Be able to state and explain the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Understand the implications of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics on the transfer of energy in a food chain (why food chains form energy pyramids and how this relates to biomagnification, energy implications of eating higher on the food chain etc.) Be able to explain the concept of Biological Oxygen Demand and the factors that control oxygen levels in water bodies, such as Ellis Pond. Understand the basic processes for the water cycle and these nutrient cycles: nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, and phosphorous. Know the ultimate sources for the nutrients (atmosphere, ocean, or rock), and how the nutrients are taken up into plants.

Nutrient Cycles, Soils, and Food: Chapters 3.5 and 12 Terms to know: Ammonification Aquaculture Aquifer Biosphere Clay, silt and sand Combustion conservation tillage conventional tillage DDT Decomposition Denitrification desertification Evaporation Fixing or Fixation Glyphosate (Roundup) GMOs Green Revolution Herbicide Humus Hydrosphere Infiltration Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Lithosphere Loam malnutrition Monoculture Nitrification overnutrition Percolation Permeability Pesticide pH plantation agriculture Porosity Runoff Salinization Soil Horizons Smelting strip cropping terracing Transpiration Waterlogging Concepts to Know: Be able to define the basic processes of the water, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur cycles. Know why the nutrient is important; what forms it takes; what the major reservoirs are (sources and sinks), what the processes are that transform and move the nutrient in the cycle; how the nutrient gets into the food chain, the role of microbes (bacteria) in the N and S cycles, and how humans are influencing the cycle. Know what makes up a soil: major and minor sources. Know the different soil horizons Know the categories of inorganic soil components by particle size (sand, silt and clay). Know how the relative concentration of these different size particles affects the soils classification on a texture triangle, porosity, permeability, and water/nutrient holding capacity. Understand the importance of each of these factors. Know the causes of soil erosion and degradation, and be able to describe the consequences of effects on the soil of each one: conventional tillage, overgrazing, deforestation, damage from wind and water, excessive irrigation (salinization and waterlogging) Know the advantages and disadvantages to using fertilizers to replenish soil. Be able to explain strategies to reduce soil erosion in agriculture, including conservation tillage farming (no till farming), terracing, contour farming, strip cropping, alley cropping techniques, wind breaks, organic fertilizer, crop rotation, and irrigation techniques that reduce water usage.

Be able to describe some of the agriculture advances in the Green Revolution and know when this increase in agricultural output began.
