 | Coral Reef Ecosystem http://www.myspace.com/acorvettes All living things require energy to carry out life functions such as growth, movement, and reproduction. For nearly all ecosystems—diverse collections of species that interact with each other and their physical environment—the major source of energy is the sun. The flow of energy tends to follow the same basic pattern whether the ecosystem is a tropical rainforest or a coral reef. To portray the transfer of energy through an ecosystem, ecologists use simple models called food chains. Organisms can be organized into different trophic levels, or positions in a food chain; organisms at higher trophic levels feed on those at lower levels. |

 | Freshwater Ecosystem Tiny invertebrates live among floating ferns (Salvinia is one example) in freshwater environments. Freshwater aquatic biological systems are supported in part by symbitoic cyanobacteria that live near the rhizines of the ferns. The ferns and the cyanobacteria do photosynthesis and the cyanobacteria introduce biologically useful nitrogen into the freshwater ecosystem. In rice paddies, where these organisms are abundant, small fish consume the invertebrates and in turn are eaten by subsistence farmers. These aquatic systems support billions of people around the world! |
 | Dowa Eco-System - Jewellery from E-waste : DigInfo http://movie.diginfo.tv DigInfo News Electrical and electronic equipment waste contains significant amounts of metal. DOWA ECO-SYSTEM has found an innovative way to use this waste by producing jewelry from the metal. Interview with Yuko Hayashi, Environmental Solution Dept., DOWA ECO-SYSTEM: "In process of mining ore such as this, trees are cut down, mountains are leveled and rivers are polluted. On top of that the carbon footprint is increased with the material being delivered to Japan, this is before the metal has even gone through the manufacturing process. In this so called E-waste, there are a lot of metals inside these electronic devices. It is said that the amount of metal in a cell phone amounts to around sixty times more than in ore. So we can produce metal, which is the same quality as mined metal, in Japan, just by collecting metal from these devices, without having to cut down trees or flatten mountains. The world's gold deposits are predicted to last for only another 19 years, but we will try to prolong the longevity of these gold deposits for as long as possible by adopting this type of recycling system." Recycling 100% of the metal obtained from ore can reduce the environmental load to one three-hundredth the load created by mining. For example, around 10 tons of ore are needed to make a gold ring that weighs 10 grams, but only 0.037 tons are needed if the gold from cell phones is recycled. DOWA ECO-SYSTEM recovers 17 different kinds of metals from recycled waste and this year added a new recycling incinerator to enable the recycling of two additional types of metals. In the recycling process, these metals are first shredded and melted at a high temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius and electrically refined. The first metal to be extracted in the process is bronze, and then the remaining material is precipitated and separated to extract silver. The last metal to be recovered is gold. The heat generated by the incinerator is thermally processed and reused as electricity to power the processing equipment. Interview with Yuko Hayashi, Environmental Solution Dept., DOWA ECO-SYSTEM: "The world's gold deposits are predicted to last for only another 19 years, but we will try to prolong the longevity of these gold deposits for as long as possible by adopting this type of recycling system." DOWA ECO-SYSTEM intends to set up two eco-recycling plants in the near future, one in northern Japan and the other in the major recycling area of Akita, and also hopes to expand its recycling activities worldwide. |

 | Strange Days Season 2: Ecosystem pt2 As the rumor and fight gets worse...so do the sponge plants as they multiply more and more. Is there a way to stop the sponges at all...well, at least the professor, Lucas and Marshal are thinking of something ;). |

 | Moorea Biocode Project: Cataloging an Ecosystem, 12/6/07 The South Pacific island of Moorea will soon become a model ecosystem, thanks to a U.S.-French research team led by University of California, Berkeley, biologists. In this video, Professor George Roderick talks about an ambitious project to create a genetic inventory of all non-microbial life in the island's ecosystem. Shots include Roderick and the island's exotic landscape. (2:06 min.) Contact: Roxanne Makasdjian, UCB Media Relations http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2007/12/06_moorea.shtml |
 | Episode 24 - New England Marine Ecosystem, Part 2 This week we have the opportunity to see part two of a two part educational program designed to enlighten children in grades 3-8 about the marine ecosystem in their neighborhoods in New England. Jeff Croll, an avid diver and educator hosts this program and shows the viewers different parts of the New England marine ecosystem. The New England Marine Ecosystem was awarded two Telly Awards in the 2007 Awards competition in the education and nature/wildlife categories. |
