Ecosystems: Climate, Biomes, and Management
Ecosystems
–
we are revising topic
3.1.3
today
3.1.1 What is the relationship between climate and biomes at a
global scale?
3.1.2 What physical processes and interactions operate
within ecosystems?
3.1.3 How are small scale ecosystems in the UK used and
managed?
3.1.1 The location and distribution of biomes at a global scale
and their relationship to climate zones. An overview of the
characteristics and interdependence of climate, soils,
vegetation, animals and humans in
two
contrasting biomes.
Coverage must include hot semi-arid grasslands
(note the link to
the study of hot semi-arid climate in 2.3.2 and to the
relationship between changing climatic patterns and the
environment in 3.4.1)
and
one
other biome.
3.1.2 The physical processes that link living/biotic components
(plants, animals, decomposers) and non-living/abiotic
components (temperature, light, moisture) in hot semi-arid
grasslands and
one
other biome. Coverage must include
nutrient stores and flows, energy flows and food webs
(producers, primary, secondary and tertiary consumers). The
concept of biodiversity.
3.1.3 The characteristics of one small scale ecosystem in the
UK. The benefits of the ecosystem for local communities. The
challenges of managing the ecosystem and how different
stakeholders perceive its value.

mean?
(get your answer in the
right order)
3.
What is a primary consumer?
4.
What is an omnivore?
5.
What is the name of the area
where we studied a sand dune
ecosystem?
Answers:
1.
Biome
2.
Plants and animals
3.
Something that eats plants. It
’
s
the same as a herbivore
4.
An animal that eats both plants
and other animals
5.
Studland in Dorset
Three parts to this revision
1.
What are the characteristics
of a sand dune ecosystem?
2.
How do they benefit local
communities?
3.
What management issues are
there for looking after sand
dune ecosystems?
Revision Task:
Read through p.240-241 and
answer q.3
(make sure you know the
answers to q. 1 as well but you don’t
need to write them down)

3.
What management issues are

Revision tasks:
1/ Name as many stakeholders for
the Studland sand dune ecosystem
2/ For 4 or 5 of them write down
how the sand dunes may benefit
them.
3/ Read pages 244-45. Answer q 1
but also include how the
stakeholders you listed may be
affected by each management
strategy
Explore the relationship between climate and biomes on a global scale, focusing on hot semi-arid grasslands and one other biome. Learn about the physical processes linking living and non-living components in ecosystems, such as nutrient cycles and food webs. Discover how small-scale ecosystems in the UK are utilized and managed, with a specific look at Sand dunes and their benefits, challenges, and stakeholder involvement.
