- CER SCENARIO #1 This ecosystem is being affected by the development of a neighborhood. Acres are being cleared for building homes and roads. The people who have already moved in are complaining about the foxes that have been going through their yards and have even tried to catch small cats and dogs as prey. It was decided that the foxes would be trapped and relocated far away from the new neighborhood. PROMPT: WRITE A CLAIM STATEMENT ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THIS ECOSYSTEM WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE FOXES. CLAIM: EVIDENCE: REASONING:arrow_forwardWhat will be the factors that will support an Eco city that is self-sustaining and self-regulating?What is the importance of Environmental impact Assessment for The sustainable development of every community?arrow_forward(A) The above figure indicates how much biologically productive land is needed to support different activities (e.g. 'carbon' is land needed to offset carbon emissions from energy production; 'cropland' is land needed to grow crops for food). What Goes it say about the sustainability of our lifestyle? Explain. (B) The world's ecosystems provide many valuable services, that we all benefit from. Yet, these services are often undervalued and taken for granted. Why? For full credit, provide an example with at least one specific ecosystem service. (C) Humans are impacting ecosystems (and their services) in many ways, often negatively. Throughout this course we've discussed some simple actions that can be taken by individuals to help mitigate our impact on the environment. List one action and specify how it can help.arrow_forward
- Unit B - Rainforests are being clear-cut in order to make room for more profitable crops that can be used as biofuels. In Brazil, a monoculture consisting of fields of soya beans is being planted, replacing the native rainforest ecosystem that often consists of thousands of species. Unit B - Compare the previous rainforest ecosystem and the new monoculture ecosystem with respect to biodiversity and population size. Your response should include · an explanation of biotic limiting factors an explanation of abiotic limiting factors a discussion of the availability of habitats and nichesarrow_forwardUrban forests, green roofs, parks, and other green spaces can improve environmental conditions for city dwellers in a number of ways. (g) In addition to improving air quality and reducing energy usage in cities, increasing the amount of vegetation can decrease urban runoff. Describe one way increasing the amount of vegetation in cities can lead to decreased runoff. (h) Describe one cultural benefit that may result from increasing the amount of vegetation in cities.arrow_forwardExplain the term environmental sustainability?arrow_forward
- Do you think we should attempt to quantify and assign market values to ecosystem services? Why or why not? What consequences might this have?arrow_forwardA given ecosystem has the following amounts of energy available at each trophic level: Primary producers: 4,000 gC/m2/day; Primary consumers: 480 gC/m2/day; Secondary consumers: 72 gC/m2/day; Tertiary consumers: 24 gC/m2/day. Does this ecosystem follow Lindeman's Law for ecological efficiency? No, the average efficiency is 20% O Yes, the average efficiency is 10% O No, the average efficiency is 10% O Yes, the average efficiency is 20%arrow_forwardA family travels from New York City to Costa Rica three times a year for a vacation. The family would like to purchase some forested land in the Catskills, keeping the trees intact as an offset to the carbon dioxide they produce travelling each year. How much forest must they purchase? Use the following assumptions to measure the carbon offset provided by this intact forest. • The biomass of the forest increases at an annual rate of 2.8 × 105 kg/ha. • The forest biomass is 45% carbon by mass. • There are four people in the family. • 0.2 kg of CO2 is produced each mile per person on the flight. • The round-trip distance is 4,500 miles. • There are 2.47 acres in one hectare. 1. Calculate the mass of carbon, in kilograms, that is accumulated and stored in 1.0 ha of this forest in one year. 2. Calculate the mass of carbon, in kilograms, that is emitted by the family as a result of their round-trip flights to Costa Rica each year. 3. Calculate the number of acres of forest that must be…arrow_forward
