• biogeography

• biodiversity

• resilience

• resistance

Tags

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-2

NGSS.MS-LS2-4

the number of different types of species in an ecosystem

• richness

• evenness

• hot spot

• biodiversity

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

the abundance of each species in an area is called

• richness

• evenness

• biodiversity

• random distribution

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

a species that exist in one area and nowhere else in the world is called

• hot spot species

• epistatic species

• endemic species

• predation species

two types of ecological disturbance are

• animals and plants

• abiotic and biotic

• natural and human-caused

• weather and climate

the stability of an ecosystem depends on 2 factors

• natural and human-caused disturbances

• weather and climate

• ecosystem resilience and resistance

• independent and dependent variables
