Aquatic Ecosystems Review
Water ecosystems *There are two main water or aquatic ecosystems *One is Freshwater (Ponds & Lakes) *One is Saltwater (Oceans) KEY WORDS: AQUATIC = WATER ECOSYSTEM Saltwater Ecosystem *As you go down the Temp. gets colder *At the bottom there is no sunlight *High salt concentration *One main type is the ocean *Also known as Marine ecosystems *Contains A Large amount of life KEY WORDS: Salt Water = Marine
Freshwater Ecosystem *Low salt concentration *Two types is a lake and pond *Also known as inland ecosystems *Contains a variety of life KEY WORDS: FRESHWATER = INLAND Wetland *Link between land and water *Extremely productive and diverse *Swamps, Marshes, & Bogs are Examples *Depending on the type may be filled with trees, grasses, shrubs, or moss *Must be filled with water at least part of the year KEY WORDS: WETLAND = SWAMPS & MARSHES
Swamp *Can be both fresh and saltwater *Low land that is seasonally flooded *Has more trees than grasses *Soil is poor *Saltwater swamps have fewer plants *Extremely diverse KEY WORDS: SWAMP = TREES Marsh *Can be both fresh and saltwater *Low-lying area near rivers and along seacoasts *Mostly grasses *Soil is rich with minerals *Extremely diverse KEY WORDS: MARSH = GRASSES
Estuary *Mostly associated with the Ocean *Saltwater makes it hard for animals and plants to live *River provides freshwater *Most similar to Salt marshes *Area where the mouth of a river meets the ocean *Have unique plant and animal communities *Mixture of Freshwater and Saltwater *Most productive & Nutrient-rich ecosystem in the WORLD KEY WORDS: ESTUARY = FRESHWATER & SALTWATER
Terrestrial Ecosystems Review
Terrestrial Ecosystems *Terrestrial are land ecosystems KEY WORDS: TERRESTRIAL = LAND Taiga *Taiga is a cool forest biome *Located in the Northern Hemisphere *Mostly conifer/evergreen trees *Conifer/Evergreen trees are trees with needles *Cold winters and cool summers *Soil is mineral-poor KEY WORDS: TAIGA = COOL & CONIFER/EVERGREEN TREES
The Rainforest *Hot, humid, & lots of rainfall *Supports a variety of life *Near the equator *Climate is hot year round & Lots of Rain *Greatest diversity and more species anywhere *Majority of life is in the canopy *Little sunlight reaches ground *Decomposers extremely active KEY WORDS: RAINFOREST = DIVERSE, WARM & RAINY Deciduous/Temperate Forest *Many trees that lose their leaves *Has 4 Seasons *Every autumn leaves fall & change colors *Found in NC and Eastern US *Mild to warm summers & Cold winters *Soil is nutrient-rich *Variety of plant and animals KEY WORDS: DECIDUOUS/TEMPERATE = LEAVES FALL TO GROUND
*Sandy or rocky *Little precipitation *Very hot days & cool nights *Little to no rain *Soil is poor but rich with minerals *Very few plants & Animals Desert KEY WORDS: DESERT = SANDY/ROCKY & HOT *Large treeless plain *Found in the arctic areas *Ground is frozen all year *Winters are long & cold *Summers short and cool *Soil is poor covered with permafrost *Covered with grasses & small shrubs Tundra KEY WORDS: TUNDRA = COLD & TREELESS DESERT
*Grass is the main plant life *Also known as the plains *2 Types: Prairie & Savannah Grassland KEY WORDS: GRASSLAND/PLAIN = TEMPERATE & GRASS Savannah *Found in Africa *Stays warm year round *30-60 in of rain *Good Soil KEY WORDS: SAVANNAH = AFRICA Prairie *Found in the United States *Temperate/Mild Climate *20 in of rain *Mineral-rich soil *Also known as the Bread basket KEY WORDS: PRAIRIE = AMERICA
