73
Q

Why more trophic levels in aquatic?

A

Fish are more efficient at capturing energy from food they eat in biomass than land creatures. They don’t regulate temp to keep warm = energy savings

74

A

38%

75
Q

Regulated wetlands activities:

A

filling/dumping dirtalter pre-existing damslevees

76

77
Q

Ocean Zones:

A

oceanic photo zoneneriticoceanic aphoticbenthic

78
Q

oceanic photo zone

A

light penetration zone (phytoplankton), pelagic creatures

79
Q

neritic

A

near shore, high nutrients, high energy = high productivity

80
Q

oceanic aphotic

A

no sunlight, no energy, relatively high nutrients, low O2 limits life (upwelling), more diversity than once thought, hydrothermal vents basis for life, autotrophs (sulfur bacteria)

81
Q

benthic

A

bottom substrate, all life attached to bottom, sediments

82
Q

2 sources of nutrients:

A
  1. upwelling: ocean currents bring organic matter up (dead bio) = nutrient-rich filtered2. nutrients from land (rocks), rivers, streams
83
Q

2 outcomes occurring with nutrient additions to aquatic ecosystem:

A
  1. decomp: low O2 = “hypoxia” (dead zone)2. no decomp: CO2 captured in sediments = “carbon sequestration” -> iron added = “ocean fertilization”; algal bloom: from high nutrients => toxic dinoflagellates
84
Q

samples of ecosystems out of balance: Lake Erie

A

industry phosphorus from detergent soaps; algal blooms + dead zones, inedible food. Result: clean water act regulated phosphorus

85
Q

samples of ecosystems out of balance: Gulf of Mexico:

A

N + phosphorus from farm fields to Mississippi river to ocean; algal bloom “jubilee”, O2 free hypoxic dead zone

86
Q

samples of ecosystems out of balance: Oregon Coast Dead Zone:

A

upwelling adding nutrients for phytoplankton, surface waters

87
Q

HABs

A

harmful algal blooms occurring with increased nutrients @ late summer - increased energy; organisms: diatomsdinoflagellatescyanobacteria (anabaena)

88
Q

How ocean acidification occurs:

A

increased CO2 absorbed in oceanin neritic zones; arthropods most affected

89
Q

process of oceanic acidification

A
  1. CO2 absorbed by ocean2. CO2 + H20 makes Carbonic Acid (H2CO3)3. that separates into; H+ and HCO3 (bicarbonate)4. Ca2 + CO3(2-) (Calcium carbonate) makes up skeletons and shells5. H+ from carbonic acid binds with CO3 making it so arthropods can’t make hard shellaffected: corals, lobsters, oysters, prawn, clams, crabs, coralline algae
