Chapter 3: Ecosystem Ecology
Gross Primary Productivity
Net Primary Productivity
Biomass
Runoff
The water is RUNNING OFF into the ocean
When water moves in streams and rivers eventually ending up in oceans
I remember what biomass is by breaking the world down
Bio= ecosystem energy
Mass= weight
Biomass is the energy in ecosystem bring measured
Amount of living material
What's left after GPP happens
With heat 90% of energy is lost
The amount of energy producers get from the sun during photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + Water + Sun + Glucose
Ecotone
Standing Crop
Biosphere
All ecosystems on Earth where life exists
Nitrogen cycle
Hydrologic Cycle
Carbon cycle
Sulfur cycle
Watershed
Area that separates water going into different paths
Important for plants that function on proteins and enzymes and animals that plants that depend on those plants
Most sulfur deep in the ocean rocks and salt
Cellular respiration
Photosynthesis
Decomposition
Combustion
Decomposition
Fossilization/Fossil Fuels
Water cycle
Evaporation- liquid to gas
Condensation- gas to liquid
Precipitation- rain/snow/hail
Runoff- water from rivers/lakes eventually leads to ocean
Infiltration- water that enters soil
Transpiration- water evaporating from leaves into the atmosphere
Nitrogen Fixation = ammonia
Nitrification = Nitrates
Assimilation = Proteins
Ammonification = Ammonia
Denitrification = Nitrogen
Used to make proteins and DNA/RNA
It can be different at different times in the year
Biomass in a single area at a certain time
Area where two biomes meet
It is an ecosystem boundary
Law of Thermodynamics
Cellular respiration
Ecological efficiency
Phosphorus Cycle
Major part of DNA/RNA and is used by cells to transfer energy
Energy consumed passed from one tropic level to another
When one organism gets energy from another organism by breaking down organic compounds
1st law energy cannot be created or destroyed , only transferred or transformed
2nd law states that not all energy is transferred when one organism eats another organism
