Document Summary

Ecological niche modeling (16) these plants don"t grown in north america, but have been introduced. So you look at the niche ( precipitation + other physical conditions) in its native continent and see where these corresponding conditions will be in north america. this reasoning is used to explain plant distribution with respect to climate change. organisms need to maintain homeostasis its important that bodies remain within the temperature range. (22) siberian tiger. Broad ranges that can adjust to various climates, can live in steaming rainforests and brutal winters (23) Coyote is actively expanding its range, has to moved to alaska. (more abundant) Well in deserts, forests, and in snow [ very dynamic and successful] 25- if the surface is moist, there ill be evaporation of water, provides for strong cooling effect [ convection] As objects get larger, they will tend to equilibrate slowly. The bigger the body is the more interia it takes.
