Notes

ecological succession are the series of changes that occur in an ecosystem overtime, this is kind of like if you look back, the history log
This can also occur from ecological damage or an artificial change made by a ecosystem engineer

logistic growth is where population growth decreases as resources become scarce

urban sprawl is where humans settle somewhere, ex clearing and draining a natural wetland to allow for urbanization

commensalism is where one organism will benefit from another organism without affecting that other organism, this is a relationship between 2 organisms

ecosystem services are the different services that different organisms provide to benefit the entire ecosystem

habitat fragmentation is when a large habitat is divided into smaller habitats that are isolated from each other, think defrag on hdds, since defrag joins up the isolated sectors and brings them together into a bigger sector,some fish in Toronto are victims of habitat fragmentation where its habitat just got scattered and isolated due to humans

environmental stewardship is the responsible use and the protection of the environment, becoming a responsible earth-caring citizen
