The correct answer is C. An increasse in the coyote population.

Explanation

The food chain is a system of food relationships between producer, consumer, and decomposer organisms. This system, in other words, serves to inform which organism eats which, because a living being feeds on another that precedes it in the chain and so on is eaten by the one that follows it. According to the example in the question, vegetation would be the first organism in the chain, the second organism would be the rabbit and the third organism would be the coyote. Likewise, if the coyote population increased , the coyotes would eat more rabbits so, the Cottontail rabbit population will decrease. So, the correct answer is A. C. An increasse in the coyote population.

The answer is C because if there are more coyotes, more rabbits would be eaten by them.

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment
Setler [38]

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment ?

Oxygen levels for aquatic animals

Oxygen from the air and oxygen produced by aquatic plants dissolves in water. Without this, aquatic animals would suffocate and die. Healthy lakes and rivers have high levels of oxygen, and polluted waters often have low levels of oxygen. This pollution means that only certain species can survive there such as sludgeworms. These are bioindicator species because their presence or absence informs us about the condition of the habitat.

Carbon dioxide levels for plants

Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis which means plants need it to survive. Areas with higher levels of carbon dioxide are more likely to have healthy plants growing. Farmers often release carbon dioxide within their greenhouses to maximise their crop yield. Woodlands often have higher carbon dioxide levels than open grassland, so many plants living in open areas have evolved mechanisms to overcome a shortage of carbon dioxide.

How do you think a period of cold spring will affect the rabbit population
Rus_ich [418]

Explanation:

Cold springs can affect the reproduction of rabbits as the rabbit's main priority is to survive before adding more to its family as they would already be struggling to keep itself warm. Yet alone a newborn rabbit which doesn't have any fur yet.

Also, cold springs could affect the amount of food that grows so the competition for food is more harsh so more rabbits are likely to die of starvation.

Though I'm not sure what your temperature range of a cold spring is so I might be giving extreme answers.
