Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>When the salt water resulting from using salt to thaw ice and snow is washed off the road, the nearby plants along the roadside would be subjected to osmotic stress due to the lower water potential of the soil water when compared to that of their cells. Consequently, the plants are expected to lose water to the surrounding salt solution until an equilibrium is established between their cytosols and the soil solution. </em>

Why was soil in wheat farms so much more vulnerable to erosion?
erica [24]

Explanation: The potential soil erosion increases if the soil has no or very little vegetative cover of plants/grass and/or crop residues. Plant and residue cover protects the soil from rain impact and splashes from it. It tends to slow down the movement of runoff water and allows excess surface water to infiltrate.

Besides respiration, what other ways is carbon released into the atmosphere?
Veronika [31]
Carbon cycle, one of the most important elements that make up the structure of living things in an ecosystem carbon. Carbon is found in the structure of all organic compounds in living things. 
Earth is important warehouses;
Atmospheric CO2In the waters of CO2 and HCO3-Land, usually coal, is the structure of the oil and limestone.<span>Photosynthesis by plants using airborne CO2 and O2 is converted to organic compounds. By participating in CO2 carbon all live in the structure of the building is used as a raw organic food energy and structure. In respiratory events again returned to the atmosphere as CO2. If a portion of the carbon is deposited on the ground layer mineral or dead plants and animals through the soil into the organic waste. Here are separated by saprophytes live or coal goes back into the atmosphere through the use of fossil fuels such as oil. However, excessive use of fossil fuels in the atmosphere the CO2 greenhouse effect climate change will bring about in the world, raises a few degrees increase and the consequent danger of melting glaciers at the poles of the temperature.</span><span />
