Document Summary

Study everything major concepts not asked on midterm. Short answer questions- address all parts of the question. Know from tutorials: diff bw seaweed and flowering plants, know 3 types of seaweed (red/green/brown, plate tectonics. Upwelling with respect to pycnocline: know gyres + air masses+ coriolis, wind waves/tsunamis/ deep water waves calculations of that nature- ocean conveyor belt, Ekman transport: chlorophyl a levels- primary production/upwelling/downwelling and relations /// coastal and open ocean upwelling, change in dark/light bottles relating to primary productivity ,. Know diff bw compensation and critical depth: hypoxia (1. 4ml/l or lower), plankton blooms via eutrophication no oxygen, different types of plankton and what comprises this group (parasitic) calculation, finding host- olfactory cue. Can estimate what nutrients will be limiting. Using the ratio, if you have 42,400mg/cubic meter of c, 2,400 mg/cubic meter n, 300mg/cubic (cid:373)eter p divide ea(cid:272)h (cid:271)y ratio ((cid:1008)(cid:1006)(cid:1008)(cid:1004)(cid:1004)/(cid:1005)(cid:1004)6, (cid:1006)(cid:1008)(cid:1004)(cid:1004)/(cid:1005)6, (cid:1007)(cid:1004)(cid:1004)/(cid:1005), -- smallest number will be nutrient that is limiting)
