The sampling effect hypothesis is an explanation for why productivity increases when plant species diversity increases. Which of

these predictions follows from this hypothesis?
a) Productivity should be highest in the tropics, where species diversity is highest. '
b) The more mutualists are present (e.g. beneficial fungi, nitrogen-fixing plants), the higher the biomass.
c) If a certain "big-producer" is present, then biomass in a plot is high. If the big producer is absent, biomass is low.
d) There should be a strong positive relationship between the number of functional groups in an experimental plot and biomass.

<h2>The answer is C </h2>

If a certain “big-producer” is present, then biomass in a plot is high. If the big producer is absent, biomass is low follows from this hypothesis. Productivity means the condition, position, or action of remaining capacity to produce, organize, intensify the plant species. Therefore the sampling effect hypothesis is an explanation for why productivity increases when plant species diversity increases. The above mentioned prediction follows hypothesis.

What qualities of metamorphic rocks make them very useful and desirable for building?
sashaice [31]

Slate starts out as shale under the surface of the Earth before its metamorphosis. It is typically gray in color and splits along long flat planes. It is also does not allow water or other liquids to pass through it. Slate is most often used as a roofing material, decorative gardening stone and a base for snooker tables. In the Victorian era, it was commonly used as a writing board.

Marble is another one of the metamorphic rocks and is a metamorphosed limestone. It has a hard crystalline rock appearance and was the stone of choice in ancient Greece. In fact, more than 22,000 tonnes of marble were used to build the ancient Greek Parthenon and marble remains a popular building and sculpture material today. It can also be ground down to make cleaning products or soaps.

Schist is another metamorphic rock that is formed from either mud or shale. However, it is formed at a much higher temperature than slate is. Schist is a fairly weak rock so it does not make for a good building material. It is used for paving and occasionally sculpture.

pickupchik [31]
Salinity refers to an increase in the dissolved salt content of a body of water. Salinity has great impacts on the type of organisms that live inside the water. In the question given above, the salinity occurs as a result of non natural influence; since most of the organisms living inside the water before probably have specific optimal salinity range, if the salinity exceed the range they can cope with, they will probably migrate away from the water, those that refuse to migrate will probably die out and new species which can cope with the salinity level will emerge.
