BIOL 150 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Ecosystem Ecology, Sexual Reproduction, Population Ecology
Document Summary
Fire common in western n. a. , areas with strong seasonal climates (long dry summers) Some fungi fruit only after fire on burned ground or debris - "pyrophilous fungi" Produce cups and mushrooms (sexually reproductive) in spring. Burn fungi are present in the system but dormant in "spore banks" Burn fungi are present in the system inside plants ad endophytes. Spores tend to germinate easily on standard agar plates. Most fungi sampled from burned areas match fungi isolated from plants or lichens. How multiple species interact and consequences of interactions. How a species interacts with its physical surroundings and other species. How number and distribution of individuals of a population change over. How number and distribution of individuals of a population change over time. How nutrients and energy move among organisms and through atmosphere, soil, or water. How humans impact the biosphere (sum of all terrestrial and aquatic systems)
