After a volcanic eruption, ecosystems undergo a series of events known as succession. A study done by ecologists on Mount St. He

lens concludes that primary succession occurs when lupines are able to enrich the soil. Lupines are a nitrogen-fixing plant well adapted to colonizing sterilized ecosystems. However, the progression of the lupine is slowed by a certain predatory caterpillar. What would be the MOST successful strategy for ensuring succession in an area where lupines and the caterpillars both colonize?
A) introduce a controlled fire to begin secondary succession

B) move the caterpillar populations to a different area

C) spread lupine seeds to increase the density of growth

D) replace the lupines with another type of plant

The correct option is C.
From the information given above, it can be seen that, the caterpillar is a predator of the lupine plant. In order to ensure successful succession in the environment, the best thing to do is to increase the density of growth of the lupine plant, so that there will still be enough lupine plant to enrich the soil even though the caterpillar is feeding on them.

RUDIKE [14]
The experimental procedure to test whether plants that are exposed to music grow faster than those that are not should follow the following steps. First, the plants must all be placed in a place where all must be exposed in the same type of environment in terms of sunlight, temperature, water and soil. Second, one of the plant must be exposed to two to three hours of classical music per day. Then you should expose one plant to five to six hours of music per day too. The remaining two plants will be treated as your control plants wherein these will be not exposed to music at all. Before you begin the experiment, you should take pictures of each plant. Next, you should take pictures after two, four and eight weeks. After the steps, observe any visible and palpable differences between the plants which were exposed to music and those that have note. Lastly, also observe the differences between the plants which were exposed to less and those exposed to more music.
