Across
- 2. results from seasonal, diurnal, and/or lunar influences on the environment
- 3. larger areas have more species than smaller areas
- 4. variation of the environmental structure at a regional or local scale can influence diversity in the landscape
- 6. when process begins in a lifeless area where soil has not yet formed
- 10. one species increases the probability of a second species becoming established by changing environmental conditions (abiotic or biotic)
- 14. when existing community has been cleared by disturbance that leaves soil intact
Down
- 1. having multiple species of the same food consumer group that increases diversity
- 5. large and close islands have more species compared to small and far islands
- 7. use of a resource by one species such that it is less or unavailable for other species
- 8. influence on community is proportionally greater than its numbers would suggest
- 9. number of species in a community
- 11. one species decreases the probability of another species becoming stablished by changing environmental conditions (abiotic or biotic)
- 12. the most stable association of species achieves following succession
- 13. number of species and relative abundance of each (# of individuals per species)
- 15. sequence of changes in a biological community following disturbance or creation of a new habitat
