environment: 4 spheres
1.1 Biosphere = Space occupied by life 1.2 Atmosphere = Space occupied by air 1.3 Lithosphere = Space occupied by solid 1.4 Hydrosphere = Space occupied by water

Ecology
Ecology
= oikos (home) + ology (study) The study of relationship between life and their surrounding environment
Ecosystem
Ecosystem
is a kind of relation structure between life and environment where they live In each ecosystem, each life needs a minimum space that suitable for surviving there life The biggest ecosystems is an earth called biosphere
Types of ecosystem
Natural
1.1Aquatic ecosystem
2. Urban-industrial ecosystem
This ecosystem requires synthetic energy produced by human to move the system
3. Agricultural ecosystem
The system is modified from natural environment in order to create new aspect of system to meet the need of human
Composition of ecosystem
1.Abiotic component 2.Biotic component
1. Abiotic component 1.1 Inorganic substance (CO2, H20, O2, etc.) 1.2 Organic substance (protine, carbohydrate, humus,etc.) 1.3 Physical environment (sunlight, temperature, humidity, etc.)
2. Biotic component 2.1 Producer : - the head water of food chain - self-production of food by synthesizing solar radiation (photosynthesis) and natural substances - Green plants, phytoplankton, bacteria
2.2 Consumer : consumer : herbivorous - Primary - Secondary consumer : carnivorous - Tertiary consumer : Omnivorous
2.2 Decomposer
Decomposer is the end-route of food chain. It will produce enzyme to digest carcass of dead plant and animals and turn to be necessary substances for growth of producer

- the two factors let the need of land areas and natural resources to produce goods in order to meet the sufficient requirement of food, medicine, shelter, energy,etc. has been increasing so far
Effect of Carbon dioxide on change of global temperature - Before industrial revolution (1750 1800), level of carbon dioxide in global atmosphere was approximately 270 ppm - Nowadays, level of carbon dioxide in global atmosphere is approximately 356 ppm - Scientists estimate level of carbon dioxide in global atmosphere will be double within the next decade
Burning of forest stand by natural forest fire and agricultural practices Carbon is stored in tree wood by the process of carbon sequestration
In 1996, The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) predicted the affectation of global warming caused by Greenhouse gases in the near future would be: - Average temperature may increase 2 0C in the year 2100 - Mean sea level (MSL) may increase up to 15 95 cm in the year 2100 due to the melting of iceberg in the north and south poles (this may cause many seashore areas and islands to sink beneath the sea)
- Approximately 1 in 7 of the wild plants of the worlds forest lands would be changed in their characteristics (many species would be extinguished) especially within the temperate zones
