Q

Site Selection Process

A

Step 1: Clarify Project Objectives and Site Requirements
Step 2: Choose the Site Selection Criteria
Step 3: Collect Site Data and Select Potential Sites
Step 4: Evaluate Each Site’s Sustainability
Step 5: Rank the Alternatives Sites and Select the Best One

Q

____________ have both biotic and abiotic components, and the ecological structure and function of landscapes are influenced by the complex interplay of biological, physical, and cultural systems.

A

Ecosystems

19
Q

a transdisciplinary science concerned with landscape structure, function, and change.

A

Landscape ecology

20
Q

Both________ and ________ can help to inform more context-sensitive land use planning at regional, community, and sites scales.

A

basic and applied research in landscape ecology

21
Q

is an aggregation of interacting species living together in the same
place.

A

Ecological Community

22
Q
  • the spatial arrangement of habitat patches and corridors, along with the intervening land uses and land covers
    – strongly influences biodiversity and other indicators of ecosystem health.
A

Landscape Pattern

23
Q

the spatial boundaries of ecological communities – are especially
important areas biologically, where animals may find shelter in one ecotone but seek food in another habitat.

A

Ecotones

24
Q

The __________ of an organism is the place where it lives or the place where one would go to find it.

A

habitat

25
Q

The ecological ______, however, is the position or status of an organism within its community and ecosystem resulting from the organism’s structural adaptations, physiological responses, and specific behaviors (inherited and/or learned).

A

niche

26
Q

By analogy, biologically speaking:
- the habitat is the organism’s “_______”,

A

address

27
Q

By analogy, biologically speaking:
the niche is its “______”,

A

profession

28
Q

or sometimes referred as exotic species are particularly successful
colonizers when the new habitats present minimal competitive controls that limit their growth and reproduction.

A

Invasive Species

29
Q

Classification of wetlands on the basis of plant and soil conditions:

A
  • Areas with hydrophytes and hydric soils. (marshes, swamps, and
    bogs)
  • Areas without soils with\ hydrophytes. (aquatic beds and seaweed-covered rocky shores)
  • Areas without soil and without hydrophytes (gravel beaches and tidal flats) that are periodically flooded.
30
Q

Five general classes and several subclasses wetland classification
scheme:

A
  • Marine (open ocean and its associated coastline)
  • Estuarine (tidal waters of coastal rivers and embayment, salty tidal marshes, mangrove swamps, and tidal flats)
  • Riverine (rivers and streams)
  • Lacustrine (lakes, reservoirs, and large ponds)
  • Palustrine (marshes, wet meadows, fens, playas, potholes, bogs, swamps, and small, shallow ponds)
31
Q

-are critically important elements in the built environment’s green
infrastructure.

A

Plants

32
Q

Purpose of Trees

A
  • serve multiple design functions that directly benefit people and the environment.
  • help clean the air and create habitat for insects.
  • serve as wind breaks, provide shade, and reduce the costs – and
    environmental impacts – of heating and cooling nearby buildings.
33
Q

Four factors that affect the economic value of trees:

A
  • Size
  • Species
  • Condition
  • Location
