<u>Answer:- </u> Decomposition

<u>Explanation:- </u>

Decomposition is a natural process that occurs in the environment to break down organic substances into simpler substances.

  • All the living organisms that die, are decomposed and their bodies are broken down into simpler substances such that the nutrients are released into the soil.
  • The plants are then able to absorb these nutrients from the soil and thus, the nutrient cycling goes on as the organisms feeds on it.
  • Not only the dead animals but also the fallen leaves and other parts of the plant gets decomposed as they die.
  • The process of decomposition is carried out by living organisms present in the soil such as bacteria. Such organisms are called as decomposers.

What caused the composition of Earth’s early oceans to transition from dissolved carbon dioxide to dissolved oxygen?A.
Tema [17]

Hello.

The answer is: A.Ultraviolet rays from the Sun converted dissolved carbon dioxide to oxygen.

the more carbon dioxide that people pumped into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, the more the oceans would absorb. The ocean would continue to soak up more and more carbon dioxide until global warming heated the ocean enough to slow down ocean circulation.

Have a nice day

How would you classify corals' role in its community (keystone, dominant, foundation, pioneer, Indicator, or more than one) and
kogti [31]

Answer: Keystone species

Explanation: A keystone species is a species which occupied a niche so central in the ecosystem that it has a disproportionately large effect on its environment and other species in it.

The coral's function in its ecosystem is so vital that if you were to remove it, the entire community would be drastically altered beyond recognition.

The coral serves as the base structure of its ecosystem.

That is to say that many corals are hermatypic(they form reefs). This reef serves as the environmental structure of the Coral's ecosystem. Built in and around it is a very biodiverse biotic environment. The coral not only serves as a hiding place and habitat for many marine organisms including fish, clams, lobsters, etc. It serves as resting place for larger animals like turtles and also serves as hunting sites for other animal species.

The most common way of determining a keystone species, is to see what happens when that species is removed from the ecosystem. Coral have shown to be so central to their ecosystem that the bleaching of coral reefs due to tourism and climate change causes a massive loss to biodiversity. And this is quite significant as reefs are the most biodiverse marine habitats.
