BIOLOGY 171 Lecture Notes - Lecture 25: Ocean Acidification, Chikungunya, Phenology
Document Summary
Ecosystem ecology iii: global climate change and carbon cycling. Chapter 25, except 25. 3; also watch the carbon cycle animation on lpp. Chapter 48. 2 flux fossil fuel greenhouse gas greenhouse effect methane nitrous oxide (n2o) ocean acidification phenology pool reservoir weather. Vocabulary (you should be able to define and use all of these terms correctly. ) Aedes mosquito assisted migration biogeochemical cycle biosphere climate carbon dioxide chikungunya coral bleaching decomposition detritus dispersal. Read all of chapter 25, except for section 25. 3 ( the carbon cycle, ecology, and evolution ). Note that pool and reservoir mean the same thing. Chapter 25. 1 deals primarily with the short-term carbon cycle. Short-term for the carbon cycle means on the scale of years to decades. As you read, think about how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere might change over the course of a year, and what natural processes might be driving that change.
