Help will be gladly apprecaited Ttrue or false questions 1.Logging roads can cause harmful effects such as topsoil erosion, sediment runoff into waterways, habitat loss, and loss of biodiversity. 2.Historian, conservationist, and writer Wallace Stegner called National Parks, “the best idea America ever had.” 3.Parks can be affected by surrounding disruption, such as noise. 4.Because large natural areas are more beneficial than smaller ones, Costa Rica has created large megareserves by combining smaller protected areas.
10. 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
Article readings: Why some animals are more important to ecosystem than others. From the article, list down all the species being described as keystone species and their negative effect when removed from their ecosystem. Define the ‘Keystone species concept” and differentiate it from “morphological species concept”. How does a keystone species plays its role in having a trophic cascade scenario? 1 sentence only.
Conservation 1. Contrast wilderness areas with wildlife refuges. Do you think each of these areas continue to fulfilltheir original purpose for which they were created? 2. How do the principles of island biogeography (the “island” drawings & examples in the lecture video)highlight these two important issues for conservation, especially for areas in the middle of developedlandscapes?a. Size of area preserved -b. Distance from “mainland” - 3. What is the “edge” and “core” area of a reserve? Why is it so important to maximize “core” habitats?
As ecological development proceeds, a biological community 1.gradually stagnates. 2.becomes more diverse. 3.goes through repeated secondary succession stages. 4.goes through repeated primary succession stages. becomes less complex.
You are a defense attorney arguing in court for sparing a tropical rain forest from being cut down. Give your three best arguments for the defense of this ecosystem. Do the same for sparing a threatened coral reef. If you had to choose between protecting a tropical rainforest and a coral reef, which one would you select? Explain.Miller, G. Tyler. Environmental Science (p. 164). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.
