1 Ch. 52 Warm-Up Name examples of biotic and abiotic factors in the environment surrounding LHS. Which biomes can be found in Colorado? Define the following terms (either on separate notecards or vocab list page): population community ecosystem biosphere

2 Warm-Up – Generating Hypotheses
Question: What type of cleaner will kill the most germs? Develop a hypothesis based on this question. Be sure to include: Independent variable (IV) Dependent variable (DV) What will your control be? What are some things that you will keep constant between test groups? Vocab terms: biogeography, fixed action pattern, sign stimulus, kinesis, taxis, imprinting, migration

3 An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere
Chapter 52 An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere

4 You Must Know The role of abiotic factors in the formation of biomes.
Features of freshwater and marine biomes. Major terrestrial biomes and their characteristics.

5 Ecology: the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment
The ecological study of species involves biotic and abiotic influences. Biotic = living (organisms – behaviors & interactions between organisms) Abiotic = nonliving (temp, water, salinity, sunlight, soil)

6 Heirarchy Organisms Population: group of individuals of same species living in a particular geographic area Community: group of populations of different species in an area Ecosystem: community of organisms + physical factors Landscape: mosaic of connected ecosystems Biosphere: global ecosystem

8 Climate: long-term prevailing weather conditions in a particular area
Climate = temperature + precipitation + sunlight + wind Macroclimate vs. microclimate: Macro: work at seasonal, regional or local level Micro: small-scale environmental variation (eg. under a log) Climate change: some species may not survive shifting ranges

9 Global Climate Patterns: Sunlight intensity

10 Global Climate Patterns: Air Circulation & Precipitation Patterns

11 Global Climate Patterns: Ocean Currents

12 Global Climate Patterns: Mountains affect rainfall

13 Which side of the canyon has more plants? Why?
Black Canyon of the Gunnison River

14 Biomes: major types of ecosystems that occupy very broad geographic regions

15 Climate and elevation determine biomes

16 Climograph: plot of temperature & precipitation in a particular region

17 Tropical Forest

18 Desert

19 Savanna

20 Chaparral

21 Temperate Grassland

22 Northern Coniferous Forest

23 Temperate Broadleaf Forest

24 Tundra

25 Lakes

26 Wetlands

27 Streams & Rivers

28 Estuaries

29 Intertidal Zones

30 Oceanic Pelagic Zone (Open Water)

31 Coral Reefs

32 Marine Benthic Zone

33 Biogeography: geographic distribution of species
Factors: Dispersal – movement away from area of origin Behavior – habitat selection Biotic factors – other species, food resources, competition, pollinators, predators Abiotic factors – temp, water, oxygen, salinity, sunlight, rocks & soil

34 What factors may have influenced the distribution of this species?
