Environmental Science
Environmental Science both an _ and _ science
What is empirical and applied?
This is a type of Wetland
Peatbog
This animal was included in the extermination project to protect against livestock and would boost deer and elk populations
The Grey Wolf
The study of all the populations (plants, animals, and other species) living and interacting in an area.
Community ecology
Stretches of DNA, the hereditary material of cells, that each direct the production of a molecule, usually a protein, and influence an individual’s traits
Genes
A problem where there are many causes and consequences
What is a Wicked Problem
All of the organisms in a given area plus the physical environment (biotic and abiotic components) in which, and with which, they interact
What is an ecosystem?
All the individuals of a species that live in the same geographic area and are able to interact and interbreed.
What is a population
This indicator species decline was responsible for the awareness of the broader impact and health of the Everglades.
The wood stork
The process by which organisms best adapted to the environment survive to reproduce, leaving more offspring than less well-adapted individuals
Natural Selection
The Iceland Viking were able to adapt by adopting techniques and practices for their survival
What is Sustainable practices
These cycles are important for the recycling of nutrients and matter in the Earth
What is carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous cycle
These three types of distribution patterns are relevant to population dynamics
Clumped, Random and Uniformed distribution
This arrangement is important for the transfer of energy and matter. It consist of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers and apex predators.
Trophic Pyramid
he heritable variation among individuals of a single population or within the species as a whole
Genetic Diversity
This book authored by Rachael Carson caused an uproar and eventually led to stricter regulations for chemical pesticides?
What is Silent Springs
This process convert sunlight into sugars, water and oxygen
The deer and elk experienced this type of growth when the wolves were not present.
Exponential growth
The mangrove “prop” roots, which anchor the trees into the wet, sandy ground below, offer the fish safety from predators during the day but are close enough to the seagrass beds where the snapper and grunts feed at night for easy “commuting.”
What is an Ecotone
This invasive species has contributed to extirpation for marsh rabbits and threatens the lives of other predators that rely on mammals for food.
Burmese python
This resource has contributed to the current carbon dioxide concentrations to 424 parts per million from fossil fuels.
non-renewable
These two physical properties influences the growth of peat moss in the SPRUCE project
What is temperature (warming) and carbon dioxide
In 1995, this regulation or pressure from wolf reintroduction project reduced the winter elk population in Yellowstone National Park from 19,000 to 4,000 today. This same pressure and regulation is imposed from the elk and deer onto the aspen and willow trees.
Top-down regulation
In 2000, the U.S. Congress enacted the most comprehensive — and expensive — ecological repair project in history. In 2000, the U.S. Congress enacted the most comprehensive — and expensive — ecological repair project in history.
CERP or In 2000, the U.S. Congress enacted the most comprehensive — and expensive — ecological repair project in history.
