Species at Risk
a species is eliminated from existence when it cannot adapt genetically and reproduce successfully under new environmental conditions
Extinction
The diversity of life on Earth, consisting of genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity
Biodiversity
What type of forest do we live in here in Southwestern Ontario
Carolinian Canada
This item is found in almost every food
Palm oil
When a species is locally extinct but still in existence somewhere else in the world.
Extirpated Species
the formation of two or more species from one as the result of divergent natural selection in response to changes in environmental conditions
Speciation
What does GLAS stand for?
Geoscience Laser Altimeter Systems
What are the two endangered spaces in our local region?
Carolinian Canada & Sydenham River
When numbers of a species have gotten to a low point. This makes genetic diversity low and the probability of inbreeding higher. This will ultimately result in loss of the species over time through extirpation and finally extinction. This species is at imminent risk of extinction.
Endangered Species
a ____________, usually open to the public, where a wide range of plants are grown for scientific and educational purposes, often with documented collections and scientific research.

Name the 3 primary types of tree cutting methods
Clear-Cutting
Selective Cutting
Shelterwood Cutting
What are Ms. Boere's two teachable subjects?
Geography & History
These species are sensitive to human activities, natural events or have limited range. Human activities include hunting and habitat loss. Natural events include disease and climate change. Limited range, means they live in a specific area or need specific things to survive.
Threatened
This technology uses both Google Earth and Laser technology to help loggers only select the best, healthiest, most profitable trees to cut
Treemetrics
This type of fire burns all winter long below the ground in Canada
Zombie Fire
Svalbard Global Seed Vault is located in which country?
Serbia
These species may become threatened or endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics or identified threats. This can be habitat loss, dependence on a single food source or late breeding or singular/small number of offspring.
Species of Special Concern
As forests are cleared, they are often broken into smaller, isolated patches. These smaller patches of forest are often too small to support a diverse range of species.
Fragmentation
The quickest way to log a forest?
Clear cut
