Core Biology - Environmental Sciences

The wonders of ecology and ecosystems revealed!
This program’s new and exciting approach to presenting the core principles of environmental sciences will ensure successful student learning. Beginning with the classification of biomes in 1920, the program discusses the important elements that created the discipline of environmental science in the 20th century. The program outlines the theory of plant succession, the twin developments of ecology and ecosystems, the concept of niche, the five kingdoms of life and ends with the Gaia hypothesis and the coining of the term “biodiversity”.
