- Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems - NASA Earthdata
Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems NASA’s Earth science data show the impact of humans on the planet through studying factors like nighttime lights, land cover, and agriculture
- HS-LS2-6 - Maryland Sea Grant
Standards: Life Science, Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems Performance Expectations: Evaluate the claims, evidence and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem
- Sea Ice Age - NASA Earthdata
Sea ice is an important part of Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems, providing a habitat for primary producers such as algae and plankton to thrive Ships hoping to safely navigate polar waters must also pay close attention to sea ice To properly understand changes in sea ice over time, scientists need robust data about the age of sea ice around the world
- Biodiversity Functions | NASA Earthdata
NASA Earth observation data help researchers understand biodiversity issues such as species distribution, forest health, and water resource management
- Ecosystems and Restoration - Maryland Sea Grant
The Chesapeake Bay is a productive and unique ecosystem, home to complex networks of animals, plants, and other organisms that have lived here for millennia Woven into this tapestry are human communities, some of which can trace back their histories hundreds of years
- Montane Habitats | NASA Earthdata
The zone in mountainous regions where the influence of altitude (vertical relief) results in local climatic regimes that are sufficiently different from those in the adjacent lowlands as to cause a complex vertical climate-vegetation-soil zonation Definition source: National Park Service
- Net Carbon Dioxide and Water Fluxes of Global Terrestrial Ecosystems . . .
The variability of net surface carbon assimilation (Asmax), net ecosystem surface respiration (Rsmax), and net surface evapotranspiration (Etsmax) among and within vegetation types was examined based on a review of studies performed in either a micrometeorological setting or an enclosure setting The majority of studies involved forests and C3 crops, particularly in the northern hemisphere
- Earth Observations of Blue Carbon Ecosystems - Earthdata
Blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangroves, salt marshes, and sea grasses, are a key aspect of nature-based climate solutions because of high carbon sequestration rates, long-term burial of carbon in sediments, potential for restoration, and connections to many additional ecosystem services
