Using machines to break up soil before planting - causes soil erosion.
Energy source that can regenerate or be replenished naturally.
What is renewable?
Gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat in.
What is the Greenhouse effect?
Species that have a larger range of tolerance.
What is a generalist species?
This interaction is comprised of organisms fighting over a resource; limits population size.

Phenomena of water molecules spreading out when heated.
What is thermal expansion?
Species whose presence indicates the quality of the ecosystem.
What is an indicator species?
Relationship that benefits one organism and doesn't impact the other.
What is commensalism?
The most efficient irrigation method.
What is drip irrigation?
Use of solar panels to capture sunlight and convert it to heat / electricity.
What is an active solar system?

What is a pioneer species?
What is resource partitioning?
Need to use more and more pesticides as pests become resistant.
