Across
  1. 3. Shows energy transfer from autotrophs to heterotrophs
  2. 6. Organisms at higher trophic levels have a greater number of toxins/chemicals stored in their tissues
  3. 7. Study of the interactions between organisms and their non-living environment
  4. 8. Examples are hydrosphere, lithosphere, and atmosphere
  5. 9. Gradual establishment of an ecosystem beginning from bare rock with no life; begins with pioneer species
  6. 11. Cycle that involves photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, deforestation, and combustion
  7. 13. Shows amount of energy, biomass, or individuals available at each trophic level
  8. 14. Cycle that involves evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff
Down
  1. 1. Shows complex feeding relationships in an ecosystem + shows more biodiversity
  2. 2. Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed
  3. 4. Cycle that involves conversion of nitrogen gas to ammonium, ammonium to nitrates, and nitrates back to nitrogen gas
  4. 5. A chemical process that biomimics the natural process of photosynthesis
  5. 10. Gradual establishment of an ecosystem where soil remain
  6. 12. Examples are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, bioenergy, and ocean energy
