ENR 3300 TEST WITH 100% COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Forestry - ANSWER Science and art of creating and managing forests and associated
resources to meet desired goals and needs of society.
- Can be natural or plantations.
- Manage for recreational use, animal habitats, production of timber, etc.
Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences - ANSWER The study of fresh water, marine, and
estuarine systems and species in order to foster long term sustainable use of aquatic
resources.
- Same management as forestry but for aquatics.
Wildlife and Ecology - ANSWER The study of the relationship between wildlife and their
environment to meet conservation and management goals.
- Same management as forestry.
Resource - ANSWER A stock or supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that
can be drawn on by a person or organization in order to function effectively.
- Countries collective means of supporting itself.
Natural Resource - ANSWER Materials or substances that occur in nature and can be
used for economic gain.
- Anything provided by nature.
- Overall well being of a country determined by abundance and condition.
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable - ANSWER - Renewable = replaced by natural processes
and if it replenishes with some time.
- Ex: Timber, Sunlight, Wildlife, etc.
- Nonrenewable = cannot be produced, grown, generated, or used on a scale which
can sustain its consumption rate.
- Ex: Fossil fuels, Types of Nuclear Power.
- Renewability depends on the rate it is used and can be generated.
Sustainability - ANSWER Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Conservation - ANSWER The wise use of the Earth's resources by humanity.
,- Resources are used in a conservative approach.
- Protecting the Earth's capacity for self-renewal.
- Ex: Commercial forests can be managed in this manner.
Preservation - ANSWER Non-use or limited use of resources, such that their state is
maintained, restored, or enhanced through management.
- Leaves resources for future generations for ecological functions.
- Ex: Wilderness is not significantly altered by humans.
Consumptive use - ANSWER Extracting items from the land.
- Ex: hunting or fishing.
Non-consumptive use - ANSWER Without extraction of any resources.
- Ex: Bird watching.
Aldo Leopold - ANSWER wrote A Sand County Almanac published a year after his death
in 1948; promoted a "Land Ethic" in which humans are ethically responsible for serving
as the protectors of nature.
- Father of Wildlife Management.
- Founded science of game management.
Fish - ANSWER Gill bearing aquatic vertebrate that lacks limbs.
Fishery - ANSWER Unit engaged in raising and or harvesting of fish.
- defined by location, species, area of water, method of fishing, and purpose of activity.
- Can be many different organisms.
- Fisher components = Biota, Habitat, and Human user.
Direct User - ANSWER Directly interacts with the targeted species.
- Ex: Angler and Fishery manager.
Indirect User - ANSWER Interacts with the habitat for another purpose, which in turn
affects the fishery.
- Ex: Farming and fertilizer use along side of the body of water.
Indeterminate Growth - ANSWER Growth is continuous throughout the organism's life.
- Ex: Fish
Determinate Growth - ANSWER Growth is terminated at some particular size or stage of
, life.
Ectothermic - ANSWER Body temperature is directly regulated by the environment.
- Ex: Fish
Endothermic - ANSWER Body temperature is regulated internally.
- Ex: Wildlife
Fish VS. Wildlife - ANSWER - Fish = Ectothermic, Indeterminate growth, low oxygen
content in environment, restricted movement, produce more offspring, and small
change in temperature of environment.
- Wildlife - Endothermic, Determinate growth, high oxygen content, not restricted
movement, produce less offspring, and large change in temperature of environment.
Maximum Sustained Yield - ANSWER The largest average yield that can be continuously
taken from a species stock under existing environmental conditions.
Precautionary Principle - ANSWER Management should be more cautious when the
information is uncertain, unreliable, or inadequate.
- Fish below the MSY.
Wildlife - ANSWER Undomesticated, free-ranging terrestrial vertebrates.
Migratory Bird - ANSWER A bird that travels from one place to another at regular times
often over long distances.
Resident - ANSWER Usually ranges are confined within state boundaries.
- Ex: Northern Bobwhite
Transient - ANSWER Species that are not endemic nor move through a state during
normal migration.
- Ex: American Morten in Ohio.
Typical Management Goals - ANSWER - Increase/Decrease wildlife population.
- Sustainability to harvest wildlife population.
- Monitor population.
- Habitat = Refuges, habitat management.
- Population = Game laws, restocking, predator control.
North American Model of Wildlife Conservation - ANSWER 1. Wildlife as a public trust
resource.
