Forest trees have trunks, branches, and big roots, contributing to large amounts of total biomass. Grasslands have comparatively less biomass, but have a larger net primary production than that of forests. Why is this so? A. Less respiration is needed in the forest habitat  B. More biomass is added in a grassland in the same time as that of forests C.  The number of consumers within the forest is greater D.  Solar energy is converted to chemical energy at a much higher rate in forests

Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.
