Asian carp are an invasive species of fish. When the Asian carp invade a river or lake, they overtake the food and space from the native fish. What type of density-dependent factor would this be considered?
An ecologist does an experiment in a grassland. She has several plots of land with prairie plants on them. Each plot is either a control (nothing added) or one of the following nutrients was added (phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur). Over the following month the phosphorus and sulfur plots had primary productivity similar to the control plots while the plots with added nitrogen had significantly higher primary productivity. Based on this you can conclude that nitrogen is… Group of answer choices a. flowing b. fixed c. biologically magnified d. a limiting nutrient e. cycling
