Question: The figure below shows the relative abundance (y axis) of shrubs in an ecosystem in the years following a fire (x axis). The shrubs in this ecosystem fall into two functional groups: fire recruiters and fire persisters. If fire frequency increased significantly in this ecosystem, which group would be benefited? Choose one of the option below A- Both functional groups would benefit equally B- Fire persister species C- Fire recruiter species

A rain forest habitat is located in an equatorial area with a warm, wet climate. Nearby is a savanna, where the climate is equally warm but much drier. Species diversity is much higher in the rain forest. Which rain forest habitat characteristic most likely explains this difference? O More disturbances, leading to rapid species turnover O More complex habitat structure, enabling greater food availability O More complex habitat structure, enabling greater niche specialization O Fewer disturbances, leading to rapid population growth of a few species O Fewer open spaces, leading to inability of organisms to leave the habitat

Despite the intensity of the fire, some soils remained. Total biomass, species richness, and net productivity were reduced significantly after the initial disturbance. There have not been any more fires since. Twenty years after the fire, there are medium-sized trees and bushes growing, as well as ferns and flowering plants. The forest is in the middle, or intermediate, stage of succession. How has the current stage of succession affected total biomass, species richness, and net productivity of the ecosystem? O Total biomass remained the same, species richness decreased, net productivity remained the same O Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net productivity decreased O Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net…

In a particular case of secondary succession, a species of legume increases soil nitrogen levels, which increases the likelihood that other plant species will establish themselves in the area. The successional mechanism at work here is O equilibrium facilitation O immigration O inhibition
The following statements are true except a. Founder-controlled communities are those in which there are species that has theability to invade gaps and competitors that can hold the gaps against all comersduring their lifetimeb. Dominance-controlled communities are those in which some species arecompetitively superior to others so that an initial colonizer of a patch cannotnecessarily maintain its presence therec. Primary successions occur in habitats where no seeds or spores remain from theprevious occupants of the site; all colonization must be from outside patchd. Secondary successions occur when existing communities are disturbed but someat least of their seeds and so on remain.
