Biodiversity
Higher biodiversity= (blank) ecosystem/ Population health
Higher
Goods taken from ecosystems or made from natural resources.
What is Provisioning?
Range where organisms survive, grow, and reproduce.
What is optimal range?
The two types of Succession
What is Primary and Secondary?
Tornados, Hurricanes, Asteroids, forest fires, drought
A measure of how all of the individual organism in an ecosystem are balanced between different species.
What is Evenness?
Disrupt the ability of ecosystems to function.
What is human activities?
Shifts temperature outside the rand of tolerance for many tree species, causing their populations to decline.
What is Global Warming?
Characterized by which types of plant species dominate the ecosystem
Can be even greater than human disruptions.
What is Natural disturbances?
Total number of different species found in an ecosystem.
What is Richness?
For agriculture/cities removes trees that stores CO2.
What is clearing land?
Range where the organism will die.
What is Zone of intolerance?
Type of species that are still wind-dispersed seeds of plants that are fast-growing and sun tolerant.
Pioneer Species
Has varies over geologic time for numerous reasons.
What is the earth's climate?
Measure of how different the genomes are of the individuals within a population of a given species.
What is genetic diversity?
Support processes we do ourselves, making them less costly and easier for us.
What are natural ecosystems?
Range where organisms survive, but experience some stress.
What is physiological stress?
Species appear first, when the ground is simple bare rock, or bare soil after a distubance.
What is pioneer or early succession?
Has varied over geological time as glacial ice on earth melts & forms.
What is sea level?
(blank)= higher chance that some of the individuals in a pop. have traits that allow them to survive the env. stressor.
Filter pollutants, leading to cleaner groundwater that we don't have to pay as much to purify with expensive water treatment plants.
What are wetland plants?
About human activities or natural events that cause environmental disturbance, connect answer to ecological range of tolerance.
What is FRQ writing tips?
Species appear last, after soil is deepened and enriched with nutrients by cycles of growth and death by early & mid successional species.
What is late successional or climax community?
Occurs with regular frequency.
What is Periodic?
