Content
- What are
the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem?
- Under what
conditions will photosynthesis be highest? Why?
- What are
the geographic patterns to net primary productivity? What factors help
determine this pattern?
- Where is
NPP highest and where is it lowest? What kinds of conditions exist in
these locations?
- How does
the geographic pattern to net primary productivity change on a seasonal
basis? Why?
- What are
the key factors that limit net primary productivity? Where does each of
these factors dominate?
- Why does
the amount of available energy decrease as trophic level increases?
- How might
extinction or introduced species affect a food web?
