Exam review

The general classes (2) of ecosystem processes are:

_______ Theory, predicts species richness based on isolation and area

Atkinson and Marin-Spiotta show that land use legacy can have lasting effects on forest stand structure

Transdisciplinarity involves integrating knowledge/perspective from disciplines/stakeholders to address complex problems

Landscape Ecology emerged as a discipline for the following reasons except

Homogeneity is the quality of having dissimilar elements, as with mixed habitats or cover types occurring on a landscape

quantifying landscape patterns can be useful for comparative purposes (e.g., between study areas or landscapes).

Holling & Meffe 1996 described ____ as a problematic approach to natural resource management

________ refers to the time required for a system to return to an equilibrium or steady-state.

the scope or domain of the data is the

non-urban areas are characterized as having high impervious surface

Landscape ecology emphasizes the interaction between spatial patterns and ecological processes.

How many patches are there following the 8-neighbor rule?

Blair and Johnson 2008 and Groffman et al. 2014 provided case studies of ecological __________ in urban areas.

_______ fallacy refers to the error of extrapolating to broad scale based on (few) observations conducted at small scale

________ is any relatively discrete event in space and time that disrupts ecosystem/community/population structure

Fractal dimension is a landscape metric that quantifies

In metapopulations, sub-populations are linked by dispersal

statistical and biological relationships are scale-invariant

The minimum resolution of the data is the

________ are strips of habitat that connect otherwise isolated habitat patches

______ effects are ecological changes that occur at the boundary of habitats

Biotic interactions can produce landscape patterns

_______ ecology is the study of the flow of energy and materials through organisms and their environment 

Remote sensing refers to acquiring information about

In general, larger, more heterogeneous patches support fewer species

If these patches represented Levin's metapopulation model, which is the most likey to get colonized

As grain gets larger, spatial variance gets

____________ is the degree to which the landscape facilitates or impedes movement among habitat patches

The origin of disturbances are, by definition, exogenous
