WATERSHED
Any type of close and long-term relationship between two different biological organisms.
SYMBIOSIS
The role that an organism or population plays in its environment.
NICHE
The sum of all of the ecosystems in the world.
BIOSPHERE
An interdisciplinary field that integrates scientific methods and disciplines to understand and address real world environmental challenges.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers make up what part of an Ecosystem
BIOTIC
Any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents a source of pollution.
POLLUTIONS PREVENTIONS
Any organisms (animals, plants, aquatic lifeforms, etc) that have the potential to die out in the near future.
THREATENED SPECIES
A system consisting of living organisms within a community, interacting with the nonliving parts of their environment.
ECOSYSTEM
The deliberate preservation of a resource.
CONSERVATION

Environment
How different species interact with each other.
COMMUNITY

FUEL CELL
(O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is both a natural and a man-made product that occurs in the Earth's upper atmosphere.
OZONE
The study of the relationships between living organisms and their physical environment, including humans. It seeks to understand the connections between plants and animals and the world around them, and can also provide information about the benefits of ecosystems.
ECOLOGY
Any land that was once used (for factories, housing, etc), but is now unoccupied and may potentially be contaminated.
BROWNFIELD
Trapping of heat between layers of polluted air.
Thermal Pollution
A vehicle using two or more types of power.
HYBRID VEHICLE
