Chapter 11 Questions Chapter 11 Question 1 Describe the collapse of the cod fishery in the northwest Atlantic and some of its side effects Collapse: The overfishing through Industrial fish harvesting methods caused the collapse of Cod in the Northwest Atlantic in 1992. Side effects: Severely damaged New Finland?s economy, 20,000 fishermen out of work, Cod population still has not recovered, lead to collapse of other species such as sharks. Describe the effects of trawler fishing, purse-seine fishing, longlining, and drift-net fishing. Trawler fishing: Used to catch fish and shellfish that live on or near the ocean floor. Involves a funnel-shaped net along the ocean floor. Destroys ocean floor habitats.

Chapter 8 aquatic life zones The aquatic equivalents of biomes are called aquatic life zones. benthos The third type, benthos, consists of bottom dwellers such as oysters, which anchor themselves to one spot; clams and worms, which burrow into the sand or mud; and lobsters and crabs, which walk about on the sea floor. coastal wetlands coastal land areas covered with water all or part of the year coastal zone the warm, nutrient-rich, shallow water that extends from the high-tide mark on land to the gently sloping, shallow edge of the?continental shelf. coral reefs form in clear, warm coastal waters of the tropics and subtropics. cultural eutrophication

Chapter 3 Communities and Biomes Communities Life in a Community Limiting factor: any biotic or abiotic factor that restricts the existence, numbers, reproduction, or distribution of organisms. Tolerance: the ability of an organism to withstand fluctuations in biotic and abiotic environmental factors Succession: Changes over Time Succession: the orderly, natural changes and species replacements that take place in the communities of an ecosystem Succession occurs in stages. At each stage, different species of plants and animals may be present. Primary succession: the colonization of barren land by communities of organisms The first species to take hold in an area like this are called pioneer species.

Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment. 2. Study Figure 52.2 in your text. It shows the different levels of the biological hierarchy studied by ecologists. Notice also the different types of questions that might be studied by an ecologist at each level of study. Use this figure to define or explain the following terms: organismal ecology: Organismal ecology, which includes the subdisciplines of physiological, evolutionary, and behavioral ecology, is concerned with how an organism?s

Freshwater chapter AP Environmental case study: The case study for this chapter is centered on the Colorado River and Las Vegas. The river supplies many states with the necessary water for people to live in the area, but as of late the river has been drained. This is due in part to the city of Las Vegas using ?more than their fair share? of the water. The city is in the middle of a very dehydrated area and as a result the city uses more and more water each year as it grows. This is considered and environmental concern in that the freshwater from the river is being consumed at a rate considered to be unsustainable to the current state of freshwater usage. Without any signs of water usage slowing in Las Vegas and other cities, the river is gradually being drained away.

Ecology Study Guide Notes Chapter 50: Intro to Ecology The Scope -3 main questions: Where do they live? Why do they live where they do? How many are there? -Ecology helps reveal the richness of the biosphere and helps humans understand how to protect that diversity and richness which is now under attack. 50.1 Ecology is the study between organisms and the environment - Naturalists began studying organisms in their environment. Humans have also had need to know about organisms for hunting and gathering. - Ecology is very much an experimental science (field experiments). The difficulty to provide consistent results has resulted in many innovations regarding experimental science. Ecology and Evolution
