Answer:

D) The disappearance of a keystone species due to an increase in water temperature.

Explanation:

A) A decrease in fishing throughout the Great Lakes region. B) A slowdown of clear cutting and construction in the area. C) Normal snowfall in winter, ensuring that water levels remain normal. D) The disappearance of a keystone species due to an increase in water temperature.

<em>The answer would be the disappearance of a keystone species due to an increase in water temperature.</em>

When an ecosystem is said to be stable, it means that the communities of organisms in that ecosystem are relatively undisturbed/unchanged.

The stability of an ecosystem depends largely on the different communities of plant and animal species in interacting with the non-living components of the environment. Hence, when keystone species disappear due to increase in the temperature of the water, the various biological processes are disrupted and the stability of the ecosystem becomes threatened.

<u>Decrease in fishing, slowdown of clear cutting and construction in the area and normal snowfall that ensures normal water levels all serve to promote the stability of the ecosystem.</u>

The correct option is D.

Answer: The factor that could disturb the stability of the ecosystem is the fading or vanishing of a keystone specie.

This fading/vanishing of a keystone specie is as a result of a increase is the temperature of the water.

When there is increase in the temperature of water, it will result in the death of aquatic animals greatly disrupting the stability of the ecosystem because these aquatic animals are what define the ecosystem as the keystone specie, therefore, without these keystone species,the ecosystem will ceases to exist or rather be different dramatically.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Plants Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels.
