ecology; what is it's purpose? - (answers)-study of how organisms interact with their
environment
-to understand the distribution and abundance of organisms
population - (answers)group of individuals of the same species living in the same area, at the
same time
community - (answers)consists of species that interact with one another within a particular area
ecosystem - (answers)consists of all organisms in a particular region, along with non-living
components
abiotic components - (answers)air, water, and non-living parts of soil
range - (answers)geographical distribution; abiotic & biotic determine range
biomes - (answers)major groupings of plant and animal communities defined by a dominant
vegetation type
climate - (answers)the prevailing, long-term weather conditions found in an area
tropical wet forests (rain forests) - (answers)found in equator regions where temperatures are
high and annual temperature is very low; produce abundant plant growth, lead to high above-
ground biomass
, boreal forest (taiga) - (answers)forms on subarctic lands, dominated by highly cold-tolerant
conifers; productivity is low, above-ground biomass is high because slow-growing tree species
may be long-lived and become big
tundra - (answers)found throughout the arctic regions; low productivity and low above-ground
biomass and its treeless
permafrost - (answers)soils are in a permanently frozen state; limits both the release and uptake
of nutrients
simulation studies - (answers)are based on computer models of weather patterns in local regions
observational studies - (answers)based on long-term monitoring at fixed site
historical studies - (answers)examine the relationship b/w CO2 levels, climate change, & the
distribution and abundance of organisms based on events millions of years ago
experiments - (answers)designed to simulate changed climate conditions and to record responses
by the organisms present
behavior - (answers)an action or response to a stimulus
behavioral biology - (answers)study of how organisms respond to particular stimuli from those
environments
proximate causation (mechanistic) - (answers)explains how actions occur
