Document Summary
Question: true or false: the biggest determinant for the distribution of all biomes on earth is climate. 2. identify the major pools and fluxes of carbon and describe the global carbon cycle (figure 25. 6 in old version of book, 46. 8 in newest version). 3. identify the major carbon inputs and outputs of atmospheric carbon. Explain why atmospheric carbon shows an annual cycle and identify the cause of that cycle. 4. explain what has happened to atmospheric carbon over the past 200+ years. Identify the cause of this pattern, and describe the evidence that has led us to identify this cause. 5. describe the other biogeochemical cycles covered in lecture (hydrological, nitrogen, phosphorous), including major pools and fluxes. Explain how different nutrients enter and leave biological communities. 6. describe the different plants form mutualisms covered in lecture. Identify the benefits each species obtains from these interactions, as well as the costs (i. e. what each species gives to its mutualist).
