The period during which the presence of stromatolites decline is the Proterzoic period. Stromatolites are widely distributed sedimentary structures consisting of laminated carbonate or silicate rocks, produced over geologic time by the trapping, binding, or the precipitating of sediment by groups of microorganisms, primarily cyanobacteria.
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will diffuse to the ocean water (since normally, there is lower concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean water). The dissolved carbon dioxide takes into the form of carbonic acid thereby increasing acidity of ocean water. More often than not, the acidification of ocean water leads to detrimental results especially in marine organisms that are pH sensitive such as coral reefs and many invertebrates.
Carrying capacity is the maximum amount of organisms a certain ecosystem can sustain with the resources available in a given ecosystem.
Factors that could either increase or decrease the K, carry capacity, would be: drastic weather causing depletion of resources, decreases in competition, etc.
Answer:
this question doesn't make any sense. where are the different parts that we're trying to match up?
It is strengthened by data which is always contradictory.
