How has human interaction affected the Mississippi Delta?

Biology
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]4 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

10) A species is considered introduced when its transport into an area outside of its native range is human mediated. Introducti
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The introduction of new species in the new area make the specie invasive if there is no predator is present in that ecosystem because the predator helps in the controlling of the population of that invasive species. The big example of invasive species is rabbit in the Australia where rabbit become invasive when there is no predator is present in that region so they increase in population and destroy all vegetation of that region. So if there is no predator of a newly introduced species, it become invasive in future.

What would happen if the number of salmon decreased
Ganezh [65]

What would most likely occur is that the organisms that eat salmon would have less food to eat and if their food supply, in this case, salmon were to run out, they would die or they would have to find something else to eat. If the organism that eats the salmon dies, in this case we'll call that organism, organism A, any other organisms that eat organism A will die or will have to find another means of food. So basically it causes a disruption in the food chain which can lead to the extinction of different species

According to the dichotomous key, in what way(s) is the house sparrow similar to the cobra? A) Both are autotrophic and live on
vitfil [10]

The correct answer is the option (D) Both are not a mammal, are multicellular, and are heterotrophic.

Keys in biology are used to identify the different species based on the easily identifiable features of the organism. A dichotomous key consists of a series of questions on features like habitat, mode of nutrition, class to which they belong and other features, with each question having two answers describing the characteristic features of an organism. The series of questions begin with a broader characteristic feature becoming narrow gradually and helping in the identification of the organism.

Both the house sparrow and a cobra cannot synthesize their own food and depend on other organisms for food. Hence they are heterotrophic. They are multicellular in nature. A cobra belongs to the class Repltiles and a house sparrow belongs to the class Aves. Thus, a house sparrow and a cobra are similar to each other in being multicellular, heterotrophic and not belonging to the class mammals.
