Why is it important to study grouse habitat selection and demography relative to human land use practices?

1 answer:

Grouse species have evolved living in environments with little vertical structure and in areas with minimum human activity (from roads and cultivation to other more complex infrastructure). In the recent decades, there has been a significant increase in wind energy development in diverse areas and ecosystems. This development involves construction and placement of tall man-made structures, such as wind turbines and other infrastructure in habitats with high wind capacity. These habitats are often occupied by grouse species. This coexistence could severely endanger the species survivorship and reproductive ability. It is very important to study grouse habitat selection and demography, so that appropriate regulatory guidelines can be applied to wind energy development.

Hotspots are plumes of magma that originates deep below the ______. with respect to overlying plates, these plumes can remain __

rusak2 [61]

The hotspots are regions, where the plumes of magma are present just below the lithosphere. The plume of the magma is the particles of the volcano and the gases, which is erupted during the volcanic eruption. It is generated by the fragmentation of the magma. Once, it reaches the lithosphere, it get spreaded laterally.

The plumes at the hotspots are present just below the tectonic plates, a high temperature r heat and the low pressure causes the rocks present in the lithosphere to melt resulting in volcanic eruption. At hotspot, the melting of rock takes time, sometimes it is very slow, due to the presence of various tectonic plates. Hence, the plumes can remain stationary for a very long period of time without erupting.

So, the first blank can be filled with Lithosphere and the second blank can be filled with Stationary.
