Question
Answer
Habitat   Home for organisms, provides food, shelter, water and temp needed for survival  
🗑
Biome   large geographic areas with similar climates and ecosystems which inclue tundra, taiga,temperate deciduous forest, rainforest, grassland, desert.  
🗑
Micro Habitat   tiny place or home that provides food, shelter, water and temp needed for living  
🗑
Organism   a thing that is alive, a living thing  
🗑
Biotic   living factors or components such as plants and animals  
🗑
Abiotic   non living factors or components such as light, water, soil, temp, air, rocks,etc.  
🗑
Biodiversity   the existance of a wide variety of species in an ecosystem or biome.  
🗑
Contribute   to give or play a part in bringing about an end or result  
🗑
Sustainability   the ability to support and withstain over time  
🗑
Ecosystem   all the interactions of organisms with each other as well as their environment  
🗑
Ecological Succession   the normal, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area over time  
🗑
Pioneer Species   first organisms such as lichens, mosses, ferns that come to an area but do not require soil.  
🗑
Primary Succession   The process of ecological succession that begins in a place without soil and life, only rock. ex: volcanic island  
🗑
Secondary Succession   succession that begins in a place that already has soil and once had living things. ex: forest fire  
🗑
Lichens   symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga or bacteria and alga

grasslands   adequate rain grasses, grains, cattle, sheep, zebra, lions, wildebeast  
🗑
desert   driest, very little rain, hot, cacti, snakes, lizzards  
🗑
rainforest   warm, wet high biodiversity due to many layers of habitats, near equator  
🗑
plants in tundra   lichens, mosses, grasses, very small shrubs  
🗑
permafrost   permanently frozen soil below the thawed surface layer  
🗑
tundra plants are usually small   soil has few nutrients,cold temp,short growing season, plant roots can't break thru or penetrate frozen soil  
🗑
which biome has the greatest biodiversity?   tropical rainforest  
🗑
Why does the number of pioneer species in an area decrease after time and ecological succession?   the larger, stronger plants over come the weaker ones.  
🗑
Does succession work to return    
🗑
