describe tolerance limits?
refer to notes
a critical factor is?
A factor of an environment that determines abundance and distribution
Give an example of an indicator species
a species that acts as early warnings of environmental change (coral and moss)
generalist species
wide range of tolerance
specialist species
limited range of tolerance
climax community
community that develops and resists further change
intermediate disturbance hypothesis
Species diversity is highest when disturbance is neither too frequent or too rare
