Ecology Questions

this biome is the most biodiverse in the world. temperatures are warm throughout the year and the annual precipitation varies from 80 to 180 inches per year. the soil is very mineral poor because any nutrients are instantly absorbed

This is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit?

this biome has mild winters and hot dry summers. they often occur on the mountain slopes of southern California as well as the land surrounding the Mediterranean sea. the soil is typically thin and not fertile due to the high concentration of rocks. many of the plants that live here are drought resistant

occurs in extreme northern latitudes where the snow melts seasonally. this biome has harsh long winters and short summers. the average rainfall is only between 4 and 10 inches per year. the plant life here is usually small and shrub like

this type of succession occurs in an area where life has never previously existed

this biome occurs in areas of seasonal rainfall and high average temperature. the biome has wide expanses of grasses interrupted by occasional trees. the animal life is dominated by herds of hoofed mammals and large predators

this is a linear representation of energy flow through organisms

Winters in this biome are cold. The average rain falls about 20 inches per year and has relatively acidic soil due to the decomposition of Pineneedles. The dominant plant here is conifer trees.

this is a symbiotic relationship in which one member benefits and one is unaffected

what term includes all the biotic and abiotic interactions between organisms

this biome has hot summers, cold, winners, and low rainfall (only about 10 to 30 inches per year). they are defined by tall grasses that are often controlled by wildfires. The soil is typically rich in nutrients due to the decomposition of the grasses.

this freshwater ecosystem is defined by grass like plants, high, bacteria, activity, and slow flowing water. They also play an important role in the prevention of flooding.

organisms that can create energy with the use of the sun use this process

this survivorship type shows no relation between age and the probability of death

this type of organism is the bottom of every energy pyramid

what trait does not describe an r-selected species

what organism would be considered a k-selected species

this survivorship type shows a greater chance of death when young

What is a non-renewable resource?
