1.1 - 1.3 Flashcards
Temporal
Coyote day
Wolf night
Spatial
Birds nest in different sections of a tree
Morphological
Birds beaks hunt specific seeds
Marsh, Swamp, Bogs
Freshwater
Coral Reefs, Estuaries, Ocean
Marine (salty and ocean)
SALt in H2O determines survival and usability
SALinity
determines amount of O2 in H2O
FlOw
Amount of sunlight reaching plants below surface for photosynthesis
Depth
Warmer the H2O, what happens to O2 that affects organisms?
Warmer H2O=Less dissolved O2
–> less organisms supported=more bacteria
Area with water submerging soil (submerged/saturated) thats shallow enough for emerging plants
Wetland
lilypads, cattails, reeds belong to a
wetland
What does wetland cause? (3)
Less floods
(The plants) Filters pollutants draining with the H2O in wetland
High plant growth (Water + dead nutrients) in sediments
River (freshwater) empties into Ocean (marine)
Estuary
What does an estuary cause? (2)
Mangrove trees adapt to mix of fresh + salt
River depositing sediments (has nutrients) = high productivity/plant growth
Narrow band of coastline between high and low tide
Intertidal Zone
