Abiotic: Non-living
Acclimation: A reversible physical change in an adapting organism in response to environmental pressures
Actinomycetes: Formerly classified as fungi because of their filaments, include many types of soil bacteria
Bergmann: ____’s rule states that warm-blooded animals in cold climates tend to be larger than animals of the same species living in warm climates
Biennial: Plants that live two growing seasons and fruit during the second
Candle: New shoots on needled evergreens
Calving: Breaking off of sheaths of ice from icebergs
Capillary: This action moves water through tiny channels, often against the force of gravity
Cation: An ion carrying a positive atomic charge. Key feature of many soil nutrients
Cetaceans: The order that includes dolphins and whales
Chlorofluorocarbons: CFCs. Cause holes in the ozone.
Cleptobiosis: When one species steals food from another
Deflation: The removal of soil by wind erosion in hollows and depressions
Dendrochronology: Dating a tree by counting its rings
Diurnal: Active by day
Ecology: The study of interrelationships between organisms and their environment
Ecotype: A genetically differentiated subpopulation evolved to remain within its habitat
Facultative: Able to live in more than one kind of environment, ie with or without air
Flocculation: The accumulation of particles into small masses that fall out of liquid suspension and usually settle on the bottom
Gelifluction: The movement of soil over permafrost
Habitat: The abode of a species
Herbivores: Organisms that eat plants
Marble: Metamorphic rock made of recrystallized calcite or dolomite. Often used for countertops
