In this chapter, we have reviewed how the puzzle of trees might be addressed by population,markets, political economy, and ethics. Is there room for an analysis or set of solutions to  deforestation that relies on institutions, collective action, and common property theory?How are forests and deforestation a collective action problem? What would an institutionalsolution to forest-cover loss look like? What are the limits of viewing trees as commonproperty?

Write a conclusion using the reading and data of the graph

The study on Global Ecology shows that USA uses 10.3 ha per indiviual but has only 6.7 ha per citizen available. The worlds population is now 7 billion and the globe as a whole has 1.7 ha for each person. Discuss in view of the above scenerio the question; 'Can our current habits of energy and resources use be sustained?'

Which of the following statements is true about the plant-bird seed dispersal mutualisms in Hawaii? For the plants the mutualism is obligate, but for the birds it is a facultative relationship Most of the seed dispersal is performed by non-native bird species All options are true The native bird species that act as seed dispersers have gone extinct

When succession occurs, communities gradually shift to plants species that are: A Smaller and long-lived B) Larger and short-lived C) Larger and long-lived Smaller and short-lived

What is the relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession?         A pioneer species is an invasive species that causes areas to experience primary succession.          There is not a relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession. The pioneer species only occurs in areas of secondary succession.         A pioneer species is important in an area of primary succession because it can grow and thrive in areas where most other species cannot.          A pioneer species only inhabits areas of primary succession.

In some marine habitats in New England, the population density of lobsters has been depleted due to heavy fishing. When this happens, it often follows that the diversity of species in the biological communities is reduced. Based on this observation, how would you characterize lobsters?     a keystone organism     a decomposer     a crustacean     a superior predator     a producer   The composition of a community refers to the     nutrients available in the soil.     type of succession that occurs locally.     sunlight available to drive the energy needed for metabolism.     extent vegetation covers the ground--a desert has low composition.     types of species adapted to living there.   Small fish sometimes swim very close to large predatory fishes such as sharks. There is no risk since the shark does not feed on these smaller fish. The small fish are able to eat the remains of prey such as seals that the shark rips apart when eating.…
