By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species.

- In a temperate grassland system area of North America, vegetation has been destroyed by fire. What will happen to the net primary productivity and the local ecosystem when rains return in the next season? a The grasses will grow back, but the herbivores that lived there will not return, as they would have found new land to live on. Therefore, the net primary productivity would decrease. b The grasses will not grow back, therefore the herbivores that lived there will not return. Thus, the net primary productivity would decrease. c The grasses will grow back and the herbivores that lived there will return. The net primary productivity should also be similar to the previous season. d The grasses will grow back and the herbivores that lived there will return. The net primary productivity would be less than the previous season.arrow_forwarda This food web shows the flow of energy through a desert ecosystem Which correctly describes a relationship shown on this food web ?
