Textbook Question
Chapter 41.2, Problem 4CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Rising atmospheric CO2 levels lead to ocean acidification (see Figure 2.24) and global warming, both of which can reduce krill abundance. Predict how a drop in krill abundance might affect other organisms in the food web shown in Figure 41.14. Which organisms are particularly at risk? Explain.

Consider a trophiccascade with 4 levels: 1) predatory fish that consume planktivorous fish, 2) planktivorous fish that consume zooplankton,3) herbivorous zoplankton that consume phytoplankton, and 4) phytoplankton.
True or False: A reduction in predatory fish will increase the level of phytoplankton.

B) Humans have altered the climate in Florida to support large snakes.

- OBSERVATIONS • Sea otters feed significantly on sea urchins, often keeping urchin abundance 'in check'. • Sea urchins feed heavily on kelp, decimating kelp forests when urchin abundance is high. • Kelp forests protect the shoreline from coastal erosion by buffering wave action. • Orcas have been observed feeding on sea otters in the kelp forests of western Alaska.

The more important the factors are for the larvae, the thicker the lines. Suppose changes from question 1 take place. Draw a new figure and redefine the thickness of the lines and new factor interactions. This is from question 1 : A proposal is made to deepen the entrance and main channel of an estuary. What do you suppose will happen to the salt marshes that surround the channel? What do you predict will happen to the productivity of the estuary? Deeper channels would probably change the mixing of the fresh and saltwater and lead to increased salinity and changes in the salt wedges in the channel. This would probably negatively impact the plants on the edges of the channel, as they would have to deal with higher salt levels than they are adapted to. The strain that would be put on the plants (like cordgrasses) in the marshes, would most likely lead to a…arrow_forwardUsing the African Savannah food web below, describe what would happen to various animals and plants if Impala were hunted to extinction?
