8 0

Answer: temperature variations, human activity, leaching of the soil

Explanation:

Desertification is a kind of land degradation process which is seen in drylands. In this process the temperature or weather condition of a region is severely affected this is associated with low annual rainfall, the soil looses moisture and is subjected to wind erosion. Human activity also contributes to the desertification due to clear cutting of the land and clearing up of the vegetation as a result of this the soil looses it's productivity due to erosion. Leaching is a process of loss of water soluble minerals from the soil which will also cause desertification.

Trichodesmium is a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. Why might this cyanobacteria be important to other organisms in nitrogen-poor
eimsori [14]
Cyanobacteria don't need oxygen to survive they produce oxygen. They where the first ever known organisms on the planet and they produced oxygen in the oceans which was absorbed by iron deposits and then once the iron had oxygen the ocean got the oxygen until it got into the atmosphere and Eukaryota bacteria evolved. So the answer would be: <span>They convert nitrates from the water into nitrogen gas (N2) that is released into the atmosphere.</span>

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. Can someone help me wit des three questions?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

1. every organism on the food chain will be affected. the ones below it will have a higher population, and the ones above it will have a lower population.

2. biodiversity is the idea, that all life is different, and environments thrive with it.

3. biodiversity is important in an ecosystem because if you take out biodiversity, you essentially take out all the animals in the given ecosystem.

Explanation:

1. when you remove lets say a spider from a food chain, the bugs that it would've eaten will start growing in population from not being eaten by the spiders. the birds that wouldve eaten the spiders, will decrease from the lack of that food source.

2. is self explanatory

3. if you only had one type of bird in one ecosystem, and that was the only animal in that ecosystem, the birds would all die, because they wouldn't have anything to eat, and nothing would eat it, so they might resort to cannibalism, or, as earlier stated, they would die off, from lack of food. the ecosystem would not be sustainable.
