Comparing Ecosystems Flashcards
Differences between them.
Terrestrial: sunlight and temperature are most important, supports less life.
Aquatic:rate of flow and water depth are most important.
Supports more life.
Similarities between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Variety of species
Populations and different trophic levels
Dependent on each other
If left in disturbed equilibrium is reached.
Describe the different biomes
Tundra- permafrost, not much biodiversity, not much precipitation
Boreal- low temperatures, not much biodiversity
Grassland-some precipitation, high winds, some biodiversity
Deciduous- best biodiversity, low precipitation, temperate.
An impact on each biome that humans cause.
Tundra- oil and gas exploration
Deciduous- deforestation
Boreal- hydroelectric development
Grassland-mining
