This is a typical example of R selection life strategy. These species, including the Atlantic cod, produce a large number of offspring with a low chance of surviving to adulthood. This strategy is particularly successful in environments that are unstable. The main advantage of this strategy in changing environments is that the ''cost'' of making offspring is very low, so you the species can produce large numbers offspring, ensuring that at least some of them will survive into adulthood and continue the species.
Natural selection, in this case, favors the individuals that are able to adapt the fastest to the changing conditions.
The correct answer is option C) A wet spring before vegetation is growing. A lack of roots holding soils and sediments together and an over-abundance of water can result in mass movements.
All would be affected because decomposers like to break down dead things meaning dead plants AND animals
Macromolecules, hope this helps.
