What causes a population to level off and have logistic growth like in the graph shown below? (i.e. why can't a population just keep growing and growing?) 
Limiting Factors
300
Give at least 2 examples of ABIOTIC limiting factors
drought, severe winter, natural disaster, virus-caused diseases, etc.
300
An animal population decreases from 800 individuals to 600 individuals. What are 2 biotic factor that could have caused this decrease?
Disease and predation
300
Growth that slows due to limited resources; S- curve graph; carrying capacity
Logistic Growth
300
What is a process in the water cycle that releases water into the atmosphere from PLANTS?
Transpiration
300
Begins in essentially lifeless areas, such as regions in which there is no soil or where the soil is incapable of sustaining life.
Primary Succession

What is the carrying capacity? 
about 250

In a forest ecosystem, which of the following is the best example of a limiting factor for a rabbit population?
a. the robin (bird) population
b. amount of grass/flowers available
c. the amount of sunlight
d. rabbits have no limiting factors
b. amount of grass/flowers available
400
Why does the hare population decrease?
There are more predators at that time, so they are getting eaten more
400
The variety of living species on Earth, including plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi.
Biodiversity
400
If many trees are removed from a forest, what is the most immediate effect on the carbon cycle in that forest?
increase in the rates of atmospheric carbon dioxide
400
When is carrying capacity reached? Be specific.
Birth equals Death
Immigration equals Emigration
500
Which of the following might cause the carrying capacity of this rabbit population to DECREASE?
a. increase in food for a few years
b. fewer predators
c. harsh winters for a few years
d. more resources available in the ecosystem
c. harsh winters for a few years

Based on this graph, what is the limiting factor for the hare population? 
the lynx population
(just like what we saw with the ecological pyramids, there are more primary consumers like the hare than there are top predators like the lynx)
500
What is the limiting factor for the lynx? 
The hare

What is an invasive species. Be thorough w/ example.
Invasive species are non-native to an area, they damage ecosystems by affect native species populations.
