Describe the San Francisco Estuary Project.
How has population growth in the San Francisco Bay Area affected the estuary?
How has the habitat fracture in the San Francisco Estuary been increased by human behavior?
How is the project focusing on maintaining the biodiversity of plants and animals in the San Francisco Estuary?
What is the relationship between an increase in fossil fuel consumption and increased carbon in terrestrial plants? How might this change flora populations? What impact could twenty years at this level of consumption have on flora?
What is the relationship between an increase in total carbon concentration (the smokestack) and increased carbon in the ocean surface? How might this change marine life populations? What impact could fifty years at this level of emissions have on marine fauna? On marine flora?
In addition to circulating through the carbon cycle, where else might excess carbon be found? In fifty years, where would you be most likely to see excess carbon?
Which areas are most highly (and quickly) affected by an increase in carbon emissions (and increase in fossil fuel consumption)? How would these effects manifest themselves? What are the dangers/benefits to these areas?
What is the primary difference between primary and secondary succession?
What pioneer plant is most likely growing on this rock?
What happens to the rock as the plant continues to grow?
