Damages all the flora in ecosystem and consume the entire plant, including the roots and no chances of that flora to grow back.

anygoal [31]

Answer: Decrease the amount of animal waste that reaches the water supply.

A fecal coliform is an anaerobic, rod shaped and gram-negative bacteria. It originates in the intestines of warm blooded organisms. It is released in the fecal matter of humans and animals. This bacterial strain is a chief contaminant of water body. The waterborne diseases associated in humans because of this bacterial strain includes infection of ears, bacterial and viral gastroenteritis, typhoid fever and hepatitis A. The bacterial strain is added to water body by discharge of human sewage, pet animal feces runoff and agricultural wastes including animal fecal based manure runoff.

Therefore, by decreasing the amount of animal waste that reaches the water supply is an appropriate action that Florida farm could take to reduce fecal caliform in nearby water supplies.

Luda [366]

The ability to sustain aerobic activity for a prolonged period of time is known as cardiorespiratory fitness.

Cardiorespiratory fitness or endurance refers to the ability of the circulatory as well as respiratory systems of the body to provide fuel or power during sustained aerobic activity.

In order to enhance one's cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activities which maintain heart rate elevations at a safe level for a sustained length of time, like walking, running, cycling, etc. need to be attempted.

The cardiorespiratory fitness is linked with the functioning of heart, lungs as well as blood vessels. However, one should slowly increase the pace when performing such activities.
