Question

What is one of the possible mechanisms why dung burial improves range animal productivity? Dung burial reduces habitat for some life stages of parasites. Dung burial increases the population growth rate of pest flies. Dung burial reduces olfactory competition, leading to increased pollinator efficiency. Dung burial increases the rate of nitrogen volatilization into the atmosphere.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dung burial increases the rate of nitrogen volatilization into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Dung burial increases the rate of nitrogen volatilization into the atmosphere because dung burial is the activities performed by beetles by incorporating and burying manure or dung inside the soil. As the beetles perform this activities, by burying and burrowing in the soil,the soil are exposed and allow aeration of the soil. Once the soil are aerated, nitrogenous compounds in the soil turns to nitrogen gas i.e they volatise into the atmosphere as nitrogen gas.
