The area where an organism lives is called it's habitat.
One of the other factors that affect an Ecosystem
A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.
Food chains
process of becoming a vapor; liquid to a gas
Evaporation
The same species and live in the same area
Population
What is primary succession?
Succession that occurs on the surface where no soil exists
The full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions. It is an organisms’ occupation.
A niche
A complex feeding relationships among the various organisms in an ecosystem
Food web
state of matter from gas to liquid; reverse of vaporization
Condensation

Species
The first species to populate the area?
Pioneer Species
Name one of the 5 spheres
Atmosphere, Ecosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere and biosphere
Flows through an ecosystem in one direction from the sun to autotrophs (producers) and then to heterotrophs (consumers).
Energy Flow
Loss of water from a plant through its leaves
Transpiration
A group of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar communities.
Biome
Following a disturbance that destroys a community excluding the soil.
Secondary Succession
Determines the survival and growth of an organism and the productivity of the ecosystem in which an organism lives in.
Biotic and Abiotic
A diagram that shows the amount of energy or matter contained within each trophic level in a food chain/web
Energy pyramid
Process by which water on the ground enters soil
Infiltration
a collection of all organisms that live in a particular place together with their nonliving environment.
Ecosystem
What are some examples according the power point?
land cleared & plowed for farming
