As biodiversity increases
what happenes to the
function of an
ecosystem
What is the function of an
ecosystem increases?
The measure of the
genetic variability of
species and ecosystems.
What is biodiversity?
The role of a natural
resources management
What is to maximize
biodiversity and
minimize species loss?
Formula for calculating
biodiversity
What is
#Species/#Individuals?
List the three levels of
diversity
What is genetic, species,
and ecosystem
diversity?
Variations among
individuals of a species
What is genetic diversity?
All the species that exist
in a specific area
What is species diversity?
Measure of the variety of
ecosystems on the
planet
What is Ecosystem
diversity?
Determine the
biodiversity score
What is .0002?
Number of major
services ecosystems
provide
What is 4?
This service involves the
capture and utilization
of sunlight at all trophic
levels.
What is Energy Flow?
This service involves the
conversion of inorganic
carbon to organic
carbon and inorganic
nitrogen into organic
nitrogen
What is nutrient cycling?
This service involves the
purification of water
and air
What is filtration and
removal of waste and
pollutants?
This service involves
pollinations and
species vigor or
“weeding out the sick
and lame”
What is reproduction and
genetic diversity?
Living species that spread
rapidly and cause harm
to other species by
preventing them from
being able to obtain
nutrition and reproduce
What are invasive species?
Estimated amount
of money that
invasive species
cause the USA
each year
What is $138 billion?
Term given to invasive
species because they
can occupy a broad
range of habitats, and
create food in many
ways

plants with the
potential to cause
significant damage to
native ecosystems
and/or cause significant
economic losses.

species
What is transportation
and habitat
disturbances?
This type of habitat
disturbance include
fires, floods, tornadoes,
volcanoes
What is natural
disturbances?
The biological invasion
curve shows that what
is the cheapest and
most effective strategy
for controlling invasive
species
What is that prevention?
This type of habitat
disturbance includes
the building of roads
and tilling of land for
agriculture use
What are manmade
habitat disturbances?
Awareness of an invasive
species comes only
after….what?
What is only after
eradication is
