Document Summary
Chapter 52 an introduction to ecology and the biosphere. Concept 52. 1 -- (ecology integrates all areas of biological research and informs environmental decision making. ) Understand the concepts in this section that we covered in the power point slides and in class. Figure 52. 2 know the levels of ecological organization from organismal to global ecology. Concept 52. 2 (interactions between organisms and the environment limit the distribution of species). We did look at the enquiry on page1153. Concept 52. 3 (aquatic biomes are diverse and dynamic systems that cover most of. You should have some familiarity with the 8 aquatic biomes. You should know which factors (e. g. salinity, depth, temperature) help to distinguish between biomes. All you need to know about zonation: photic zone, benthic zone, pelagic zone, intertidal zone (these are important for later chapters or for defining biomes). Concept 52. 4 (the structure and distribution of terrestrial biomes are controlled by climate and disturbance).
