Most of the Blackland Prairie ecoregion of Texas has been converted to farmland and ranches. Between crop harvests, some farmers

grow a type of plant called a cover crop, while other farmers leave the fields bare. How do these practices affect the soil of the Blackland Prairie?
A. Planting a cover crop or leaving the ground bare are both practices that will completely prevent soil erosion.

B. Equal amounts of erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms, regardless of whether cover crops are planted.

C. More erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms with cover crops than on farms without cover crops.

D. Less erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms with cover crops than on farms without cover crops.

Answer:

D. Less erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms with cover crops than on farms without cover crops.

Explanation:

A cover crop is a crop planted to protect the soil from erosion, diseases, etc rather than to produce crop yield.

This type of crop has prevention of soil erosion on the farmland among one of its many functions. Other functions include increasing soil quality, suppress weeds, etc.

Cover crops prevent erosion by reducing the amount of water that is drained off a land because of its deep roots which enables water to be sieved from the ground. Their residue is left on the land to prevent excess water runoff, thereby protecting the land from erosion during heavy rainfall.

Some examples of cover crops are legumes and grasses.

Therefore, farmers in Blackland Prairie that leave their farms bare are more at risk of erosion than farmers that plant cover crops.

Please help me i don’t understand
Eddi Din [679]
1. Biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life. It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

2. weathering and other natural forces break down the substrate, rock, enough for the establishment of certain hearty plants and lichens with few soil requirements, known as pioneer species. These species help to further break down the mineral-rich lava into soil where other, less hardy species can grow and eventually replace the pioneer species. In addition, as these early species grow and die, they add to an ever-growing layer of decomposing organic material and contribute to soil formation. This process repeats multiple times during succession. At each stage, new species move into an area, often due to changes to the environment made by the preceding species, and may replace their predecessors. At some point, the community may reach a relatively stable state and stop changing in composition. However, it's unclear if there is always—or even usually—a stable endpoint to succession.

3. I don’t have the video so I’m going to take. Wild guess. Just look up types of finches

4. Broadly speaking, different species are unable to interbreed and produce healthy, fertile offspring due to barriers called mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
These barriers can be split into two categories based on when they act: prezygotic and postzygotic.

I tried my best hope this helps :)

What is the relationship of NADP and NADPH?
Lynna [10]
NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+. This simply means that NADPH has an extra hydrogen ion. NADPH is formed when upon the reduction of NADP+ . NADP stands for nicotine amide dinucleotide phosphate. It is a coenzyme that is involved in a wide range of anabolic reactions. During the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants, NADPH acts as a reducing agent, likewise in the synthesis of nucleic acids and lipids. As a reduced compound, NADPH becomes a molecule with high energy thus being especially useful in driving the Calvin cycle.
