Answer: ___________ What are BIOTIC FACTORS?ABIOTIC FACTORS?Answer: ___________ What is a MICROHABITAT?Answer: ___________ Directions: A) Get into groups of 3.B) In your teams, create maps of the school grounds (ECC area/school gardens) Work first to draw the main structures, boundaries, etc.Then add details/descriptions of the various habitat/land types (see suggestions below)SUGGESTED CLASSIFICATION OF HABITAT/LAND TYPESGrass/meadow – maintained (mowed)Grass/meadow/shrub – not maintained (“wild”)Savannah/wooded grassland – mixed trees and grassForest – mostly conifer (needles)Forest – mostly deciduous (leaves)Forest – even mix of coniferous and deciduousWetland/marshSand/beachAgriculture/farmsDeveloped – suburban (houses, some green space)Developed – urban (in the city, little/no green space)Water – large pond, lake or oceanOther (be sure to describe)As you draw your map, be sure to labelboth natural and man-made featureshabitat/land types of each areainclude title and any legends/keys to mapscale of drawingNorth arrow ()C) Once you have your map, walk QUIETLY around the allowed school ground area to determine biotic and abiotic factors. Make an extensive list. Create a “relationship web” to illustrate how these factors are related to one another.D) Choose a particular spot to sit with your team. Focus on one particular spot. Complete the table below as you explore the concept of a “microhabitat”.MicrohabitatDescription of MicrohabitatOrganisms FoundExample: Oak TreeExample: soil under flowering bushLeaves, branches, trunk, acorns of oak treeShady, moist, with dead leaves covering groundENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE 2019-20CONCEPTUAL REVIEWBiomes: Ecosystems on LandDefine biosphere – Define biome - Biomes are defined by two sets of characteristics. Define and give an example of each.Abiotic –Biotic – The two most significant abiotic factors that influence life in a biome are _________________ and ____________________.What is latitude?Label the equator (0°), South Pole (90°S), and North Pole (90°S) on the globe.What is the relationship between latitude and average temperature?Shade in and label each of the following areas on the map above. (These are good to know for reference but you don’t need to memorize these exact latitudes for the test).The tropics (23°N to 23°S).The subtropics (23°N to 38°N and 23°S to 38°S).The temperate zone (38°N to 66°N and 38°S to 66°S)The Arctic Circle (66°N)The Antarctic Circle (66°S) What is altitude?What is the relationship between altitude and average temperature?What are two ways that a large body of water can affect a biome?According to the rain shadow effect, which side of the mountain receives more precipitation?Which side receives less precipitation?Label the windward slope and leeward slope on the mountain diagram below. 41148001206500ClimatographsDefine climatograph – What does the line graph represent? What does the bar graph represent?Describe the seasonal changes present in Tofino, British Columbia.DesertsDescribe conditions that are true of all deserts.For each of these types of deserts, explain why they are so dry, and give an example.DesertCause of Low PrecipitationExample LocationSubtropicalRain shadowCoastalTemperatePolarWhat is a succulent plant?GrasslandsDescribe conditions that are true of all grasslands.For each of these types of grasslands, describe the climate and give an example.GrasslandClimateExampleSavannaTropical GrasslandPrairieTemperate GrasslandTundraPolar GrasslandHow are prairie plants specially adapted to recovering from fire, cold, and grazing animals?What is permafrost?ForestsHow to the precipitation levels of most forests compare to grasslands and deserts?Describe each of these layers found in forests:Emergent layer –Canopy –Understory –Shrub layer –Forest floor –What conditions are found in a tropical rain forest?How are nutrient cycles affected by these conditions?How are temperate rainforests different than tropical ones?Why does the Northern Pacific coast of North America have idea conditions for temperate rainforests?What conditions are found in a deciduous forest? What kinds of leaves are typically found in a deciduous forest?What conditions are found in a boreal forest?Why do coniferous trees have needle-shaped leaves?Why do coniferous trees have a cone shape?Ecological Succession Define succession –What is a pioneer species?What is a climax species?Define primary succession – What factors cause the breakdown of rocks into soil that can support life? Label each of the different types of plants that grow during the stages of primary succession. ................
