For example inthe UAE there are only around 100, nesting hawksbill turtles left, and there have only been about 10 reported sightings ofthe beautifuland elusive sand eatin the ast decade or so. Globally, scientists and citizens alike are working hard to identify organisms that are at risk, and to conserve them. Buf the data is poor, the identification of the species is uncertain or the habitat is damaged or destroyed during the survey then, however well iis presented, the information i of no value to anyone. In this chapter, you wll learn about the nature of ecosystems. You will define the term and look at the variations in size, You will learn how rock is colonised and how ecosystems progress to maturity. You will ook athowliving ff and non-living factors affect the organisms which can survive in an ecosystem, and consider the importance of the niche tothe numbers of organisms in any habitat. You wll discover a variety of techniques that can be used to measure the abundance and distribution of ‘organisms in an ecosystem, and gain practical experience of as many of them as possible. You wil earn to select. the best ecological technique to use according tothe ecosystem and organisms you ae studying, Slow-moving animals and plants require different techniques to faster moving, lying r swimming organisms, Finally, you wil learn several statistical techniques that can be used to analyse the data you collet.
