Woodland Ecosystem Ecology Quiz

Map of the ecosystem = Making a sketch map of the ecosystem, marking the area with four pegs and pacing it out Identifying plants and animals = Determining the diversity of life forms in the ecosystem by making a consolidated species list Estimating the number of plants and animals = Using direct observation to search the ecosystem for different species Measuring the environmental (abiotic) factors = Measuring the environmental factors of the ecosystem

Pictorial key = A book with drawings of each species, where one searches through the book until the species they are looking for is found Dichotomous key = Involves a series of questions with two possible answers, directing to the next question based on the chosen answer Rocky shore = An example of an ecosystem that can be studied Grassland = An example of an ecosystem that can be studied
