- The extremely low precipitation of subtropical desert biomes might lead one to expect fire to be a major disturbance factor; however, fire is more common in the temperate grassland biome than in the subtropical desert biome. Why is this?The process whereby oxygen is depleted by the growth of microorganisms due to excess nutrients in aquatic systems is called _________. a. dead zoning b. eutrophication c. retrophication d. depletionUsing the African Savannah food web below, describe what would happen to various animals and plants if Impala were hunted to extinction? Remember to consider how various levels might be helped, harmed, or unaffected. Must explain impact on at least two different trophic levels. African Grassland Food Web Cheetah Leopar Lion Hunting dog Glraffe Impala Babeon Wildebeest Acacia Grames Termites Zebra
- There are many theories that explain why there is higher species richness in the tropical rainforest than the temperate forests. Provide two biotic factors and two abiotic factors explanation.What do you think are the multiple stresses that aquatic environments are exposed to? Where do these stresses come from? List down at least three, which you think are major stresses on aquatic environments. Explain briefly why you think these are major stresses.Explain how/why ecologists can use trophic cascades to understand the “bottom up” vs. “top down” dynamic of a system
- A conceptual model representing the role, interaction, reaction, and density of essential ecosystem components is shown below. Examine the model and the relationships between the major players (i.e., predator, prey, producer). The structure's most important role is played by these major players. It's also worth noting that nutrition has been included in the model. This is the abiotic component that has a direct or indirect impact on the interaction. Question: Based on this scenario, what is the most significant role of sea otters in the marine community? Why it’s important?In your own case study, describe and illustrate how changes in an organismal population can have unintended effects on trophic levels or ecosystems. Identify the organisms and nutrients that are present in your trophic pyramid. Describe the normal flow of your trophic cascade along with whether removal or introduction of the organism has a positive or negative effect on other organisms or nutrient levels within an ecosystem.Damselflies in the genus Lestes can live in ponds that vary in amount of time they hold water and predator presence. Yet, one species, Lestes dryas damselfly is confined to vernal ponds lacking large dragonfly predators and fish. Where this species live defines its a) biome b) fundamental niche c) realized niche d) interspecific interactions

Aside from marine organisms, who would be affected by this problem? Would you consider this oil spill to be particularly severe for taking place in summer during the month of August? Compare the effects of this oil spill if it were to take place in the month of February.Habitat components are of two types, abiotic and biotic. List several components of each type.Review the images of the two biomes, the tundra and the taiga. Notice that while there are about 1,700 kinds of plants, there are virtually no tree species in the tundra. Which limiting factor prevents the immigration of tree species into the tundra? Responses A rocky, poor soil rocky, poor soil B very short growing season very short growing season C the presence of permafrost the presence of permafrost D winters are six months long
