Based on value of change in shoot biomass, the study reveals that late plants benefited most from the introduction of soil invertebrates whole the early plants were worst affected.
<h3>What is ecology?</h3>
Ecology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with one another and their non-living environment.
From the observation of the study conducted:
- A negative value of change in shoot biomass indicates that growth of each plant was reduced as a result of either competition for space or food.
- The late plants were most positively affected as indicated by the highest positive value of change in shoot biomass whereas the early plants were most negatively affected as indicated by the lowest negative value of change in shoot biomass.
Therefore, it can be concluded from the study that late plants benefited most from the introduction of soil invertebrates whole the early plants were worst affected.

The following choices are provided;
- Earthquakes release phosphorus.
- Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
- Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
- Phosphorus is transpired.
The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus
Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.
It should be 18 because:
100 x 2 = 200
200 + 70 = 270
360 - 270 = 90
90/5 = 18
So x = 18
