Impact of Environmental Change Flashcards

All 6 cards in this deck

Name three environmental changes that affect the distribution of species in an ecosystem.: Temperature, availability of water, and the composition of atmospheric gases.
Environmental changes that affect distribution may be of which three kinds?: Seasonal, geographic, or caused by human interaction.
What is meant by the distribution of a species?: Where the species is found within an ecosystem or area.
Why might a species be found in a habitat during only part of the year?: Seasonal changes, such as temperature or food availability, cause it to migrate to or from the area.
True or false? Environmental change always reduces the distribution of a species.: False. A change can also increase a species' distribution or allow it to spread into new areas.
True or false? A change in the composition of atmospheric gases can change where a species is found.: True. Species differ in their sensitivity to gases such as carbon dioxide, oxygen and sulfur dioxide.
