Geography - Year 11 – Unit 3 – The Challenge of Resource Management and the Living World
Week 1: RAG
1. Ecosystem A natural system made up of plants and animals and the nonliving environment.
2. UK Ecosystem Example A pond. An example of a food chain would be: Decaying leaves, Midge Larva, Divingbeetles, Fish, Heron.
3. Potential human effectson ponds.
Fertilizer use can lead to Eutrophication, ponds may be drained to water crops, fish may beadded.
4. Natural changes toponds
Droughts could lower the level of the pond, prolonged rainfall could flood it, washing awaycreatures, silt could run into it causing it to become clogged.
5. Biome A global ecosystem, the main biomes are, polar, Tundra, coniferous forest, temperategrassland, temperate deciduous forest, Desert, Tropical grassland, Tropical Rainforest.
6. Tropical rainforests Tropical rainforests are the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet. They are mainlyfound between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn in South America, SE Asia and Africa.
7. Biodiversity The variety of plant and animal life in the world or a particular habitat.
8. Adaptation How plants and animals change to suit their environment. Examples - Plants have drip tipleaves that help water run off to stop them breaking, they also have waxy surfaces anddeep veins to get rid of water. Monkeys have claws to help them climb, thumbs to gripfruit and tails to balance, this is because their food is found high in the canopy.
9. Nutrient cycle Shows the movements of nutrients within an ecosystem. Most nutrients in the rainforestare stored in the biodiversity. This is because the litter layer rots down quickly due to themoisture and heat. Nutrients in the soil are quickly taken back into plants or are washedaway by the rain causing the soils to be
10. Deforestation The chopping down or removal of trees. In the Amazon, most deforestation is caused bycommercial farming, but mineral extraction, population growth subsistence farming androad building all cause deforestation.
Week 2:
11. Deforestation impacts The removal of trees is causing vast amounts of CO2 to be released into the atmosphereand the lack of trees is reducing the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere. Theremoval of trees is exposing the soil causing it to be washed away by the heavy rain.However there have been an improvement to the economy of Brazil and the variousmethods of deforestation provide a lot of jobs.
12. Sustainable management 1 - Replanting - this is where trees are replanted to replace those that are cut down.2 - Selective logging - this allows the removal of older more valuable trees but most are leftwhich preserves the overall forest.3 - Education - educating people in the international community to buy sustainably madeproducts.4 - Conservation swaps - this is where wealthy governments give money to poorercountries if they protect their forests.Reducing debt - richer countries may reduce debts on poorer countries if they protect theirforests.5 - international hardwood agreements - countries have made agreements not to importcertain hardwood species such as mahogany unless it is from a sustainable source..
13. Ecotourism This is where small scale tourism takes place. Its aim is to minimise the impact to the forestwhile providing jobs that will mean people do not have to remove the forest to makemoney. Ecotourism also raises awareness of rainforest issues to visitors.
14. Cold environments Areas that experience temperatures below freezing for long periods of time.
15. Adaptations Plants - often small, able to reproduce quickly due to the short growing season.Trees - evergreen to allow them to grow all year, have waxy needles to stop them freezing.Animals - usually thick fur to keep warm, often white to camouflage e.g.polar bear.
16. Low biodiversity Cold environments have low biodiversity, there are fewer plants and animals than in mostother ecosystems. This is because fewer animals have managed to adapt to the harshconditions.
17. Alaska Opportunities 1) Energy, especially oil and Gas.2) Mineral resources such as gold, silver and iron.3) Fishing, salmon, cod and crab4) Tourism - 2 million visitors per year.
12
18. Alaska Challenges 1 Extreme temperature - the low temperatures mean that buildings need to be well heatedand insulated, this makes them expensive. Roads will freeze making them dangerous, livingin cold environments is dangerous as mistakes like running out of petrol can kill you.
19. Alaska Challenges 2 Inaccessibility - Alaska is a long way from the rest of the UK making getting things in andout expensive, in Winter the sea may freeze, roads become blocked preventing peoplefrom getting around.
20. Alaska Challenges 3 Buildings and infrastructure, things can only get built in the summer which is very short.buildings have to be designed to cope with the low temperatures.
Week 3
21. Alaska a wildernessunder threat
Oil spills, overfishing, global warming, tourism, can all damage the fragile ecosystem.
22. Protecting Alaska 1 The use of technology - The trans Alaskan pipeline has been built so that oil is not need tobe transported as much by sea (icebergs etc), It is built off the ground to stop the icemelting,
23. Protecting Alaska 1 Governments - 9 million hectares have been protected in the Western Arctic Reserve.- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration oversees the sustainability
of the fishing industry.
24. Protecting Alaska 3 Conservation groups - such as Greenpeace monitor developments in Alaska and drawattention to poor management.
25. Increasing water supply Including Dams - storing water.Desalination - removing saltWater transfer - taking water from one area to another.
26. Lesotho highlands waterproject
Aims to store water in Dams and then transfer it in pipes to South Africa where it is moreneeded.
27. Lesotho highlands waterproject advantages
Lesotho - provides jobs, brings in money, supplies HEP to the country, improves standardsof living.SouthAfrica - Provides water to areas with little rainfall, provides safe water to 10% of thepopulation.
