Introduction:
The ecosystem constantly changes due to various factors. Environmental catastrophes like hurricanes, drought, and forest fires alter the communities existing in the ecosystem.
Forest fires becomes necessary in some ecosystems which helps the soil to replenish nutrients and allows to get rid of debris built up. A forest fire helps to grow new species to thrive in charred conditions.
Answer to Problem 5STP
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (D) Pioneer species are established.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (D). Pioneer species are established. After any environmental disruptions, predictable changes occurs after old community organisms have been removed. New species of plants and animals will thrive in these new conditions because the soil remains intact.
Plants that are able to grow in the disturbed area are the first species or pioneer species. Thus, the pioneer species are first to be established in such ecosystem disturbed by forest fires. So, the correct answer is option (D).
Explanation for incorrect answer
Option (A). A climax community is established. When in an ecosystem, there occurs little or no changes in the composition of species resulting in stable, mature community, it is known as a climax community. In a climax community, little or no changes occur. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (B) New plants grow from seeds that the wind carries to the area. In a barren rock or unused area where no such soil for optimum growth of mature plants, the wind carries seeds, plant pollen grains etc. from mature communities. These seeds may grow on the new surroundings and eventually help to establish a stable complex community. So, this is an incorrect answer
Option (C). New soil forms. In an undeveloped or barren rock or area, the soil or substratum is not developed for establishment of any species. Few

In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules.

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references.
