      • no. diff. species in area
      • no. of diff. habitats in area
      • natural eco. higher B

      • history
        • greek scientists  mass from min. in soil
          • van helmont mass gained from water
            • Priestley plant relit candle and kept animal alive longer - O2
      • O2 comes from water
        • O-18 in water
          • O-16 in CO2
            • O-18 released
      • 3 limiting factors
        • not enough light
        • too little CO2
        • temp. has to be just right (45)
      • pigments abosorb diff. wavelengths of light
        • chlorophyll a
        • chlorophyll b
        • carotene
        • xanthophyll
      • day time
        • photo+resp- release o2 take co2
      • night time
        • resp. release co2 take o2
    • estimating pop. size
      • quadrat
      • capture re-capture
        • no. 1st sample x no. 2nd sample/ no. 2nd sample marked
          • assumptions
            • no changes in pop. size
            • sampling methods identical
            • marking hasnt affect survival
    • diffusion
      • net movement particles high concen. to low concen.
        • perfume
      • rate
