Island B(oys)iogeography Theory
A passage that allows animals to travel from island to island or habitat to habitat without interference from humans
These particles can irritate your airways and can take many forms, and some of them are even small enough to go directly into your bloodstream
((births-deaths)+(immigration-emigration))/sample size *100
What is the Population growth rate (PGR) equation?
Over enrichment of water (Nitrogen and Phosphorus). Often occurs due to runoff
What is eutrophication?
The 3 soil sizes/separates
What is sand, silt, and clay?
Areas surrounding islands or reserves providing more separation and space from humans, which can increase the island size.
What is a buffer zone?
NOXs and VOCs, higher temperatures, and lots of people lead to...
What is ground level ozone?
Which tract has the highest species richness:
Tract 1: 13,15,20 Tract 2: 1,5, 25,19
Tract 3: 18,20,6
What is Tract 2?
What is bioaccumulation?
The 3 main factors influencing water infiltration into soil
Soil type, vegetation, land use
The count of species present in an area
What is species richness?
A pollutant that is bad for your health in other ways, but is not a monitored air pollutant
What is mercury?
Which tract is the most even? (species evenness)
Tract 1: 12,18,24 Tract 2: 19,8,12
Tract 3: 16,17,14
What is Tract 3?
Increase in a substance in organisms as it moves up the food chain
Low infiltration, high-runoff, fine-grained soil
What is clay?
Abundance of individuals from each species
What is species evenness?
Greenhouse Gas or Pollutant
CO vs CO2 Methane vs SO2 Water Vapor vs Lead
CO: Pollutant CO2: GHG
Methane: GHG SO2: Pollutant
Water Vapor: GHG Lead: Pollutant
1-D
Ex. 1-.25=.75
What is the Simpsons Index of Diversity?
Large scale production of livestock that produces high levels of waste
The measure of how acidic something is
What is pH?
Uses both species richness and species evenness to measure BIODIVERSITY
What is heterogeneity?
Define:
Monitored air pollutant vs Greenhouse Gas
Hazardous to human health, mainly from inhalation
Not necessarily hazardous to breathe, but trap heat on earth
D=(18/40)2 + (6/40)2 + (10/40)2 + (6/40)2
What is Simpsons Biodiversity Index?
What is a GMO
Geographic area of land that drains water into a river or other body of water
What is a watershed?
