Answer: C. The farmland is undergoing secondary succession, which may or may not restore the original climax community.
Explanation:
Ecological communities are highly <em>dynamic</em>- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:
- colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
- becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
- there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)
The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a <em>climax community. </em>While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.
Like the abandoned farmland near Horatio’s home, secondary communities do not begin with the removal of soil and all biological life; other species, seen here in the grassland, may be more suited to the altered conditions and begin to modify the area creating a new community.
However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.
A nucleic Acid is a long repeating chain of nucleotides
ANSWER:
(A) project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals.
EXPLANATION:
Option A (project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals) is most appropriate for a biocentric species egalitarian, because it provides equal rights and support for all forms of life without being baised on favoring sentient animals (animals who can feel and can be emotional).
NOTE: Species egalitarianism is the philosophic view that all living things have the same moral right and support and all forms of life have intrinsic value.
