AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE RESOURCE UTILIZATION AP EXAM VOCABULARY REVIEW Answer the following questions on a sheet of paper by matching the term with the correct definition/description. Check your answers by the final slide.

Questions 1 – 6: A. agroforestryD. bottom trawling B. aquacultureE. by-catch C. capture fisheriesF. clear-cutting 1. removal of all trees in an area 2. raising of fish & other aquatic species in captivity for harvest 3. any other species of fish, mammals, or birds that are caught that are not the target organism 4. fish production in which fish are caught in the wild & not raised in captivity for consumption 5. when trees & crops are planted together, creating a mutualistic symbiotic relationship between them 6. fishing technique in which ocean floor is literally scraped by heavy nets that smash everything in their path

Questions 7 – 12: A. conservationD. consumption B. contour plowingE. deforestation C. driftnetsF. ecosystem capital 7. nets that drift free in water & indiscriminately catch everything in their path 8. regulation of resource as so its use does not exceed capacity of resource to regenerate itself 9. value of natural resources 10. day to day use of environmental resources such as food, clothing, & housing 11. removal of trees for agricultural or exportation purposes 12. where rows of crops are plowed across hillside; prevents erosion

Questions 13 – 18: A. fisheryD. greenbelt B. ground firesE. intercropping C. long liningF. malnutrition 13. practice of planting bands of different crops across a hillside 14. devoted to catching, processing, or selling of fish, shellfish, or other aquatic animals 15. poor nutrition that results from an insufficient or poorly balanced diet 16. open or forested areas built at outer edge of city 17. use of long lines that have baited hooks & will be taken by numerous aquatic organisms 18. smoldering fires that take place in bogs or swamps & can burn underground for days or weeks

Questions 19 – 24: A. mineral depositD. mining B. monocultureE. natural resources C. nonrenewable resources F. no-till methods 19. excavation of earth for purpose of extracting ore or minerals 20. when farmers plant seeds without using a plow to turn the soil 21. when just one type of plant is planted in large area 22. area where particular mineral is concentrated 23. biotic & abiotic natural ecosystems 24. resources that are often formed by very slow geologic processes, considered incapable of being regenerated within realm of human existence

Questions 25 – 30: A. old growth forestD. overgrazed B. preservationE. production C. renewable resourcesF. second growth forests 25. use of environmental resources for profit 26. areas where cutting has occurred & a new, younger forest has arisen 27. forests that has never been cut, have not been seriously disturbed for several hundred years 28. grass is consumed by animals at a faster rate than it can regrow 29. maintenance of species or in order to ensure its perpetuation, with no concern as to their potential monetary value 30. resources, such as plants & animals, which can be regenerated if harvested at sustainable yields

Questions 31 – 36: A. selective cuttingD. silviculture B. shelter-wood cuttingE. slash & burn C. surface firesF. tailings 31. piles of gangue, which is waste material that results from mining 32. management of forest plantations for purpose of harvesting timber 33. removal of select trees in an area; leaves majority of habitat in places 34. typically burn only forest’s underbrush & do little damage to mature trees 35. when mature trees are cut over a period of time; leaves mature trees which can reseed forest 36. area of vegetation is cut down & burned before being planted with crops

Questions 37 – 40: A. traditional subsistence agriculture B. terracing C. tree farm D. uneven-aged management 37. planted & managed tracts of trees of same are that are harvested for commercial use 38. when each family in a community grows crops for themselves & relies on animal & human labor to plant & harvest crops 39. broad category under which selective cutting & shelter- wood cutting fall; selective deforestation 40. creating flat platforms in hillside that provide a level planting surface, wich reduces soil runoff from slope
