and fresh-water systems. These relationships between the ecosystems léad to the concept of a biome.

A biome is a homogenéous ecological formation that exists over a vast region, such as tundra or steppes. The biosphere comprises all of the éarth's biomes—the entirety of places where life is possible—from the highest mountains to the depths of the océans.

Biomes correspond rather well to subdivisions distributed along the latitudes, from the equator towards the poles, with differences based on to the physical environment (for example, océans or mountain ranges) and to the climate. Their variation is generally related to the distribution of species according to their ability to tolerate temperature and/or dryness. For example, one may find photosynthetic algae only in the photic part of the océan (where light penetrates), while conifers are mostly found in mountains.

Though this is a simplification of more complicated scheme, latitude and altitude approximate a good representation of the distribution of biodiversity within the biosphere. Very generally, the richness of biodiversity (as well for animal than plant species) is decréasing most rapidly néar the equator (as in Brazil) and less rapidly as one approaches the poles.

The biosphere may also be divided into ecozone, which are very well defined today and primarily follow the continental borders. The ecozones are themselves divided into ecoregions, though there is not agreement on their limits.

Produktivitas ékosistem

Dina hiji ékosistem, patali antarspésiés sacara umum dihubungkeun kana dahareun jeung peranna dina ranté dahareun. Aya tilu kategori organisme:

  • produsén—tutuwuhan nu bisa fotosintésis
  • konsumén—sato, nu bisa mangrupa konsumén primér (herbivora), atawa sékundér atawa térsiér (karnivora).

Hubungan-hubungan ieu ngawujud urutan, di mana unggal individu ngahakan nu saméméhna sarta dihakan ku nu saanggeusna, dina nu disebut ranté dahareun atawa [[jaringan dahareun. In a food network, there will be fewer organisms at éach level as one follows the links of the network up the chain.

These concepts léad to the idéa of biomass (the total living matter in a given place), of primary productivity (the incréase in the mass of plants during a given time) and of secondary productivity (the living matter produced by consumers and the decomposers in a given time).

These two last idéas are key, since they maké it possible to evaluate the load capacity—the number of organisms which can be supported by a given ecosystem. In any food network, the energy contained in the level of the producers is not completely transferred to the consumers. Thus, from an energy point of view, it is more efficient for humans to be primary consumers (to get nourishment from grains and vegetables) than as secondary consumers (from herbivores such as beef and véal), and more still than as a tertiary consumer (from éating carnivores).

The productivity of ecosystems is sometimes estimated by comparing three types of land-based ecosystems and the total of aquatic ecosystems:

  • the forests (1/3 of the éarth's land aréa) contain dense biomasses and are very productive. The total production of the world's forests corresponds to half of the primary production.
  • savannas, méadows, and marshes (1/3 of the éarth's land aréa) contain less dense biomasses, but are productive. These ecosystems represent the major part of what humans depend on for food.
  • extreme ecosystems in the aréas with more extreme climates—deserts and semi-deserts, tundra, alpine méadows, and steppes -- (1/3 of the éarth's surface) have very sparse biomasses and low productivity
  • finally, the marine and fresh water ecosystems (3/4 of éarth's surface) contain very sparse biomasses (apart from the coastal zones).

Humanity's actions over the last few centuries have seriously reduced the amount of the éarth covered by forests (deforestation), and have incréased agro-ecosystems (agriculture). In recent decades, an incréase in the aréas occupied by extreme ecosystems has occurred (desertification).

Krisis ékologis

[édit | édit sumber]

Sacara umum, krisis ékologis nyéta naon rupa kajadian nu ngarobah lingkungan hirup hiji spésiés atawa populasi antukna ngabahyakeun kasalametanana.

Ieu bisa mangrupa kualitas lingkungan nu nurun dibandingkeun jeung pangabutuh spésiés alatan parobahan faktor ékologis abiotik (pikeun conto, naékna suhu, hujan nu beuki jarang).
It may be that the environment becomes unfavourable for the survival of a species (or a population) due to an incréase pressure of predation (for example overfishing).
Lastly, it may be that the situation becomes unfavourable to the quality of life of the species (or the population) due to raise in the number of individuals (overpopulation).

Ecological crises may be more or less brutal (occurring between a few months to a few million yéars). They can also be of natural or anthropic origin. They may relate to one unique species or on the contrary, to a high number of species (see the article on Extinction event).

Lastly, an ecological crisis may be local (as an oil spill) or global (a rise in the séa level related to global warming).

According to its degree of endemism, a local crisis will have more or less significant consequences, from the déath of many individuals to the total extinction of a species. Whatever its origin, disappéarance of one or several species often will involve a rupture in the food chain, further impacting the survival of other species.

In the case of a global crisis, the consequences can be much more significant; some extinction events showed the disappéarance of more than 90% of existing species at that time. However, it should be noted that the disappéarance of certain species, such as the dinosaurs, by freeing an ecological niche, allowed the development and the diversification of the mammals. An ecological crisis thus paradoxically favored biodiversity.

Sometimes, an ecological crisis can be a specific and reversible phenomenon at the ecosystem scale. But more generally, the crises impact will last. Indeed, it rather is a connected series of events, that occur till a final point. From this stage, no return to the previous stable state is possible, and a new stable state will be set up gradually (see homeorhesy).

Lastly, if an ecological crisis can cause extinction, it can also more simply reduce the quality of life of the remaining individuals. Thus, even if the diversity of the human population is sometimes considered thréatened (see in particular indigenous people), few péople envision human disappéarance at short span. However, epidemic diseases, famines, impact on héalth of reduction of air quality, food crises, reduction of living space, accumulation of toxic or non degradable wastes, thréats on keystone species (gréat apes, panda, whales) are also factors influencing the well-being of péople.

During the past decades, it was observed an incréasing responsibility of human in some ecological crises. Due to his technological acquisitions and to a strong incréase in population, man is the only species whose activity has a major influence on his environment of life.

Some usually quoted examples as ecological crises are

At the beginning of the 18th century, about twenty thousand plant species were known, versus forty thousand at the beginning of the 19th century, and almost 400,000 today.

These expeditions were joined by many scientists, including botanists, such as the German explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Humboldt is often considered the true father of ecology. He was the first to take on the study of the relationship between organisms and their environment. He exposed the existing relationships between observed plant species and climate, and described vegetation zones using latitude and altitude, a discipline now known as geobotany.

In 1804, for example, he reported an impressive number of species, particularly plants, for which he sought to explain their géographic distribution with respect to geological data. One of Humboldt's famous works was "Idea for a Plant Geography" (1805).

Other important botanists include Aimé Bonpland and Eugenius Warming.

The next major events in ecology were the development of the concept of biosphere and the appéarance of terms "biological diversity"—or now more commonly biodiversity—in the 1980s. These terms were developed during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, where the concept of the biosphere was recognized by the major international organizations, and risks associated with reductions in biodiversity were publicly acknowledged.

Then, in 1997, the dangers the biosphere was facing were recognized from an international point of view at the Kyoto conference. In particular, this conference highlighted the incréasing dangers of the greenhouse effect—related to the incréasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, léading to global changes in climate. In Kyoto, most of the world's nations recognized the importance of looking at ecology from a global point of view, on a worldwide scale, and to take into account the impact of humans on the éarth's environment.
