Across
  1. 3. Relatively small areas with numerous endemic species and many endangered species
  2. 5. Extensive regions of undisturbed areas surrounded by areas altered by human activity and used for economic gain
  3. 7. The division of landscapes/habitats
  4. 13. A species considered likely to become endangered
  5. 14. Examining organisms and their environment in urban settings
  6. 15. Species that humans move intentionally or accidentally from species’ native locations to new geographic regions
  7. 18. Toxins become more concentrated at higher trophic levels
  8. 19. Atmospheric gases trap heat, warming the planet
Down
  1. 1. Maximum nutrient amount an ecosystem can absorb without damage
  2. 2. A downward spiral that can cause a species to go extinct
  3. 4. Economic development meeting the current population’s needs without hurting the ability of future generations to meet their needs
  4. 6. Excess nutrients cause algal blooms and oxygen depletion
  5. 8. Atmospheric layer that blocks harmful UV-B radiation
  6. 9. all the processes through which natural ecosystems help sustain human life
  7. 10. Uses ecology, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, and evolutionary biology to conserve biological diversity at all levels
  8. 11. Small strips/clumps of habitat connecting otherwise isolated patches
  9. 12. Islands of biodiversity surrounded by habitats altered by human activity
  10. 16. A species in danger of extinction
  11. 17. Boundaries between ecosystems with unique physical characteristics
