ECOSYSTEM WEBQUESTS
http://www.otterbein.edu/dept/educ/sciquests/regelski/regelski.html - Instructions For Group Task
You are about to learn amazing facts and see breathtaking pictures of some of the most
beautiful, exciting and ENDANGERED ecosystems in the world. Your group will learn about each of three different ecosystems and then you (as a group) will determine which ecosystem you feel is the most interesting. You will encounter an exciting adventure and then contribute to saving your ecosystem.

The desert is often looked at as a wasteland, dead, void of life. Many people pass through this area without noticing the wealth of life and possibilities which exist behind its dry, rock-ridden mask.

Introduction
Have you heard of the galapagos turtles, or have you become aware of the dangers animals like the Bengal tigers face? Animals in different biomes are dying out and others are being born deformed at an alarming rate. The Environmental Protection Agency in looking for causes, has appointed you and your group of experts to study the problem. Your job as a botanist, zoologist, climatologist and a chemist is to plan a course of action that will identify the problems and recommend possible solutions.
The Forest Ecosystem Dynamics (FED) Project is concerned with modeling and monitoring ecosystem processes and patterns in response to natural and anthropogenic effects. The project uses coupled ecosystem models and remote sensing models and measurements to predict and observe ecosystem change. The overall objective of the FED project is to link and use models of forest dynamics, soil processes, and canopy energetics to understand how ecosystem response to change affects patterns and processes in northern and boreal forests and to assess the implications for global change. See Conceptual Diagram for model schematic.
