Q

how do plants cope with low water availability

A
  • salt glands (to release extra salt)
  • high osmotic pressure (less difference form mean)
  • cam metabolism
  • estomas interior
  • pelos = - SA
  • folhas enroladas
    -folhs suculentas = - stress hidrico
    -cera = impermeabiliza

Q

what do buriers do

A

 inject water out as they push down
 water dependent – need of humidity and death of drought
 low tide – can dry and asphyxiate,
 when waves crash = + pressure (waves bomb water into sand) (oxygen is not a limitant factor)
 move with the shoreline because fish and brids (predators) don’t predate commonly there
 to escape predators
 can come out at night

16
Q

survival mech of animals in cliffs to what factor

A

direct sunlight and high salinity

17
Q

muddy sand problem to organisms

A

oxygen (organisms that are anoxic release bad odors)

18
Q

what is survival charact of mollusks

A

iron deposits to make them heavy and not susceptible to water mov

19
Q

what is survival charact of o sand dollars

A

accumulate Fe

20
Q

habits and circadian rhythms

A

 scototaxis – attraction of dark areas
 phototaxis – light areas attraction
 lecitotrophs – only eat egg yolk
 planctotrophs – eat plankton
 usage of full moon = maré vivas -> to lay eggs and these will be washed in the next maré viva = protection against being washed

21
Q

common birds

A

limícolas

22
Q

algae present

A

 diatoms in surf zone, but also with their mucus production they become part of the sediments
 macrofitas – washed from the water; plastic can also be carried with these big floating strands, can act as shelter for small organisms as well as food source for herbivorous invertebrates, most common:
 sargassum - from currents from gulf
 rugulopteryx

23
Q

how is N incorporated into food loop

A
  • kelp – 96% nitrogen from the algae can be incorporated into microbial biomass
24
Q

who consumes most dead algae in shores

A

bacteria

25
Q

what is a dissipative food webb

A

= loss of energy (not circular) – nutrients are limitant factors

26
Q

name for animals that live in middle of sediments

A

infauna

27
Q

macroalgas estão geralmente ausentes à excepção

A

Ulva e Enteromorpha

28
Q

praias de maior energia, os produtores primários são

Q

riqueza específica tende a aumentar com a —– da exposição
