Question

A number of inputs and practices are essential to the highly productive form of industrial agriculture practiced today. However, uncontrolled or excessive use of these can have severe, if unintended, "downstream" effects if they are allowed to enter watersheds. For each input/practice, match the MOST LIKELY risk. NOTE: Some practices are associated with more than one risk, but only ONE combination will result in a best match for all. Chemical Fertilizers Stockyard Runoff Soil disturbance Pesticides A.Erosion, flooding; clogged shipping channels and harbors B. Reproductive failure, poisoning, and/or death (pollinators, pets, livestock, predators, children) C. Algal blooms followed by eutrophication D. Increased biological oxygen demand/decreased dissolved oxygen

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical Fertilizers

C. Algal blooms followed by eutrophication  is the correct one

Stockyard Runoff

Correct D. Increased biological oxygen demand/decreased dissolved oxygen

Soil disturbance

Correct A. Erosion, flooding; clogged shipping channels and harbors

Pesticides

Correct B. Reproductive failure, poisoning, and/or death (pollinators, pets, livestock, predators, children)

Explanation:

For industrial agriculture to be effective and productive today, we have to take into account many factors so our practices function in a good way. When it comes to chemical fertilizers, it is NOT a risk the Increased biological oxygen demand/decreased dissolved oxygen , the correct risk is algal blooms followed by eutrophication. Regarding Stockyard Runoff  it is wrong to think the algal blooms followed by eutrophication  as risk, the actual risk is the increased biological oxygen demand/decreased dissolved oxygen. The risk in soil disturbance is the erosion, flooding; clogged shipping channels and harbors  and thinking about pesticides , they are in risk for reproductive failure, poisoning, and/or death (pollinators, pets, livestock, predators, children) .
