:

D. Both competition and environmental filtering shape community structure.

Explanation:

Based on competition theory,  two  organisms occupying the same ecological niche can only coexist   provided  there is spatial or conditioning niche partitioning.This  prevent  competitive exclusion , ensuring survival of the two species in their niche. Since the two species developed greater variability in (over-dispersed traits)  to resist the selection  pressure,(competition).Many overdisperesed traits is present in the communities.

  However environmental filtering, is concerned with selection of species with  natural ability or triats to survive in a given communities,Thus if two species of organism  meet the same ecologocal requirements in a community, environmental filtering, fitters them and ensure their survival ahead of others who do not meet the requirements, and could not survive.

Thus the simultaneous operation of theses  two opposing selection pressures, structured communities ensuring coexistence and favoured ability of organism to survive.

Explain one adaptation that helps grasses succeed in grasslands
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Basal meristems

Explanation:

Meristems are the portion of plants able to generate any kind of new tissues. Therefore, the way plants keep their meristems protected is related to climate adaptation.

Grasslands tend to be arid ecosystems, so grasses have developed basal meristems, meaning they spend the dry season very close or under soil, where water evaporates slowlier than above surface, until wet season allows meristems to generate new stems and leaves.

This disposition is also useful in cases of fire and grazing, which are also frecuent in grasslands.
