• biogeography

• biodiversity

• resilience

• resistance

Tags

• Endangered Species

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

Having a balanced amount of different species in a given ecosystem.

• 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.

• Pandemic species

• Epistatic species

• Endemic species

• Predator 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
