Answer:

keystone species

Explanation:

Keystone species are indispensable species that are essential to the maintaining of the balance of an ecosystem, and also play a major role in the way species in the ecosystem interrelate. The absence or removal of a keystone species from a habitat or ecosystem would lead to the disruption and imbalance of the ecosystem, and as such lead to the extinction of other species.

An example of a keystone species is the bee. Bees are very important in pollination of flowering plants and also ensure their survival. This plants serve as home to various insects that are source of food to birds. The removal of bees from this ecosystem would affect the ecological balance of this ecosystem.

Climate characterized by mild temperatures is ______. Question 4 options: tropical humid dense temperate
Pachacha [2.7K]

The correct answer is - temperate.

The temperate climates can simply be described as climates with milder temperatures. These climates have changes of seasons, four of them, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The springs and autumns tend to have mild temperatures, the summers are warm, and the winters are cold, but the highest and lowest temperatures do not come close to the extremely high temperatures in the tropical zone, or extremely low temperatures in the high latitude zones. So these climates have temperatures that are in between the extremes of the low and high altitudes, thus they are milder climates.
