The thinning of ice definitely affects the water cycle, particularly the condensation process. This is where liquid molecules that have turn into gas will collide within the atmosphere causing it to turn into liquid molecules again which results to precipitation. The more ice melting, more precipitation may occur and it may cause several natural disasters that can be destructive.

Algal bloom is definitely good for the Arctic as these algae provide nutrition for several smaller species that dwell at the closed to the surface of the ice, like shrimps and krills.

According to the concept of resource partitioning, which attribute of a community would tend to lead to lower species richness i

melomori [17]

<h2>Species richness </h2>

Explanation:

Resource partitioning is a type of strategy of coexistence among species which allow species to use natural resources in different ways and it may be temporal or spatial

There are two attributes of a community which will tend to lead to lower species richness in a community:

1) Most species are generalists, utilizing a broad spectrum of resources : Species that can live in many different types of environments, and have a varied diet are considered generalists

2) Most species are specialists, utilizing a narrow spectrum of resources: Specialists are those species that require very unique resources, these type of species have a very limited diet or need a specific habitat condition to survive

1 Both types of succession require the same amount of time to occur.

2 Both types of succession result in greater biodiversity over time.

3 Both types of succession decrease the stability of an ecosystem.

4 Both types of succession have the same starting conditions.

5 Both types of succession eventually lead to a community closer to equilibrium.
