The types of species in a community gradually change and are replaced through a process known as ecological succession.

<h3>Ecological succession </h3>

The process by which a region's species and habitat mix needs to evolve over time is called ecological succession. These communities gradually replace one another until a "climax community" is reached, such as a mature forest, or until a disturbance, such as a fire, happens. A key idea in ecology seems to be ecological succession.

On the island, ecological succession has produced topsoil that can support ecosystems. As shrub/grassland areas change into forested areas during ecological succession, there are different types of habitat fragmentation.

Answer:

he options are not given. The options are;

A. 1 B. 3 C. 4 D. 6

The answer is 4 which is option C.

Explanation:

Protein recommendations is the amount of daily required dietary proteins for a person base in its weight.

Christie's Doctor recommend 40grams of dietary protein and she has already consumed 50% of it. This meant that she has consumed about 20 grams of the required dietary protein and she needed additional protein source to complete her daily requirements. Therefore, Christie needs additional four servings of snacks to meet her daily protein recommendations.

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the question read;

Words in the left column:

Yes
No
Observational
Manipulative

1. A physiologist incubates eggs in the lab at a range of temperatures to see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females.

2. A biologist predicts that shade might influence ground temperature, and therefore turtle sex ratios. He records the sex ratio of turtle hatchlings in shaded and unshaded regions

3. An ecologist predicts turtles grow larger when no predators are around. She places turtles in an experimental pond system where half the ponds have predators and half the ponds have had the predators removed.

4. A climatologist predicts that concentration of CO2 in a city will be negatively correlated with the amount of wind in that city. He collects data and looks at the amount of CO2 in a city as a function of the wind speed in the city.

5. A sociologist conducts a survey in Hawaii to describe people's attitudes about global climate change.

6. A scientist determines the average wind speed, and variation in the amount of wind, in a number of locations to see which locations would be most suitable for wind turbines

Answer/Explanation:

1. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

We can make this conclusion here that the physiologists' research is hypothesis-driven since we are told he wanted to "see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females." In other words, he wanted to know whether the temperature used in incubators can influence the sex of an egg by means of observation.

2. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observation.

3. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Manipulative.

We can make the conclusion that is the ecologist used the manipulative method in her research since she decided to place the turtles in two different types of ponds; one where half the ponds have predators while in the other the pond the predators have been removed. In other words, she manipulated the independent variables.

4. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

Note, the use of the word, "predicts" in most instances underscores the tone of hypothesis-driven research, hence we can say Yes! And remember, we are told the researcher "collects data", meaning he is merely observing differences that occur naturally.

5. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

6. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.
