The state also removed structures that had previously disrupted the water's natural flow. What will most likely happen if farming stops and water flows on this land again? A. Populations of native wetland plants will recolonize the land. B. Populations of native wetland animals will emigrate from the land. C. The community of organisms currently living there will remain the same. D. A new community of woodland organisms will develop through primary succession.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A population of native wetlands plants will recolonize the land because these plants posses the traits or characteristics that will make them to survive in the area and stoping of farming will give them space and opportunity to evolve and recolonize the area.

Answer 2

Answer: the correct option is A(Populations of native wetland plants will recolonize the land.)

Explanation:

Wet land plants are those types of plants that usually grows in wetlands as the name implies. They are also called hydrophytes, macrophytes, and aquatic plants. It can either grow on water or in water or where soil is flooded. These plants plays a vital role in the ecosystem and it includes:

- They are primary producers of energy in food chain.

- They provide critical habitat for other taxonomic groups

-They improve water quality by taking up nutrients, metals, and other contaminants.

These plants has features that helps them to adapt to wet land environmentwhich includes: thin cuticle, Large flat leaves for flotation, and air sacs.

Therefore if farming is stopped and water restored,Populations of native wetland plants will recolonize the land.
