Predict how an unusually prolonged drought might affect a biological community

1 answer:

6 0

Primary consumers (such as grazers and browsers) of the biological community will put pressure on the primary producers (these are plants) since the primary producers have limited resources (water) to reproduce due to the drought. The primary producers hence become scarce and cause the primary consumers to compete for limited resources. This causes the primary producers to reduce in population. Reduction in their population causes limited resources for secondary consumers and this cascades up the food web to tertiary consumers.

(a) if the seawater carbonate ion concentration is 270 ?mol/kg, what is the approximate rate of calcification, and approximately

Travka [436]

Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.
