Aquatic means relating to water; living in or near water or taking place in water

the capture and storage of an element, like carbon, in the environment

a process, state, or measurement continues for an unlimited, unspecified, or unknown period of time without a foreseeable end

to produce and release a substance, such as hormones, enzymes, or sweat, from a cell, gland, or organ

to reduce the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent without adding more solute

limitations, boundary conditions, or restrictions that restrict the possible configurations, movements, or behaviors of a system

the specific standards, requirements, or rules used to judge, evaluate, or select scientific data, methods, or engineering designs

the maximum population size of a species that a specific environment can sustainably support indefinitely without degrading the habitat

a statistical measure expressing the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two or more variables

the mechanism-based, functional relationship where an initial event (cause) produces a specific, predictable outcome (effect)

the perception, evaluation, and appreciation of beauty, elegance, and simplicity within scientific theories, models, and data

something that is limited, bounded, or has an end, as opposed to being infinite. It refers to quantities that can be counted, measured, or completely defined within a set boundary (e.g., a finite set of data, a finite lifespan

the interdisciplinary study of how ecological, social, or engineered systems maintain functionality, adapt, and reorganize when facing shocks, disturbances, or stress

the unsustainable harvesting or consumption of renewable natural resources, such as plants, animals, or minerals, faster than they can replenish themselves.

the global ecological system integrating all living organisms (biota) and their relationships, including their interaction with the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), and atmosphere (air)

the solid, non-living part of Earth, encompassing all rocks, minerals, and landforms from the surface down to the inner core

the total amount of water on a planet, encompassing all liquid, frozen, and gaseous forms on the surface, underground, and in the atmosphere

a layer of gas and suspended solids extending from the Earth's surface up many thousands of miles, becoming increasingly thinner with distance but always held by the Earth's gravitational pull

to maintain a physical quantity (like energy, mass, or momentum) as constant within an isolated system during a physical or chemical process

Term	Definition
Aquatic	Aquatic means relating to water; living in or near water or taking place in water
Sequester	the capture and storage of an element, like carbon, in the environment
Indefinitely	a process, state, or measurement continues for an unlimited, unspecified, or unknown period of time without a foreseeable end
Secrete	to produce and release a substance, such as hormones, enzymes, or sweat, from a cell, gland, or organ
Dilute	to reduce the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent without adding more solute
Constraint	limitations, boundary conditions, or restrictions that restrict the possible configurations, movements, or behaviors of a system
Criterion	the specific standards, requirements, or rules used to judge, evaluate, or select scientific data, methods, or engineering designs
Carrying Capacity	the maximum population size of a species that a specific environment can sustainably support indefinitely without degrading the habitat
Correlation	a statistical measure expressing the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two or more variables
Causation	the mechanism-based, functional relationship where an initial event (cause) produces a specific, predictable outcome (effect)
Aesthetic	the perception, evaluation, and appreciation of beauty, elegance, and simplicity within scientific theories, models, and data
finite	something that is limited, bounded, or has an end, as opposed to being infinite. It refers to quantities that can be counted, measured, or completely defined within a set boundary (e.g., a finite set of data, a finite lifespan
resilient	the interdisciplinary study of how ecological, social, or engineered systems maintain functionality, adapt, and reorganize when facing shocks, disturbances, or stress
overexploitation	the unsustainable harvesting or consumption of renewable natural resources, such as plants, animals, or minerals, faster than they can replenish themselves.
biosphere	the global ecological system integrating all living organisms (biota) and their relationships, including their interaction with the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), and atmosphere (air)
geosphere	the solid, non-living part of Earth, encompassing all rocks, minerals, and landforms from the surface down to the inner core
hydrosphere	the total amount of water on a planet, encompassing all liquid, frozen, and gaseous forms on the surface, underground, and in the atmosphere
atmosphere	a layer of gas and suspended solids extending from the Earth's surface up many thousands of miles, becoming increasingly thinner with distance but always held by the Earth's gravitational pull
conserve	to maintain a physical quantity (like energy, mass, or momentum) as constant within an isolated system during a physical or chemical process
