growth ring
Biology; Bioclimatology
A layer of wood that forms in a plant during one period of growth. They can be seen when a tree is cut crosswise.
loam
Biology; Bioclimatology
Soil that is made up of sand, clay, and silt. Loam contains dead plant material that has been broken down into simpler chemical compounds.
nitrogen fixation
Biology; Bioclimatology
The Process that allows nitrogen in the air to become absorbed by plants. Bacteria in the soil take up the nitrogen gas and use it to make compounds.
nitrogen cycle
Biology; Bioclimatology
The process that allows nitrogen to move from the environment into living things and then go back into the environment.
ozone
Biology; Bioclimatology
A poisonous form of oxygen that is produced naturally in the atmosphere by sunlight or lightning.
photosynthesis
Biology; Bioclimatology
The process that allows green plants and some algae and bacteria to make sugars from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight.
