            • Introduction - MST4.I.LE.7.Introduction:
              The number of organisms an ecosystem can support depends on the resources available and physical factors: quantity of light, air, and water; range of temperatures; soil composition. To ensure the survival of our planet, people have a responsibility to consider the impact of their actions on the environment.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.7.2a:
                In ecosystems, balance is the result of interactions between community members and their environment.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.7.2b:
                The environment may be altered through the activities of organisms. Alterations are sometimes abrupt. Some species may replace others over time, resulting in long- term gradual changes (ecological succession).
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.7.2c:
                Overpopulation by any species impacts the environment due to the increased use of resources. Human activities can bring about environmental degradation through resource acquisition, urban growth, land-use decisions, waste disposal, etc.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.7.2d:
                Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have resulted in major pollution of air, water, and soil. Pollution has cumulative ecological effects such as acid rain, global warming, or ozone depletion. The survival of living things on our planet depends on the conservation and protection of Earth's resources.
