Blog #11 Describe 3 abiotic factors that could affect biotic potential (population growth) and how they would affect it.

Pollution- pollution produced by humans activies affects the population and biotic potential greatly. Global warming for example, which is caused by humans change the environment that animals live i and can cause them to go extinct. Polar bears, for example are already dying off because global warming is causing the ice caps to melt.
Humidity- it is also another factor that affects animals and population. Some plants are mostly water starved, so humidity plays a large role in their biology.
Pressure- an abiotic factor that mostly affects underwater sea animal population. Marine biomes are affected because many sea organisms can only survive under a certain amount of pressure.

Blog #10: Describe why sampling is important to the study of populations

Sampling is very important to the study of the population because we know how their species live and where they ahve traveled for a period of time. It allows us to keep track of what is happening to the population of specific type of species. It also allows us to record more information about them and tag them. Sampling a species will allow us to know more about their inner self and allow us to even help breed more of their species.

Blog #9 Which biome would you most like to visit? Why?

The biome that i would like to visit the most is the tropical rainforest. I would like to visit the tropical rainforest because i would like to see all of the many exotic species it contains. The tropical rainforest is home to more than 50% of all the species on the planet. Even though we did not discover all of the species, it leaves a curious mind so that people won't destroy it. I would like to be like tarzan and be one with the animals in the rainforest. I think that the weather would also be very comfortable.
