A Global View of Environmental Science for AP Students

This new AP Edition of Environmental Science: A Global Concern presents a global view of environmental science in the context of the AP course and exam. By having students think critically, make clear connections, and apply their learning to real-world situations, the program emphasizes environmental responsibility and global awareness with a clear alignment to the College Board Curriculum Framework for AP Environmental Science.

Features for AP Success include:

• AP Connections in the chapter openers that pinpoint the AP topics and key concepts covered in the chapter as well as the location of skills and practice to prepare for the exam.

• An AP-style chapter assessment with a vocabulary review, multiple choice questions, and data analysis and free-response questions.

• Math features to prepare students for the mathematical requirements of the AP exam.

• An AP Teacher’s Manual that correlates each chapter to the APES Curriculum Framework and provides a pacing guide, useful activities, and answers to questions in the student edition.

Coral reefs are among the most magnificent biological communities on Earth. They rival tropical rainforests in beauty and diversity. About one quarter of all marine species spend some or all of their life cycle in the shelter of coral reefs, and in some areas, reefs provide three-fourths of the protein in human diets. Reefs protect shorelines from storms, and provide valuable recreation and educational resources. Most corals are in serious trouble because of environmental change, pollution, and physical degradation, which threaten

reef communities nearly everywhere. We’ve already lost about 30 percent of our coral worldwide, and another 60 percent is threatened with extinction. But environmental scientists are working to protect and restore corals around the world. Plans to slow climate change are expanding, as are efforts to reduce marine pollution. And with tools of the growing field of ecosystem restoration (chapter 11), we may be able to regrow reefs, and even breed resistant corals that can repopulate damaged reefs.
