GEOG 2500 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Fleur-De-Lis, Peregrine Falcon, Shade Tolerance
Document Summary
The peregrine falcon is quite in a range across north america, and you can see it in the high arctic. You can also see falco peregrinus in the desert. However, most species are quite limited in distribution. Gr describes the limits that contain the area graphically, ie boundaries. A plant environment is different from an animal environment. From a time that a plant is a seed to a seedling, to a sapling(young plant) to an adult plant, the environment is what happens around the plant during all those times. It does not move in space, as most animals do. *factors that are part of the plant environment: physical factors 1) climate. In the arctic any plant growing there has high winds. Ie as we move north, we experience declining levels of sunlight. If ur moving up a hill, we experience more wind and more exposure to wind. We need to know this to explain plant distribution.
