  2. Any abiotic factor or biotic factor that restricts the numbers, reproduction, or distribution of organisms

  3. Limiting Factor

  4. The orderly and predictable change that takes place after a community of organisms has been removed but the soil has remained intact

  5. Secondary Succession

  6. The stable, mature community that results when there is little change in the number of species

  7. Climax Community

  8. The ability of any organism to survive when subjected to abiotic factors or biotic factors

  9. Tolerance

  10. The establishment of a community in an area of exposed rock that does not have any topsoil

  11. Primary Succession

  12. The distance of any point on the surface of Earth north or south from the equator

  13. Latitude

  14. The average weather conditions in an area, including temperature and precipitation

  15. Climate

  16. Average Precipitation: 25-43 cm/yr; Temperature range: 10oC – 40oC; Geographic location: surrounds the Mediterranean Sea, western coast of North and South America, South Africa, and Australia; Abiotic Factors: summers very hot and dry, winters are cool and wet

  17. Temperate Woodland and Shrubland

  18. Average Precipitation: 15-26 cm/yr; Temperature range:high 20oC – 49oC, low: 2oC – 26oC ; Geographic location: every continent except Europe; Abiotic Factors: varying temperatures, low rainfall

  19. Desert

  20. Average Precipitation: 38-51 cm/yr; Temperature range: -68oC – 32oC; Geographic location: Northern part of North America, Europe, and Asia; Abiotic Factors: summers are short and moist, winters are long, cold, and dry

  21. Boreal Forest

  22. Average Precipitation: 75-150 cm/yr; Temperature range: -30oC – 30oC; Geographic location: South of the boreal forests in eastern North America, eastern Asia, and Europe; Abiotic Factors: well-defined seasons, summers are hot, winters are cold

  23. Temperate Forest

  24. Average Precipitation: 50-89 cm/yr; Temperature range: -40oC – 38oC; Geographic location: North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia; Abiotic Factors: summers are hot, winters are cold, moderate rainfall, fires possible

  25. Temperate Grassland

  26. Average Precipitation: 50-150 cm/yr; Temperature range: 24oC – 49oC; Geographic location: Africa, South America, and Australia; Abiotic Factors: summers are hot and rainy, winters are cool and dry

  27. Tropical Savanna

  28. Average Precipitation: 125-660 cm/yr; Temperature range: 20oC – 34oC; Geographic location: Central and South America, southeastern Asia, western Africa, and northeastern Australia; Abiotic Factors: humid all year, hot and wet

  29. Tropical Rainforest

  30. Average Precipitation: 130-180 cm/yr; Temperature range: 20oC – 25oC; Geographic location: Africa, Asia, Australia, and Central America; Abiotic Factors: rainfall is seasonal

  31. Tropical Seasonal Forest

  32. The area closest to the shore in a lake with many different types of organisms

  33. Littoral Zone

  34. The deepest areas of a large lake which is much colder and lower in oxygen than the other two zones

  35. Profundal Zone

  36. An ecosystem that is formed where a freshwater river or stream merges with the ocean

  37. Estuary

  38. The area along the ocean floor that consists of sand, silt, and dead organisms

  39. Benthic Zone

  40. The deepest region of the ocean with very cold water

  41. Abyssal Zone
