            • Introduction - MST4.C.LE.LE.6.Introduction:

              The fundamental concept of ecology is that living organisms interact with and are dependent on their environment and each other. These interactions result in a flow of energy and a cycling of materials that are essential for life.

              Competition can occur between members of different species for an ecological niche. Competition can also occur within species. Competition may be for abiotic resources, such as space, water, air, and shelter, and for biotic resources such as food and mates. Students should be familiar with the concept of food chains and webs.

              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.LE.LE.6.3a:
                The interrelationships and interdependencies of organisms affect the development of stable ecosystems.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.LE.LE.6.3b:
                Through ecological succession, all ecosystems progress through a sequence of changes during which one ecological community modifies the environment, making it more suitable for another community. These long-term gradual changes result in the community reaching a point of stability that can last for hundreds or thousands of years.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.LE.LE.6.3c:
                A stable ecosystem can be altered, either rapidly or slowly, through the activities of organisms (including humans), or through climatic changes or natural disasters. The altered ecosystem can usually recover through gradual changes back to a point of long- term stability.
