Eutrophication (the overenrichment of aquatic ecosystems with nutrients leading to algal blooms and anoxic events) is a persistent condition of surface waters and a widespread environmental problem. Some lakes have recovered after sources of nutrients were reduced. In others, recycling of phosphorus from sediments enriched by years of high nutrient inputs causes lakes to remain Eutrophic even after external inputs of phosphorus are decreased. Slow flux of phosphorus from Overfertilized soils may be even more important for maintaining eutrophication of lakes in agricultural regions. This type of Eutrophication is not reversible unless there are substantial changes in soil management. Technologies for rapidly reducing phosphorus content of over-enriched soils, or reducing erosion rates, are needed to improve water quality.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Promoter 2

Explanation:

Promoter 2 is the best choice because the resistance gene will only be expressed in the leaves of the corn plant. Promoter 3 only expresses genes in the corn roots, so the toxin would not be available in the leaves for the pest to eat. Promoters 1 and 4 would express the resistance gene in the leaves of the corn plant, but the toxins would be expressed in the corn cobs as well, which may then be fed to livestock.

Is the Great Green Wall an example of Secondary Succession?

shusha [124]

Answer:

The Great Green Wall is taking root in Africa's Sahel region, at the southern edge of the Sahara desert. The Great Green Wall is a symbol of hope in the face of one of the biggest challenges of our time - desertification. This game changing African-led initiative aims to restore Africa's degraded landscapes and transform millions of lives in one of the world's poorest regions, the Sahel.

Primary succession occurs on land where no previous growth has taken place and there is no substrate/soil. Secondary succession occurs on land where there has been previous growth, the soil and seed bank makes up the substrate.
