Living things adjust to a stimulus by a reaction called a……
Response
What do all living things share?
- organized
- reproduce
- change (grow and develop)
- adjust
Carbon Dioxide enters the biotic parts through……
Photosynthesis
Population grows rapidly until it collapses
Exponential growth
Sequential Community changes over time
Succession
Succession on a piece of land that is a void of life
Primary Succession
Succession due to a disturbance in the community
Secondary Succession
Community remains stable until it’s disturbed
Climax Community
Generally Biotic
Ex. Competition, disease
Density Dependent
Generally Abiotic
Ex. Drought, oxygen
Density Independent
Decline in habitat quality
Degradation
Splitting the habitat
Fragmentation
Unrestricted populations of organisms experience…..
Exponential growth
the tendency toward greater variety and density of plant and animal populations in an ecotone.
Edge effect
