During succession, the limiting factor that may affect the sun-loving mosses when taller plants start to grow around them is that there will be a competition in the water available in the soil since there is a high chance that these taller plants could use the water up more. In addition, these mosses will not get the full benefit from the sun because the taller plants are blocking.
Answer: a. adaptation
Explanation:
Sensory adaptation can be define as the reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after a constant exposure to the stimulus. When the awareness and sensitivity towards the constant stimulus reduces, then the attention of the receives diverts to another stimulus present in the environment around it.
The given situation demonstrates the sensory adaptation this is because of the fact that Sariah developed the sensory adaptation towards the constant stimulus that is chirping. Now her attention diverts and she was able to talk to her friends, and she lost awareness of chirping although it was still there.
Complete Question:
I made the grass diseased. This caused all of the populations above it (rabbit, snake, and hawk) to rapidly decrease over the 12 month period
(a) A major disturbance that the ecosystem was able to recover completely from __________
(b) A major disturbance that caused the ecosystem to stabilize at a new equilibrium ____________
(c) A major disturbance that caused the ecosystem to completely collapse __________
ANSWER:
(a) reducing the hawks to nearly zero
(b) removing all of the hawks
(c) removing all the diseased.
Explanation:
(a) reducing the hawks to nearly zero will cause low depletion of the producer (plants) and this will allow the plant to grow (without visible depletion) over a period of time.
(b) for the ecosystem to stabilize at a new equilibrium, the tertiary consumer (hawks) will be totally removed from the ecosystem. Since there's no tertiary consumer to checkmate the density of other components of the food chain, it will make it form a balanced ecosystem.
(c) for ecosystem to collapse, it's important to note that the removal of the producer (plants) will be bring about the loss of the ecosystem. Since, their is no manufacturer of food, the primary consumer (rabbit) in the food chain will be starved and overtime the rabbits will be wiped out and this will caused the loss of secondary and tertiary consumer in the long run.
Answer:
population density
population distribution
age structure
Explanation:
if we look at this question; it looks glaring that it correlates with a fill in the blank type of question.
So, from the question:
Frank counts 56 maple trees living on a 20-acre tract of land, and the data allows him to calculate the <u>population density</u> of the maple trees on the land.
In an ecological succession, population density refer to species of a common genera in specific geographical setting. It helps to measure the exact number of organism inhabitant a unit area of a place.
He observes that most of the maple trees grow closely together in groups of 6 to 8 trees, which describes the <u>population distribution. </u>
Population distribution is the spread of organism over a region in a geographic ecological setting. The pattern of distribution of organism may be uniform , in some organism they are largely dispersed and in some they are clumped together.
The<u> age structure </u>of the maple trees shows the percentages of trees of different ages.
The age structure is also a term used in ecology which is normally use to predict the proportion of growth of organisms. Age structure of species in the environment speaks volume about their distribution of age.
