Environmental Science for the AP® Course notes

These Environmental Science notes provide a detailed breakdown of core concepts, focusing on human interactions with natural systems. The notes begin with a comprehensive definition of Environmental Science, explaining its study of ecosystems and the relationship between living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components in nature. They also clarify the distinction between Environmental Science and environmentalism, emphasizing how the former is grounded in scientific inquiry and analysis, while...

These community ecology notes offer a clear, organized understanding of species interactions within ecosystems. Starting with an overview of Community Ecology, the notes explain how species interactions impact survival, distribution, and biodiversity. The section on Symbiotic Relationships covers mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism, illustrating how species may benefit, remain unaffected, or be harmed by close associations, with real-world examples enhancing clarity. In Competition, th...
