Answer:

Flooding is a major disturbance that impacts aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystem services that they provide. Predicted increases in global flood risk due to land use change and water cycle intensification will likely only increase the frequency and severity of these impacts. Extreme flooding events can cause loss of life and significant destruction to property and infrastructure, effects that are easily recognized and frequently reported in the media. However, flooding also has many other effects on people through freshwater aquatic ecosystem services, which often go unrecognized because they are less evident and can be difficult to evaluate. Here, we identify the effects that small magnitude frequently occurring floods (< 10-year recurrence interval) and extreme floods (> 100-year recurrence interval) have on ten aquatic ecosystem services through a systematic literature review. We focused on ecosystem services considered by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment including: (1) supporting services (primary production, soil formation), (2) regulating services (water regulation, water quality, disease regulation, climate regulation), (3) provisioning services (drinking water, food supply), and (4) cultural services (aesthetic value, recreation and tourism). The literature search resulted in 117 studies and each of the ten ecosystem services was represented by an average of 12 ± 4 studies. Extreme floods resulted in losses in almost every ecosystem service considered in this study. However, small floods had neutral or positive effects on half of the ecosystem services we considered. For example, small floods led to increases in primary production, water regulation, and recreation and tourism. Decision-making that preserves small floods while reducing the impacts of extreme floods can increase ecosystem service provision and minimize losses.

What was at stake between the competing candidates, especially Adams and Jackson?
garik1379 [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What was at stake between the competing candidates, especially Adams and Jackson was the reputation and legality of the United States election system.

We are talking about the controversial US election of 1824.

In this election, four candidates participated: Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and William Crawford. The election resulted very competitively, without a clear winner. In the end, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote. That is why the final result relied on the hands of the House of Representatives. Congress gave the final victory to Jhon Quincy Adams, and candidate Jackson accused the decision to be corrupted.

President Adams appointed Henry Clay as his Secretary of State and that made Andrew Jackson accuse this of a corruption action. The popular mane of this situation was known as the Corrupt Bargain.