28. Lesotho highlands waterproject disadvantages
Lesotho - 30000 people had to move due to the dams flooding their land. The floodcontrol has disrupted a unique wetland wildlife ecosystem further downstream, some ofthe money made by Lesotho has been stolen.South Africa - Very expensive scheme, 40% of water is lost in leaks, people cannot afford topay for the water due to increases in costs.
29. Sustainable watermanagement
Water conservation, Groundwater management, Recycling water and Using Grey water.
30. The Wakel River Basin
project (India)
Taanka - Underground storage systems that collect rainwater.Johads - Small earth dams that capture rainwater.Pats - Irrigation channels that transfer water to the fields.

69. Nutrient cycle Shows the movements of nutrients within an ecosystem. Most nutrients in the rainforestare stored in the biodiversity. This is because the litter layer rots down quickly due to themoisture and heat. Nutrients in the soil are quickly taken back into plants or are washedaway by the rain causing the soils to be
70. Deforestation The chopping down or removal of trees. In the Amazon, most deforestation is caused bycommercial farming, but mineral extraction, population growth subsistence farming androad building all cause deforestation.
Week 8:
71. Deforestation impacts The removal of trees is causing vast amounts of CO2 to be released into the atmosphereand the lack of trees is reducing the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere. Theremoval of trees is exposing the soil causing it to be washed away by the heavy rain.However there have been an improvement to the economy of Brazil and the variousmethods of deforestation provide a lot of jobs.
72. Sustainable management 1 - Replanting - this is where trees are replanted to replace those that are cut down.2 - Selective logging - this allows the removal of older more valuable trees but most are leftwhich preserves the overall forest.

3 - Education - educating people in the international community to buy sustainably madeproducts.4 - Conservation swaps - this is where wealthy governments give money to poorercountries if they protect their forests.Reducing debt - richer countries may reduce debts on poorer countries if they protect theirforests.5 - international hardwood agreements - countries have made agreements not to importcertain hardwood species such as mahogany unless it is from a sustainable source..
73. Ecotourism This is where small scale tourism takes place. Its aim is to minimise the impact to the forestwhile providing jobs that will mean people do not have to remove the forest to makemoney. Ecotourism also raises awareness of rainforest issues to visitors.
74. Cold environments Areas that experience temperatures below freezing for long periods of time.
75. Adaptations Plants - often small, able to reproduce quickly due to the short growing season.Trees - evergreen to allow them to grow all year, have waxy needles to stop them freezing.Animals - usually thick fur to keep warm, often white to camouflage e.g.polar bear.
76. Low biodiversity Cold environments have low biodiversity, there are fewer plants and animals than in mostother ecosystems. This is because fewer animals have managed to adapt to the harshconditions.
77. Alaska Opportunities 9) Energy, especially oil and Gas.10) Mineral resources such as gold, silver and iron.11) Fishing, salmon, cod and crab12) Tourism - 2 million visitors per year.
78. Alaska Challenges 1 Extreme temperature - the low temperatures mean that buildings need to be well heatedand insulated, this makes them expensive. Roads will freeze making them dangerous, livingin cold environments is dangerous as mistakes like running out of petrol can kill you.
79. Alaska Challenges 2 Inaccessibility - Alaska is a long way from the rest of the UK making getting things in andout expensive, in Winter the sea may freeze, roads become blocked preventing peoplefrom getting around.
80. Alaska Challenges 3 Buildings and infrastructure, things can only get built in the summer which is very short.buildings have to be designed to cope with the low temperatures.
Week 9:
81. Alaska a wildernessunder threat
Oil spills, overfishing, global warming, tourism, can all damage the fragile ecosystem.
82. Protecting Alaska 1 The use of technology - The trans Alaskan pipeline has been built so that oil is not need tobe transported as much by sea (icebergs etc), It is built off the ground to stop the icemelting,
83. Protecting Alaska 1 Governments - 9 million hectares have been protected in the Western Arctic Reserve.- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration oversees the sustainability
of the fishing industry.
84. Protecting Alaska 3 Conservation groups - such as Greenpeace monitor developments in Alaska and drawattention to poor management.
85. Increasing water supply Including Dams - storing water.Desalination - removing saltWater transfer - taking water from one area to another.
86. Lesotho highlands waterproject.
Aims to store water in Dams and then transfer it in pipes to South Africa where it is moreneeded.
87. Lesotho highlands waterproject advantages
Lesotho - provides jobs, brings in money, supplies HEP to the country, improves standardsof living.SouthAfrica - Provides water to areas with little rainfall, provides safe water to 10% of thepopulation.
88. Lesotho highlands waterproject disadvantages
Lesotho - 30000 people had to move due to the dams flooding their land. The floodcontrol has disrupted a unique wetland wildlife ecosystem further downstream, some ofthe money made by Lesotho has been stolen.South Africa - Very expensive scheme, 40% of water is lost in leaks, people cannot afford topay for the water due to increases in costs.
89. Sustainable water Water conservation, Groundwater management, Recycling water and Using Grey water.
