Q

5 main process that replenish nutrient reservoirs

A
  1. dissolving in water from the atmopshere (dissolution)
  2. excretion (eliminate waste) and decomposing
  3. upwelling
  4. run-off
  5. tectonic activity

Q

Carbon cycle

A
  • uptake within food that is eaten
  • expelled through our breath
  • sequestered (incorporated into tissues) by plants through photsynthesis

Q

Magnesium cycle

A
  • all photosynthsis
    input- erosion of rock and ferlizer
    taken in by photosynthsis used to make chlorphyll

Q

areas of limited productivity

A
  • polar seas there is not enough light for phytoplankton or carbon cycle
  • not enough light in the deep sea
  • intertidal zone as there is inconsistant sequestation

Q

biological use of nitrogen

A

make proteins and synthesis amino acids

19
Q

biological use of carbon

A

synthesis ALL organic material

20
Q

biological use of magnesium

A

makes chlorophyll for all plants

21
Q

biological use of calcium

A

production of bones, coral and shells

22
Q

biological use of phosphorus

A

production of bones and synthsis of DNA

23
Q

what are the 3 domains

A
  • archae
  • bacteria
  • eukarya
24
Q

Kingdoms

A
  • protista (unicellular some autotrophs)
  • fungi
  • plante
  • animalia (feed on plants or animals)
25
what is the main nutrient needed for coral growth
calcum carbonate CaCo3
26
what pylum is coral
cnidaria
27
3 types of coral
small polyp stony large polyp stony soft
28
soft coral
- minimal Ca needed - easiest to maintain - not reef building (ahermatypic)
29
LPS coral
- hard Ca skelton - lots of tenticles - not largerly reef building
30
SPS coral
- hardest to maintain since needs the most calcium - buidls off of dead coral - provide habitat and are reef buidling
31
requirments for formation of coral
- water temp range 23-25'C idea 16-35'C - top 20 meters for photsynthsi - clear water for light pentation - 8-8.3 pH - substrate and salinity - apporapriate rocky surface
32
features of barrier reef
deep and wide lagoon
33
atoll formation
- volcano eurption - fringing reef is formed - because of depth goes through subsudence and there is weathering that occurs at the top, barier reef - volcano completly submegred is now an atoll
34
two types of erosion corals face
- bio-erosion: predators cuch as COTS or butterfly fish, and human interfernce who overharvest tritons trumpet - phsyical: storm damage cause of hurcains and physical breakage of coral or abrassive sediments, desication and exposure to change in pH, blast fishing
35
coral affect on ecosystems
- nursing grounds - deacrese in biodiversrty (if die)
36
coral affect on human pop.
- loss of wave despation - higher wave energy - fall of human fishing industries - shore and costal propeties are exposed to damages from possible flooding
37
primary objecttives of artifical reefs
- strucutal: increase solid sediment for coral settlement - biological: increase coral coverage - physical: better physical conditions
38
broad reef assessment tecquines
- fram quadrats - transect
39
line transect
sample mething involves counting species that touch the transect
40
continuse sampling
any species that touches the line is recorded along the whole transect
41
systematic sampling
species presence is only recorded at the regular fixed interval (every 5 meters.
42
belt transect
counting species in frame quadrats placed adjacent to transept
43
what does simpson index measure
a biodiversity for species richness and evenness
