What is ecosystem diversity?
This kind of biodiversity references the different kinds of biomes, habitats, and ecological processes.
100
This ecosystem service includes food, drinking water, and raw materials that the ecosystem provides.
What are provisioning services?
100
This factor increases as island size increases, leading to more diverse species populations.
What is species richness?
100
This type of environmental recovery occurs after large disturbances in an ecosystem.
ecological succession
100
This term describes an organism range of environment conditions that they can be successful in.
What is tolerance?
200
This type of diversity explains that ecosystems that have a larger number of species are more likely to recover from disruptions.
Species diversity
200
National parks providing recreational activity is this kind of ecosystem service.
What are cultural services?
200
A change to an organisms DNA that may result in a new variant, or allele.
mutation
200
A defining characteristic of primary succession, the environment does not have any of this.
soil
200
Factors such as temperature, pH, salinity, etc. that determine an organisms tolerance range.
abiotic factors
300
This type of diversity allows a particular species to have a good chance of surviving a natural disruption IF the diversity is high.
genetic diversity
300
Ecotourism
cultural service
300
The outcome when species run out of resources.
extinction
300
The first species to move into an area that is unoccupied.
pioneer species
300
This is an intolerent zone.
Zone A
400
The number of different species in a specific area, such as a landscape, ecological community, or region
species richness
400
Mangroves mitigate storm damages along coastlines.
regulating services
400
Islands that are large and ___________ from the mainland tend to have the most biodiversity.
close
400
The point where biodiversity is highest for that habitat.
climax community
400
This zone is known for physiological stress.
Zone B
500
This type of diversity explains that ecosystems that have a larger number of species are more likely to recover from disruptions.

supporting services
500
The concept that explains why Darwin's finches all evolved different beak sizes/shapes to fulfill different niches on the Galapagos Islands.
adaptive radiation
500
A symbiotic fungi and algae that typically is a first colonizer of bare rocks.
lichen
500
This species has the lowest range of tolereance.
