An area in a forest was cleared to build a road. which two of the following will be likely effects on the ecosystem? a the number of trees will increase in the forest. b the new species will evolve to survive in the deforested land. c animals will migrate to other regions in search of food. d animals will instantly adapt to their new surroundings.

C is most likely because when the forest is cleared, animals usually will not adapt instantly, the trees will have less room therefor probably will not grow more, and evolution takes a very long time, therefor the species might die out before they can evolve.

Wetlands form where water and land meet. a lake with a wetland fringe can fill in with decayed plant and animal material to become a wet meadow. a pond can fill in to become a bog or fen. sediment can fill in a river marsh to become a swamp.flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.
