Question
Chapter 31.4, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The type of species most likely to disappear from small patches of forest and resulting effect on the ecosystem.
Introduction:
Species disappear or extinction of species occurs when the habitat of the species gets affected by human activities like urbanization, and deforestation.
This will result in an imbalance in the ecosystem, an imbalance in the food chain, bad climate conditions, an increase in the rate of global warming.
