You will write an APA-style research paper about your choice of ecosystem, including the following elements:

Describe where this type of ecosystem might be located. Name 1 specific example.


Describe nutrient cycling of carbon (i.e., the steps of the carbon cycle) using examples of living things specific to the ecosystem you have chosen.


Describe 1 natural and 1 human-caused disturbance to the ecosystem that you have chosen, and explain the damage done to the ecosystem.


Provide a specific example of 1 natural resource provided by the ecosystem that you have selected. (Note that air, water, and soil are common to all ecosystems.)

How can the one resource you have described be sustained into the future?


How can humans act as good stewards to assist the recovery of the ecosystem you have chosen after a disturbance? Provide 1 example specific to the ecosystem that you have chosen.


Recently research has focused on the role of biodiversity in the functioning of ecosystems, e.g., productivity, mineral cycling, etc. Among a number of concerns is the concept of redundancy. Fully discuss this concept in ecosystem functioning and what its advantages and shortcomings might be. Expand on redundancy by discussing new research on disassembly of communities in the context of redundancy.
