if fossils are in many different places, but only lived for a short period of time what are they considered

Ameadow ecosystem includes many species of grasses and small shrubs, several herbivores, and a few carnivores. a fungus colonizes the meadow and kills most of its vegetation. what is most likely to happen to the populations of herbivores and carnivores in the ecosystem? a. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will increase because there will be less competition for chemical energy. b. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will remain stable because the fungus cannot infect these organisms. c. the populations of herbivores will decrease because of vegetation loss, but the population of carnivores will remain stable. d. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will decline because less chemical energy will be stored in the ecosystem.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.

Which is not a likely outcome after extensive irrigation of dry farmland? useless, unproductive soil salinization of the soil depletion of groundwater nutrient-rich soil
