Science Warm-up 3/19/2012
• ~52. There is a dead man lying in the desert next to a rock. What happened?
• 62. Two children born in the same hospital, in the same hour, day, and year, have the same mother and father, but are not twins.• What happened?

• ~52. The dead man is Superman; the rock is Green Kryptonite. Invent a reasonable scenario from there.
• ~62. The children are two of a set of triplets.

Chapter 3 Overview
• Big Idea: Limiting factors and ranges of tolerance are factors that determine where terrestrial biome and aquatic biomes exist.
• Section 1: Community Ecology• Section 2: Terrestrial Biomes• Section 3: Aquatic Ecosystems

Section 1: Community Ecology
• Main idea: All living organisms are limited by factors in the environment.
• Key Concepts:–Communities p.60– Ecological Succession p.62
![Page 6: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Community
• A biological community is a group of interacting populations that occupy the same area at the same time.
• Communities are affected by things called limiting factors.
![Page 7: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Limiting Factors
• Any abiotic factor or biotic factor that restricts the numbers, reproduction, or distribution of organisms is called a limiting factor.• Includes sunlight, climate,
temperature, water, nutrients, fire, soil chemistry, and space, and other living things

Range of Tolerance
• An upper limit and lower limit that define the conditions in which an organism can survive
• The ability of any organism to survive when subjected to abiotic factors or biotic factors is called tolerance.

Ecological Succession
• The change in an ecosystem that happens when one community replaces another as a result of changing abiotic and biotic factors is ecological succession.
• There are two types of ecological succession—primary succession and secondary succession.

Primary Succession
• The establishment of a community in an area of exposed rock that does not have any topsoil is primary succession.

Secondary Succession
• The orderly and predictable change that takes place after a community of organisms has been removed but the soil has remained intact is secondary succession.

• Key Concepts:– Effects of Latitude and Climate p. 65–Major Land Biomes p. 66–Other Terrestrial Biomes p. 72
![Page 17: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Latitude
• The distance any point on the surface of the Earth north or south from the equator is latitude.
![Page 18: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Climate
• The average weather conditions in an area, including temperature and precipitation, describe the area’s climate.
• Remember, this is the type of clothes you would find in your closet for a season.
![Page 19: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Section 3: Aquatic Biomes
• Main Idea: Aquatic ecosystems are grouped based on abiotic factors such as water flow, depth, distance from shore, salinity and latitude.
• Key Concepts:– Freshwater ecosystems p. 74– Transitional ecosystems p. 78–Marine ecosystems p. 79
![Page 42: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Freshwater Ecosystems
![Page 43: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Rivers and Streams
• The water flows in one direction, beginning at a source called a headwater and travelling to the mouth, where the flowing water empties into a larger body of water.
• The faster the water, the lower the number of organisms.
![Page 44: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Fast-moving rivers and streams prevent much accumulation of organic materials and sediment.
![Page 45: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Lakes and Ponds
• The temperature of lakes and ponds varies depending on the season.
![Page 47: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
3 Zones of Lakes
• Littoral zone- area closest to shore
• Limnetic zone- open water, well lit
• Profundal zone- deepest area, coldest
![Page 48: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Transitional Aquatic Ecosystems
• Estuaries- where freshwater from a stream mixes with saltwater.
![Page 49: Science Warm-up 3/19/2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681635a550346895dd41ae6/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Intertidal Zone
• The narrow band where ocean and land meet.

Open Oceans
• Photic- with sunlight• Aphotic- without sunlight• Benthic zone: area on the bottom
of the ocean containing sand, silt, and dead organisms.
• Abyssal zone: deepest zone of ocean.
