Q55: Mangrove trees and seagrasses along coastal areas near coral reefs are known to trap sediment (silt) before it makes its way to and clouds the water over reefs. Development of such coastal areas near coral reefs often results in the destruction of these plants. What is the likely consequence of this vegetation loss for the corals? Briefly explain.
WhAt IF? given the latitudinal differences in sunlightintensity (see Figure 52.3), how might you expect thecarrying capacity of plant species found at the equator to compare with that of plant species found at highlatitudes?
WHAT IF? Consider a grassland with five trophic levels:grasses, mice, snakes, raccoons, and bobcats. If youreleased additional bobcats into the grassland, howwould grass biomass change if the bottom-up modelapplied? If the top-down model applied
