One is a group of organisms that are all the same species the other is a group of organisms of different species 

Same Species = Population 

Different Species = Community

Ecosystem, Species, Genetic

100
A series of predictable stages of growth that an ecosystem goes through 

Ecological Succession

100

Two types of Eutrophication

Natural and Cultural

100

The amount of light that is absorbed or reflected off of a surface 

What is Albedo

200

An organism interaction in which two organisms are fighting over a resource

What is Competition

200

All of the land that drains into a specific body of water

What is a watershed?

200

smaller range of tolerance that makes them more prone to extinction

What is a specialist
200
Appears last after soil is deepened and enriched with nutrients by cycles of growth and death by early and mid successional species

What is Climax Community

200

A major solar event that occurs on June 21 and December 21 each year. (Hint: it is the longest or shortest day of the year)

What is the Solstices or A solstice

200

Nitrogren Fixation

300
When both North and South Hemispheres recieve an equal amount of sunlight
What is an Equinox
300

When a body of water has excess nutrients leading to low dissolved oxygen level and agal growth

What is Eutrophication?

300

Species not native to an are introduced by human transport

What is an invasive species
300

When a habitat is broken into different pieces by development 

Habitat fragmentation

300

What is a transform boundary

400

a reservoir that takes in more than it releases 

What is a sink

400

When discussing human threats to biodiveristy what does HIPPCO stand for?

Habitat Fragmentation

Population Growth

Pollution 

Climate Change

Over Exploitation

400

Larger islands have more biodiversity and Islands farther from mainland have less biodiversity

What is the Island Biogeography Theory

400
What is the difference between types Pioneer Species in Primary vs Secondary succession

Primary: Mosses and Lichens due to no established soil 

Secondary: Small flowers, weeds, and grasses due to preexisting healthy soil

400

when adding or removing an organism from an areas food wed causes a ripple effect through the trophic levels

Two aspects of climate that determine an areas Biome

What are Temperature and Precipitation

500

Causes stress on marine life due to lack of available dissovled oxygen

Ocean Warming

500

What are the 4 ecosystem services give an example of each

Supporting ( root filtration, pollination,etc)

Regulating ( ocean regulating temperature, trees regulating carbon)

Provisioning (food crops, lumber, hunting)

Cultural ( fishing and hunting, ecotourism to natural parks, using plants for medicine sold as profit)

500

Soil Erosion

Increased soil and stream temp

Flooding and Landslides

500

What are the two issues that arise due to Tree Plantations

Loss of biodiversity and all the trees being the same age

500

Describe natural selection

Organisms that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more offspring.
