Ecosystems
The science that studies the interactions between organisms and their environment.
What is Ecology?
These are events that cause change in the structure and composition of a forest ecosystem
What are forest disturbances?
A non-living factor affecting species abundance and dispersal (Temperature, Sunlight, Wind, Soil Type, etc.)
What is an abiotic factor?
Biodiversity is function of these two factors.
What is richness and evenness?
Organisms that are alive are composed of one or more of these.
What are cells?
This consists of all the organisms in a particular region, along with nonliving components.
What is an ecosystem?
Pathogens are an example of what type of forest disturbance?

What is biosphere?

What is abiotic?
A tiger predation on gazelle.
What is Biotic?
How organisms are spread across a specific area
What is population distrubution?
Organisms need this in order to life processes.
energy
This is a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat.
What is a biome?
The process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time.
What is forest succession?
Species brought into a new regions by human actions either intentionally or unintentionally.
What is an invasive species?
This is how you calculate species richness in a population?
What is count the species?
All students in the room are undergoing what process?
What is growing?
This is a geographical area occupied by an ecosystem.
What is a habitat
Forest that are mostly pine trees are this compared to forests with mostly oaks.
Rainfall affects dispersal of a population by changing a bend in a river between the population.
Abiotic
What is the number of individuals in that species divided by the total number of individuals multiplied by 100?
What is maintaining a stable internal environment is known as?
What is homeostasis?
