There are two types of life strategies used by organisms to survive in their environment.
1. K-selected strategy - growth rate is near the carrying capacity
2. r-selected strategy - growth rate is near biotic potential
Match the characteristices below to the life strategy they represent

Beavers are powerful ecological engineers. When they dam flowing streams they can
create ponds and wetlands. Select all of statements indicating the way that beavers
change energy flow and element cycling by damming streams.
CLIMASE ATAPLAR FORM
Beavers have no effects on energy flow through the brown and green food web
Beaver dams indirectly increase net primary productivity by creating wetlands and ponds
Beavers indirectly reduce secondary productivity
Beavers indirectly decrease primary productivity by turning streams into ponds or
wetlands
Beavers indirectly cause greater releases of carbon to the atmosphere by damning
streams
Beavers indirectly increase energy flow through the green and brown food wegs
Beavers indirectly increase net secondary productivity
Beavers indirectly increase carbon storage in organic matter
Fixed effort harvesting and fixed quota harvesting are two very different approaches to fishing, hunting, and timber harvest. Describe each and describe how each affects the population being harvested.
