Answer;

A. Devastation by the pine bark beetle

Explanation;

If the presence or absence of a factor limits the growth of the ecosystems elements, it is called a limiting factor.

There are several abiotic factors that limit ecosystem growth, including temperature, precipitation, sunlight, soil configuration, and soil nutrients.  Some limiting factors depend on the size of the population. Other limiting factors affect all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size.

Define the general difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we break down the word autotroph, auto means “self” and troph means "feeding" or nourishment. However, when we break the word heterotroph, we get hetero- meaning other, and troph meaning feeders.

This is the critical difference between these two groups. Autotrophs synthesize or make their own food whereas, heterotrophs cannot make their own food thus have to rely on others by eating or absorbing others. For example, plants are autotrophs because they can make their own food using photosynthesis, whereas, humans are heterotrophs because we have to eat others to survive.

Hope this helps.
