The purpose of the project is to build through researcher contributions, a geographically integrated database with high quality metadata for characterizing and modeling ecosystem phenomena. The database, available on CD-ROM and on-line, currently contains over 30 global and regional datasets of multiple environmental and ecological factors. It is an on-going data integration and publishing effort that is currently working on its third database release. Ecosystems Data Home

Extractions: Once the roots reach the nutrient-rich leaf litter below, the strangler fig grows quickly. A network of roots envelops the host, and up in the canopy, the strangler fig begins to compete with the host tree for the precious light. In time, the strangler fig can grow to over 45 metres, and the host tree can be overwhelmed, and die. LARGE UPRIGHT LEAVES OF THE 'BIRD-NEST' FERN The bird's nest fern is another plant that attaches itself to a host, though, unlike the strangler fig, it doesn't present a threat to its host. The bird's nest fern is an epiphyte, a plant that grows on another plant, or a rockface, or even a solid enough vine, without taking nutrients from its host.

Food An ecosystem is generally defined as a community of organisms living in a particular environment and the physical elements in that environment with which they interact. But where does one particular ecosystem end and another begin? An ecosystem can be as small as a field or as large as the ocean, depending on the scale that the researcher is examining. The borders of an ecosystem may be clear, such as a pond; other borders may be less easy to define, such as grassland that gradually changes into brush. Just as there is an immense diversity of individual species on the planet, so is there a rich diversity of ecosystems, from the icy arctic zones to tropical forests lush with plants and animals. Even the depths of the oceans, once thought to be barren, are now known to be teeming with living microorganisms and other life. There is much that remains to be discovered. Biologists do not know with any certainty how many species there are or even why some areas, such as the tropics, are richer in biological diversity than others. It is known that human activities, mostly unintended, threaten biodiversity by altering habitats and introducing non-native species. There is general agreement on the importance of protecting biological diversity, especially since humans depend on the services provided by living organisms and ecosystems. There is less agreement on the best approaches to conservation and how to balance preservation of habitats with meeting human needs.
