A. excessive irrigation B. intense fertilization C. overgrazing D. property developmentarrow_forwardA rancher grazes cattle in a forest reserve. The cattle selectively graze grasses, herbs, and small shrubs. After 10 years, the cattle are removed from the forest and the forest begins to change back the way it was before the cattle were introduced. The changes in the forest would be an example of a. a climax community b. a pioneer community c. primary succession d. secondary successionarrow_forward

The weathering and erosion in the area happens deep under the soil so the area looks unaffected B. Less sediment flows into the area because the vegetation soaks up all the water and makes its drier. C .the high amount of vegetation in the area causes more roots to hold the soil in place against weathering. D. The high amount of vegetation in the area causes an increase in oxygen causing stronger more stable soil.arrow_forward1.

(the study began in 1950) A. No. Most forest communities take at least 100 years to reach 75% cover. B. No. According to the graphs, the old field will be at ~50% coverage after 50 years. C. Yes. Unless the area has been disturbed again, it should stay stable after 10% cover. D. Yes. At 40° latitude, over 50% of the old fields were above the stability line on the graph.
