Answer: Carbon is one of the essential gases in nature,couple of natural processes causes the release of carbon. Some of the processes include;
- When the remains of producers are broken down by decomposers in the ecosystem.
- When animals break down food molecules to obtain energy, carbon is released.
- When the remains of consumers in the ecosystem are broken down by soil decomposers, carbon is released.
The intermediate disturbance hypothesis predicts that species diversity will be highest when the frequency and/or intensity of disturbances are intermediate
Explanation:
The diversity of the species is maximised at an intermediate near of anthropogenic as well as natural disturbances. As the competitively inferior disturbances are being tolerated for species disturbance and are termed to be dominant. Co exist of the sensitive species when the disturbance are either frequent or rare, which possess the reduced level of the disturbances. the productivity is predicted as very less due to competitive exclusion. As the disturbances increases productivity becomes less as most of them unable to sustain the regular destructive occurrence. So with the intermediate disturbances productivity is high as the rapid colonizers and dominant competitors are able to coexist.
We set up an experiment where the same species of plant is grown in boxes covered with plastic that only allows a single color of light through. In which box would we expect the least plant growth and even perhaps the death of the plant to occur?
Answer:green
Just like the fields near Mt. St. Helen's returned back after a few years of ashes, many ecosystems find their way through the aftermath of a disaster.
