Why do small islands that are distant from a mainland tend to have fewer plant species than large islands that are close to a mainland? Small islands support smaller plant populations that are more prone to extinction. Small islands may have fewer types of plant habitats than large islands. Distant islands are colonized more often by non‑native plants that outcompete native plants. Small islands are more often round‑shaped which gives them a higher ratio of edge habitat for plants. Distant islands are harder to get to and require specialized seed dispersal strategies.

Hey there

Your answer should be:

Distant islands are harder to get to and require specialized seed dispersal strategies.

It makes the most sense.

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.

a few examples of ethical concerns involving genetically engineering of humans include

-privacy of genetically tested people

- potential side effects

-long term effects
