| A | B |
|---|
| Ecological Footprint | amount of land and resources needed for your daily lifestyle |
| Endangered Species | species whose numbers are low enough that they are at risk of extinction |
| Acid Rain | Combustion emissions undergo chemical reactions and become lower in pH - negatively impacts ecosystems |
| Invasive Species | introduced/exotic species - not supposed to be in that ecosystem and are pushing out native species |
| Smog | Air pollution that forms over urban areas from cars and industry |
| Indicator Species | Cannot tolerate pollution or damaged ecosystems - if it is not found it shows that the ecosystem is degraded |
| Clumped Distribution | herds, flocks, schools, smacks... |
| Random Distribution | Organisms live solitary lives - no set territories |
| Uniform Distribution | Spread evenly through ecosystem - set territories |
| Exponential Growth | Growth is rapid - growth upon growth - J Curve |
| Carrying Capacity | largest population the environment can support |
| Density Independent Factor | will take out members of the population regardless of if they are spread out or packed together |
| Logistic Growth | Growth is limited - begins to level off - S Curve |
| Limiting Factor | Something that keeps a populations numbers in check |
| Density Dependent Factor | will take out members of a population because they are packed together |
