All the interacting organisms living in

an area

occurs on a surface where an

ecosystem previously

existed

One individual captures, kills, and consumes another

individual

Gain or loss of money or jobs

Part of the water cycle that brings

water back to Earth

Cold temperatures,

little precipiation, moss, caribou

The living components of

the environment

First organisms to colonize a newly available area

A harmless species resembles a poisonous or

distasteful species

Accumulation and use of knowledge

Only organisms that can use nitrogen gas

directly from the atmosphere

Moderate temperatures,

little precipitation, tall grasses, grazing

animals

Ability to adjust tolerance to abiotic

factors

Succession that occurs on surfaces

where no ecosystem existed

before

Results from niche overlap—the use of

the same limited resource by two or

more species

What is beautiful or pleasing

Process in which organisms

incorporate CO2 from the air into

organic compounds

4 seasons, moderate

precipitation, maple, deer

An organism’s way of life

Mutualism that is involved in breaking down rock into soil

A cooperative relationship in which both species benefit

What is right or wrong

Two ways carbon is returned to the

atmosphere

Warm temperatures,

abundant rain, tall grasses, cheetahs

Species with very broad niches

Community that eventually forms if

the land is left undisturbed

An interaction in which one species benefits and the

other is not affected

Maintaining human communities and respecting their

values

Most common form of nitrogen in the

atmosphere

Cool temperatures,

moderate precipitation, evergreens,

moose
