Answer:

d) Pioneer species have large numbers of offspring, and climax communities contain species that have small numbers of offspring.

Explanation:

A pioneer species is the first species to inhabit a bare area of land. Many times, this bare land is covered with rocks, so the plants that first inhabit the area are important because their roots break up the rocky land to access nutrients beneath them. Pioneer species usually have the following characteristics:

Tolerable of harsh living conditions

Seedy plants that germinate easily

Small seeds so they can be dispersed by the wind easily

Have a short life cycle

Reproduce asexually

Once these pioneer plant species take root, they are important for the growth of the ecosystem because they provide homes for smaller animals and insects. They also trap moisture in the soil so other plants can grow in the new ecosystem as well. One of the most important factors in the development of a pioneer community is the amount of wind an area receives because the wind is responsible for carrying the seeds of different plants to these barren locations.

Only nation that averages more than one car per person
ANEK [815]

Answer:

San Marino

Explanation:

There's only one country in the world that has more than one car per capita, which might sound weird considering that there are several very small countries that have very rich populations, so they are kind of expected as well to fall into this category.

The country that has the privilege to have more than one car per capita is San Marino. It is a very small nation, with relatively good standard, and with the population having big passion about cars.

The country has 1,263 cars per 1,000 people, or rather 1.263 cars per person. Even though there is no real need for a car in the country itself when taken in consideration just how miniature it is, the people have cars mostly for moving in Italy, which is the country that surrounds theirs from all sides.
