Significant Ideas:
Climate determines the type of biome in a given area, although individual ecosystems may vary due to many local abiotic and biotic factors.
Succession lead to climax communities that may vary due to random events and interactions over time. This leads to a pattern of alternative stable states for a given ecosystem.
Ecosystem stability, succession, and biodiversity are intrinsically linked.
Applications & Skills:
Explain the distributions, structure, biodiversity, and relative productivity of contrasting biomes.
Analyze data for a range of biomes.
Discuss the impact of climate change on biomes.
Describe the process of succession in a given example.
Explain the general patterns of change in communities undergoing succession.
Discuss the factors which could lead to alternative stable states in an ecosystem.
Discuss the link between ecosystem stability, succession, diversity, and human activity.
Distinguish the roles of r- and K- selected species in zonation.
Interpret modes or graphs related to succession and zonation.
