Column B
Column B
a.Population curve showing slow, then rapid growth with a leveling out of population size
b.Series of ecological events occurring in an area starting with bare rock and no life
c.A measure of number of and variety of organisms in an area
d.Something that gets used up by use and cannot be quickly replenished
e.A measure of living organisms and all biotic material in an area
f.Usually biotic, conditions that slow population growth and are a reflection of population size
g.Population curve showing slow, then continuous rapid growth
h.Heterotroph that eats/can eat primary consumers
i.
Located in the stratosphere, it acts as sunscreen for the planet by preventing much of UV radiation from the Sun to reach the Earth.
j.Series of ecological events following a serious and damaging event in an area, but leaves soil
k.Often herbivores, they eat producers.
l.A measured limit on a population's growth based on resources, limiting factors and biotic potential
