Chapter 46, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
When a species is moved to a new location by humans, then such species are termed as the introduced species. These species are moved to different locations for various benefits and by different ways of transport. Sometimes, introduced species become invasive species. Invasive species are those species that spread in an area rapidly and affect the native species.

What interventions/ways can be applied to address the “Fast-pace destruction of forests” as an environmental factor affecting health, to maintain health?
Populations of plants with a uniform distribution are due to:
O a. Toxic allelopathic chemicals produced by each plant.
O b. Effect of sunlight and rainfall on microhabitats.
Heavy predation by herbivores.
O C.
O d. Wind dispersal of seeds.
O e. Pathogenic fungi in the soil.
Examine the situation below. What function/services of the ecosystem is highly depicted in this situation? Justify. For 3-5 sentences only*
One of the wetland ecosystem which is subjected to this degradation and considered as heavy polluted lake in the Philippines Laguna de Bay (LDB) (Framework for Philippine Plant Conservation Strategy and Action Plan retrieved 2018). LDB is the largest lake in the country and amongst the largest in Southeast Asia. It is a significant natural resource, being the catchment of an expansive and environmentally important watershed (Israel 2007). The shorelines of LDB serve as important locations for industrial, commercial and tourism activities in the country. It plays an ecological importance because it serves as spawning areas for fish and a natural protection from floods

- Organisms that damage crop plants are the most costly of introduced species. Weeds, pathogenic microbes, and arthropods that attack crops together account for half of the costs documented by Pimentel and his colleagues. What steps can we—farmers, governments, and all of us as a society—take to minimize the impacts of invasive species on crops?arrow_forwardIn 1876, the US introduced Kudzu to NC to control erosion. Since this time, the vine has taken over and spread at a rate of 1 foot per day, causing the loss of native species. How would Kudzu be most accurately described? O A. As a predator O B. As a non-native species O C. As an alien plant O D. As an invasive speciesarrow_forwardPart 2.Discuss and answer these questions:1.

- Fires (bushfires/wildfires) are a natural occurrence in grassland communities. Discuss why it is an advantage or a disadvantage in the ecosystem, plants and animals.arrow_forwardIn the year 2000, specimens of Caulerpa taxifolia,a green alga used in tropical aquariums, were found off the coast of California. Native to the Indian Ocean, C. taxifolia is known for aggressive growth and an ability to compete with sea grasses.lt is currently on an international list of invasive species. Which of the following best predicts the consequences of the introduction of C. taxifolia to the California coast? nd 2 school Without natural herbivores or competitors,C. taxifolia will grow rapidly and crowd out native species of producers. C. taxifolia will have a hard time establishing itself because it will have to compete against native species of sea grasses, which are better adapted to the environment. C. taxifolia will grow rapidly, leading to an increase in the diversity of producers. Because it is not in the Indian Ocean, its natural environment, C. taxifolia will not be able to grow efficiently The practice of crop rotation uses nitrogen fixation to create fertile fields.…arrow_forwardFour of the following are ways to grow and harvest trees more sustainably. Choose the one that is the exception. Halt clear-cutting on steep slopes. Eliminate logging of old-growth forests. Identify and protect forest areas high in biodiversity.
