unit 2 study guide — principles of habitat conservation & management
directions: answer the questions based on your white unit 2 notes packet.
*the end of each question will tell you which lesson the answer came from in italics.

1. tourism and recreation are examples of which type of habitat services: provisional, cultural, regulating, or supporting? (2.1)
2. label the neritic zone, the oceanic zone, bathypelagic, epipelagic, and the mesopelagic subzones: (2.2)
3. what percentage (%) of fresh water is trapped in glaciers or underground? (2.2)
4. where are carnivorous plants most likely to be found? (2.2)

match the plant life with the habitat where is most likely to be found. write the letters on the lines. (2.2)
tundra
a. various species of grasses
taiga
b. large evergreen trees, vines, ferns, and mosses
deciduous forest
c. plants with shallow widespread roots and thick leaves
tropical rainforest
d. trees with color - changing leaves such as oak, maple, beech
grasslands
e. evergreen trees
desert
f. mosses and lichen

Explanation:

1. Tourism and recreation are cultural habitat - services as they provide non - material benefits like aesthetic and recreational experiences.
2. The neritic zone is the shallow water zone above the continental shelf. The oceanic zone is the open ocean. The epipelagic zone is the top layer (0 - 200m), mesopelagic is 200 - 1000m, and bathypelagic is 1000 - 4000m.
3. Approximately 68.7% of fresh water is trapped in glaciers and about 30.1% is underground.
4. Carnivorous plants are most likely to be found in wet, nutrient - poor environments like bogs and marshes.

For the matching:

• Tundra has mosses and lichen (f) due to cold and harsh conditions.
• Taiga has evergreen trees (e) as it is a coniferous forest.
• Deciduous Forest has trees with color - changing leaves such as oak, maple, beech (d).
• Tropical Rainforest has large evergreen trees, vines, ferns, and mosses (b).
• Grasslands have various species of grasses (a).
• Desert has plants with shallow widespread roots and thick leaves (c) to adapt to arid conditions.

Answer:

1. Cultural
2. Neritic zone: Shallow water above continental shelf; Oceanic zone: Open ocean; Epipelagic zone: 0 - 200m; Mesopelagic zone: 200 - 1000m; Bathypelagic zone: 1000 - 4000m
3. Approximately 68.7% in glaciers and 30.1% underground
4. Wet, nutrient - poor environments like bogs and marshes

Tundra: f
Taiga: e
Deciduous Forest: d
Tropical Rainforest: b
Grasslands: a
Desert: c
