Across
- 5. first species to return and make an area habitable for other species
- 6. 0-45* lat, rare biome,hot and dry summer, cool and moist winter, thickets, fires often, urban sprawl
- 9. 0-30* lat, wet and dry seasons, drought tolerant trees, habitat loss
- 10. 50-70* lat, largest terrestrial biome, cold climate and long winters, conifers, climate change and logging
- 15. line graph showing temp over time and a bar graph showing average precip over time
- 16. 0-30* lat, humid year round, lots of plant species, poor and thin soil, habitat destruction
- 18. how quickly and completely an ecosystem recovers from a disturbance
- 19. prevents erosion and slows the flow of sediment which settles to the bottom and creates a rich habitat
- 22. return of an ecosystem after a disturbance
- 24. end result of succession, a stable community that won't change unless disturbed
- 25. gradual process of change or replacement of species in an ecosystem
Down
- 1. 30-60* north of south of the equator
- 2. 70-90* lat, little precip, coldest biome, permafrost, few plants, many bogs and swamps
- 3. 30-60* lat, lots of rain, seasonal climate, trees lose leaves in winter, logging and urban sprawl
- 4. measure of how much a disturbance affects the flow of energy and matter in the ecosystem
- 7. Trying to reverse anthropogenic damage to an ecosystem to restore its natural function
- 8. 30-60* lat, cold winters and warm summers, good rainfall, rarest biome, mostly conifers, logging and urban sprawl
- 11. 0-30* lat, dry and hot, mostly grasses, fertile but dry soil, grazing pressure
- 12. 30-60* lat, mostly grasses, fertile soil, drought resistant, overgrazing
- 13. greater than 60* north or south of the equator
- 14. creating a new ecosystem where none existed before
- 17. dry, near equator or in high lats, drought resistant plants, thin and poor soil, threatened by collectors
- 20. 30* north or south of the equator
- 21. the distance of a place n or s of the equator
- 23. Areas with distinctive climates and organisms
