- Describe two considerations in conservation preserve design.arrow_forwardAfter an extensive forest fire, an affected region of the forest shows signs of ecological succession. Place the steps of succession in the correct order. Arrange responses in the correct order to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired position and insert response at that position. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can be moved using the up and down arrow keys or by dragging with a mouse. La comunidad de diversos organismos se acerca a un estado relativamente estable, y se establece una comunidad clímax. | The community of diverse organisms approaches a relatively steady state, and a climax community is established.

By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species. D) Site C has more unique species in it than either Site A or Site Barrow_forward
