BIO-8 Lecture Notes - Lecture 29: Limiting Factor, Ecological Niche, Advection
Document Summary
Factors that can influence ecological characteristics: history, evolution, barriers to dispersal, marsupials and the wallace line, evolutionary changes over short time scales, pepper moth: common and melanic form. London industrial pollution: physiological tolerance, niche: the totality of environmental conditions that a species can tolerate, rapid environmental changes can challenge species" tolerances and cause mortality. When grown together in both soil types, the one found in acidic soils outgrew the other species eventually and incompletely. Greatest at the top of the atmosphere at latitude 0 (equator) Larger angle of incidence as you move north or south. Advection of heat (transfer of heat in a fluid) Winds travelling inland from the coast lose huge amounts of moisture and. Climate diagrams become much drier: consistently high precipitation and temperatures, lack of seasonality, high precipitation and high temperatures allow for high biomass vegetation, this represents a tropical rainforest, limiting resource would be uv radiation.
