Can a species diversity increase or decrease after a fire on a grassland

Species diversity refers to the number of different species in a community or ecosystem. So for example if you have an ecosystem and there are all different areas of that system like water, trees, and ground levels. obviously monkeys do not live in the water so, if you were to affect the water it would more than likely not affect the monkeys directly even though that water IS part of their ecosystem, but it will affect the other animals, living in that water. so if you were to take out a species in that water you are taking away a part of that ecosystem that makes it diverse. To answer your question, yes the species diversity can decrease after a fire on a grassland.

The species diversity would decrease after a fire on a grassland. Every organism has a particular genotype. Typically, as the population increases, so does a population's and species's  diversity because of the greater diversity of the allele frequency. In events such as fires, you are removing organisms from the population which causes a less diverse allele frequency.

Pathogens include all but which one of the following? disease-causing bacteria, helpful bacteria found in the gut, viruses, micr
enyata [817]

Helpful bacteria found in the gut are <u>not pathogens</u>.

Explanation:

An organism is said to be pathogenic if it can invade, grow and multiply in an individual host’s body and cause disease in the susceptible host’s body by evading the immune system of the host.

Viruses belong to obligate pathogen because they require the cellular machinery of the host’s body to grow and replicate and thereby will cause disease in the host.  

Disease-causing bacteria are pathogenic like Salmonella, C. difficile, etc.  

Helpful bacteria of the gut also called the human gastroinstestinal or gut microbiota, or the gut flora are those bacteria living in the digestive system of the body and improve the gut health. Gut bacteria like Lactobacillus generally help by:

  1. Forms a central line of resistance or barrier and prevents exogenous bacterial colonization and protects the intestinal mucosa from other pathogens
  2. Help in fermentation of undigested or nondigestible food or carbohydrates like large polysaccharides of cellulose, pectin etc.
  3. Gut bacteria belonging to the commensal bacteria help by digesting the available unused nutrients in the body  
  4. Gut bacteria help in the synthesis of certain vitamins
