PART 1: ECOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY
Directions: Review the webpage from PBS called “Great Wall Across the Yangtze.” Particularly read the tabs associated with the controversy (http://www.pbs.org/itvs/greatwall/controversy.html). After you have read the PBS website further research the dam. Then write a two to four page position paper: Is the Three Gorges Dam doing more good than bad?
The paper must be in proper APA format, have a references section, and site at least 2 peer reviewed articles. Please use AAU’s LIRN Library to search for these articles. You may utilize the Academic Resource Center (ARC) for a concise guide on how to use LIRN and for APA formatting guidelines.
PART 2: ECOSYSTEMS
Directions: Use the United States Forest Service web page on Ecosystem Provinces http://www.fs.fed.us/land/ecosysmgmt/colorimagemap/ecoreg1_provinces.html to answer the three questions below. Please ensure that each response is at least 2 to 3 sentences in length.
- In what ecosystem province is Charleston, SC?
- What is the predominant land-surface form in this province?
- What is the moisture deficit?
- What are the indicator species?
- From what ecosystem province do you come?
- If you were to walk NW from Charleston and arrive at the Great Lakes, through what ecosystem provinces would you pass?
- What is the difference between an ecosystem and a biome? Why might someone find it more useful to use the concept of ecosystem or ecosystem provinces as shown here? Describe a situation in which it might be more useful to use the concept of biomes.
