The mangrove tree is an important foundation species in estuarine and coastal forests. When mangrove trees are removed, it resul
ts in a rapid build-up of acid sulfides in the soil and increases shoreline erosion. What is a LIKELY impact of removal of mangroves from their habitat? A) The food web in the region would stabilize rapidly.
B) The number of aquatic species would gradually increase.
C) The sedimentation rate would increase and new hatcheries would form.
D) Inshore breeding areas would be affected and aquatic species would decline.
In an experiment, using the elodea stalk, you are able to expose more underlying tissue and the process can be executed more quickly and it's easy to replicate the natural position for a more realistic result. hope this helps
