Hi! I am a student at my school. My partner and I are doing ecology and it is our first time doing the event ecology. We have no idea what to expect and any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can help us in any way. Please respond ASAP. Thanks!

I moved your post to the Ecology thread, where it's more likely to get responses.

My suggestion for you is to get a good grasp on the general ecology concepts stated in the rules. Then, branch off to the specific biomes listed for this year and get a good understanding of how you can apply those concepts to the biomes.

I definitely agree. In my experience, eco tests tend to focus on the general concepts, even though the rules say the sections should be even. I would recommend that you go through the ecology unit in the biology course on Khan Academy to start off.

Yep. Khan Academy was my go-to starting place, especially for knowledge on general ecology terminology and topics. Then, branch off and get some general information on not only the specific biomes but an understanding of other biomes. Human impact is also something important, and I usually search through some textbooks or on the internet for these topics.

I noticed there are a lot of ways to divide types of Grasslands. Some sources I found divides them by 1) Tropical and Subtropical 2) Temperate 3) Flooded 4) Montane 5) Tundra 6) Desert and Xeric and others I found divide them just by Savanna and Temperate grasslands. Does anybody know about an efficient way to divide these?

in terms of math, what equations/statistical methods are necessary for C division nats level? i'm already familiar w SWDI, exponential/logistic, and SDI

simpson and shannon biodiversity indexes, which involve summation. math is pretty basic though
