http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/data/query/index.html?lang=en. Step 1. Choose five nations (including the United States) from the enormous database by clicking the corresponding boxes. For "select variables", choose these three: 1. Under "Water Resources" choose "Total Renewable Water Resources" and within that choose only "Total Renewable Water Resources per Capita. 2. Choose "Water Use" and then "Pressure on Water Resources" . Within that subset choose only"SDG 6.4.2 Water Stress". "SDG" means the Sustainable Development Goal. This value is the percentage of total available water that is used by a nation. 3. Under "Water Use" choose "Water Withdrawal by Sector", and within that choose only "Total Water Withdrawal per Capita". Nation Resources per Capita Withdrawal per Capita % Water Stress: withdrawal vs. resources) Step 2. Based…

Shannon Diversity Index Habitat 1 is found to have 50 different species, while Habitat 2 has only 10. What is the most accurate statement from the choices below about the diversity in Habitat 1 vs. Habitat 2? Group of answer choices -Habitat 1 is definitely more diverse than Habitat 2 because there are more species in it. -Habitat 1 would not be considered more diverse than Habitat 2 if the species in it were mostly producers or mostly consumers. -Habitat 1 would not be considered more diverse than Habitat 2 if only one or very few species predominated, while Habitat 2 had more species with larger representation.

Other than elephant herbivores preying on the acacia trees, identify two different types of direct interspecies interactions found in the community described in the background or shown in the video. Name the interaction, identify the two types of species involved (use properly formatted scientific names), and describe how each species is affected by the interaction (is it a positive or negative interaction for them, and what benefit or harm results to them?) video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3blzcbll7Q&t=287s
