The 117th Christmas Bird Count is now over. As usual in January, I will discuss the highlights of some of the Maine counts. These standardized censuses provide an important tool to monitor the abundance of winter birds throughout North America and beyond.
I’ll concentrate on changes in regularly wintering birds, the arrival of unpredictable invaders and records of lingering birds whose wintering areas are well to our south. A rarity or two may pop up as well.
We’ll start with the southern Maine coast. The York County count was held on Dec. 21. Thirty observers found 82 species of birds.
Answer:
algal growth due to eutrophication
Explaination:
Eutrophication is where these nutrient rich compounds mix with nearby water sources and promote the growth of large amounts of algae. Algae go through respiration and take up the dissolved O2 in water which causes these areas to experience low O2 levels. Everything needs O2 to survive thus nearby organisms and plants die out creating dead zones.
Answer:
<em>"Maturation refers to the child's increases in body size."</em>
Explanation:
The statement "Maturation refers to the child's increases in body size" does not tell anything about the state of the patient and it needs to give a clear explanation.
Growth can be described as the physical increase in size of a person.
Development can be described as the process by which children learn different skills as they grow up.
Maturity can be described as the growth in different body system which leads to the development of different skills in the children.
