Document Summary
Scientists study how landscape structure affects the abundance, For a landscape ecologist, a landscape is made of a spatial array of. Patches are spread spatially over a landscape in a mosaic. Remote sensing technologies are technologies that collect information. Nutrients and others materials move from one poll (reservoir), to (cid:1) another, remaining for varying amount of time (residence time) in each reservoir. (cid:1) volume) The movement of materials among reservoirs is called a flux (mass or. Nutrients move through ecosystems in nutrient cycles or. They are called biogeochemical because the processes involved are. In these cycles, materials travel through the atmosphere, The time it would take for all the atoms of a particular material to be. Autotrophs use some of the carbohydrates to fuel their own. Sedimentary rock comprises the largest single reservoir in the carbon. The carbon cycle describes the routes that carbon atoms take through. Reservoirs that release more nutrients than they accept are called.
