Question
Chapter 40, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which abiotic environment on the edge of strips or patches different than area before, which was disturbed. Also determine the changes in vegetation which are expected to see in the next few years and the way in which animals are affected by forest fragmentation.
Concept introduction:
The forest fragmentation means the cutting of only few trees in a forest which creates the patches in the area and also disturbs the natural habitat. The fragmentation of forests may lead to soil erosion and affect vegetation.

- A large hurricane destroys a coastal forest, leaving only a bare, muddy seashore. The following year, ecologists find small sea grasses growing in the area. What will an ecologist EXPECT to observe in later years? This ecosystem will be converted into a grassy beach. Eventually small shrubs will begin to grow, and after a number of years, trees will grow in this area again. Nothing will happen because the hurricane destroyed the ecosystem.arrow_forwardWhen crop fields are not being used in the current growing season, farmers plant cover crops instead, like vetch, rye and clover, to prevent erosion of the topsoil. Cover crops grow quickly, and their roots provide a scaffolding to hold most of the soil in place, even in heavy rain. In this way, cover crops maintain the amount of soil in an area and limit the amount of nutrients that runoff from fields into neighboring waterways. What type of ecosystem service are these cover crops providing? regulating service supporting service cultural service provisioning servicearrow_forwardFires, volcanic eruptions, climate change, and clear-cutting are changes in environmental conditions that lead toarrow_forward
