Content 3: Future ecosystems
Lesson 1 | Changes in past ecosystems
-
investigate changes in past ecosystems that may inform our approach to the management of future ecosystems, including:
– the role of human-induced selection pressures on the extinction of species (ACSBL005, ACSBL028, ACSBL095)
– models that humans can use to predict future impacts on biodiversity (ACSBL029, ACSBL071)
– the role of changing climate on ecosystems
Lesson 2 | Practices used to restore damaged ecosystems
-
investigate practices used to restore damaged ecosystems, country or place, for example:
– mining sites
– land degradation from agricultural practices
