Biology Question – Description
TOPIC: TERRESTRIAL BIOMES-AMAZONIAN RAINFOREST
1) Research the major ecological processes and the evolutionary patterns exhibited by organisms that inhabit your ecosystem.
2) Understand anthropogenic threats to its functioning.
3) Understand the value of the ecosystem services it provides.
Students will explain what they have learned in terms of a written essay.
The paper is expected to have a bibliography of at least 10 peer-reviewed scientific sources. A strong thesis statement, regarding a process in ecology or evolution, should be argued on the basis of evidence from the scientific literature. Papers could be 3-5 pages long (12 pt. 1.5 spaced), counting a single page of references, but better papers are not necessarily longer ones. Papers that engage with the material will receive higher grades than those that try to simply reach a page limit. Great papers go beyond the prompt and answer questions of their own. Grades will be primarily based on how well students construct their arguments and utilize scientific sources. This is a research exercise, and the quality of research is a major factor in the grading of these assignments. PLEASE FOLLOW THIS PROMPT BASED OFF THE AMAZONIAN RAINFOREST AND INCLUDE AT LEAST 10 PEER REVIEWED RELIABLE SOURCES.
