The noted microbial ecologist Martin W. Beijerinck has stated:“Everything is everywhere, the environment selects.” Use thisconcept to explain what ultimately determines whether amicroorganism can live in a certain habitat.
Why do regime shifts and the amount of zooplankton matter so much
In a shallow coastal ecosystem dominated by seagrasses, nutrient limit primary production under low nutrient ( oligrtropihc) conditions while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient ( eutrophic) condition. In the conceptual model given explain why sea grasses, macroalgae and poluplantkon are in the position of the graph. Kindly explain your answer

D) the slope of the line at the asymptote is a measure of beta diversity. Question 2 Habitats with moderate levels of disturbance have higher species diversity. A) True B) Falsearrow_forwardI think my reasoning is wrong because I keep getting Italy as the answer choice. It seems odd to me that I got Italy three times. The other option is Burkina Faso. So, it is either Italy or Burkina Faso. Please carefully review my answer choices because I could be WRONG. Richness refers to the total number of species of microbe in the gut microbe. Italy, Europe seems to have greater gut microbe richness. Diversity- It is the variety of species Italy has a greater variety of species. Evenness refers to the distribution of abundance across the species in the community. Italy seems to have greater evenness as the species percentage is almost similar.arrow_forward
