APES Notes 2.5 - Natural Disruptions to Ecosystems

[@noornasser9133]

As latitude increases, the first leaf date happens earlier. This happens because as the climate becomes warmer, plants start sprouting leaves earlier, because there is no harsh winter stopping them from growing.

its getting further away from the equator though so isnt the climate getting colder

[@kyjchoi]

and maybe the leaves closer to the equator grows later even though it's closer to the equator because the heat is stunting their growth?? I'm probably wrong though. Anyone have an answer?

Thank you so much for these videos! I'm self studying ES right now and I've been scrounging around the internet for lessons and so happy I found this channel! Im wondering if I only learn off all the videos from this channel would it be enough for the Exam next May?

@@huellbabineaux4343 No Chat GPT here! All me haha. I probably do reuse that reply, though, since that's one of the most common questions I get in the comment section.

Let me know if this is a dumb question but when taiga conifers are no longer able to live in certain areas due to global warming and their range of survivability moves closer to the North pole, does this count as migration? If not, what's a better word to describe "migration of plants"

[@Mr.Smedes]

Hi Adita, not a dumb question at all! I think migration of a forest is a fair term to use. While individual trees don't uproot and walk north, the forest as a whole does "migrate" north as southern latitudes grow too warm for their growth.
