Tujuan Pembelajaran
Judul: Sistem Alam dan Semesta (Natural and Universal Systems) Latar Belakang:
Mahasiswa merupakan bagian dari masyarakat sosial yang mempunyai peran penting di masyarakat. Oleh karena itu mahasiswa perlu dibekali dengan pemahaman tentang peran dan tanggungjawab manusia terhadap lingkungan hidup dan lingkungan sosial.
Tujuan:
Mampu menerapkan konsep ilmu pengetahuan untuk melakukan eksplorasi berbagai fenomena alam dan semesta dalam interaksinya dengan lingkungan alam dan sosial Memahami peran dan tanggungjawabnya terhadap lingkungan sekitarnya (alam dan sosial) sebagai bagian dari peradaban manusia

Ecosystems
the earths life-support system A system made up of a community* of living organisms interrelated together with its physical and chemical environment (biotic and abiotic interaction) *Community: producers, consumers,
decomposers
SYSTEM - ECOLOGY System - interaction (living & non-living) System - interconnection System - networking System - symbiosis System - nature

Ecosystem Scales
Characteristics of Ecosystems
Every ecosystem consists of both living and nonliving parts Energy flows through ecosystems Matter is recycled by ecosystems Every organism occupies an ecological niche Stable ecosystems achieve a balance among their populations Ecosystems are dynamic, not permanent, but change over time

Biotic
Living organisms (plants, animals including humans, and microorganisms) Ecological community
All in area interacting each other
Energy Flows Through Ecosystems & Matter is recycled by ecosystems Flow of energy from the sun through the biosphere The cycling of crucial elements (C, P, N, O, H2O)

Energy Pyramid
Most energy in most ecosystems is stored in the bodies of primary producers. Only about 10 percent of the energy at one energy level passes to the next highest trophic level.

Carbon cycle
Carbon
Carbon is the basic building block of molecules necessary for life (carbohydrate, fats, proteins, DNA and RNA) How are human activities affecting the C cycle? CO2 + other gases Atmosphere green house effects global warming: - select fit organism, affect food production and wildlife habitats - raise the average sea level

Nitrogen cycle
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for making proteins, DNA, and RNA How are human activities affecting the N cycle? Adding large amount of NO when burning any fuel: N2 + O2 2NO NO + O2 NO2 NO2 + H2O HNO3 HNO3 in rain or snow acid deposition (acid rain)

Phosphorus cycle
Phosphorus
P is the limiting factor for plant growth and producers in many freshwater and lakes How are human activities affecting the P cycle? -Reducing the available phosphate in tropical forests by removing trees causes P and other soil nutrients are washed away by heavy rains, and the land become unproductive -Adding excess phosphate to aquatic ecosystems causes explosive growth of cyanobacteria, algae, and aquatic plants. When these plants die and are decomposed they use up dissolved oxygen and finally disrupt aquatic ecosystems

Sulfur cycle
Sulfur
S is stored underground in rocks and minerals, including SO42salt S enters the atmosphere from active volcanoes, S is released by the breakdown of organic matter in swamps, bogs, and tidal flats by decomposers How are human activities affecting the S cycle? burning sulfur containing coal and fossil fuels release SO2 into atmosphere In the atmosphere, SO2 + O2 SO3 SO3 + H2O H2SO4 fall to the earth as acid rain

Water cycle
Water Cycle
Water Cycle: collects, purifies and distributes the earths fixed supply of water The main processes in water cycle: evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, percolation, runoff Water cycle is powered by energy from the sun How are human activities affecting the water cycle?
- withdrawing large quantities of fresh water in heavily
populated areas lead to depletion of underground water supplies - clearing vegetation from land for agriculture, mining, and building construction lead to increase runoff, reduces infiltration, increase the risk of flooding

Spraying herebicides prevent regrowth of plant, all plant materials was left to decompose
Researchers found that the total removal of vegetation can increase the runoff of water and loss of soil nutrients

The Law of Unintended Consequences It is virtually impossible to change on aspect of a complex system without affecting other parts of the systems, often in as-yet unpredictable ways. Examples:
Everglades Restoration in Florida Lake Victoria in Africa
