(+info)Ecological and environmental processes refer to the complex interactions and relationships between living organisms and their physical surroundings. These processes can be biological, chemical, or physical in nature and they play a critical role in shaping the distribution and abundance of species, as well as the overall health and functioning of ecosystems.
Biological processes include things like predation, competition, and symbiosis, which describe how organisms interact with one another for resources and survival. Chemical processes involve the cycling of nutrients and energy through an ecosystem, such as the carbon cycle or nitrogen cycle. Physical processes include things like weather patterns, geological formations, and water cycles, which can all impact the distribution and diversity of species in an area.
Environmental processes can also refer to human activities that impact the environment, such as pollution, land use changes, and climate change. These processes can have significant consequences for both natural ecosystems and human health, making it essential to understand and manage them effectively.

- Ecological Tapestry of the World online explorer application: Explore the ecological data behind the land unit map and begin planning how it can be used in your work. (esri.com)
- This map as well as the data layers used to create it can be explored in a story map that introduces ecological land units. (esri.com)
- To create this map the data were processed in Esri's ArcGIS cloud computing environment. (esri.com)
- At its core, AI algorithms learn and improve by processing vast amounts of data. (khaleejtimes.com)
- As more data is processed, the predictions become more accurate. (khaleejtimes.com)
- Combining these individual data gives the total environmental impact of a product or process. (basf.com)
- Economic and ecological data are plotted on the Eco-Efficiency Portfolio. (basf.com)
Principles1
- This is accomplished through a broad curriculum that covers the fundamentals of biology, geology, chemistry, and physics and then moves students through key principles of environmental sciences. (csuchico.edu)
Interactions2
- The size of the system, the complexity of the interactions involved, or the difficulty and cost of the measurements needed are often crippling"[7] The terms ecological indicator and environmental indicator are often used interchangeably. (wikipedia.org)
- How does the timing of important actions in species annual cycles influence population growth rates and ecological interactions? (lu.se)
Models3
- AI-based technologies like intelligent garbage bins, classification robots, predictive models, and wireless detection enable the monitoring of waste bins, predict waste collection, and optimise the performance of waste processing facilities. (khaleejtimes.com)
- However, the IPCC models have no consistent representation of the environmental and ecological processes in the Twilight Zone. (eurekalert.org)
- The team will now work towards figuring out which processes in the Twilight Zone are the most important for biologically-driven carbon storage and updating ocean models so they can reliably predict future changes. (eurekalert.org)
Application1
- The bill establishes seven new grant programs under one application process. (peoplesworld.org)
Health3
- What are some of the environmental and health issues surrounding nitrate in groundwater, and options to resolve them? (environmental-expert.com)
- Currently he is a Visiting Scholar at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, United States of America, Department of Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences, University of Washington School of Public Health, Seattle, WA. (cdc.gov)
- Captured in Puerto Rico in 1962, this image depicted Dr. Frederick F. Ferguson, former Chief of the Tropical Disease Section, in the Ecological Investigations Program, National Communicable Disease Center, Public Health Service (PHS), Bureau of Disease Prevention and Environmental Control, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW).

Sciences2
- Whether you're an environmental sciences graduate seeking additional training, or you've studied a related subject and wish to advance your environmental knowledge and skills, this course is ideal. (uea.ac.uk)
- You can also choose modules from other schools if they contribute to your study in the field of environmental sciences. (uea.ac.uk)
Development2
- Using the IEF means that environmental issues and priorities are addressed early in the planning and development stages. (dot.gov)
- The IEF fosters collaboration early in the planning stage, enabling state DOTs to minimize or entirely avoid time-consuming mitigation activities during the project development process. (dot.gov)
