A conceptual model representing the role, interaction, reaction, and density of essential ecosystem components is shown below. Examine the model and the relationships between the major players (i.e., predator, prey, producer). The structure's most important role is played by these major players. It's also worth noting that nutrition has been included in the model. This is the abiotic component that has a direct or indirect impact on the interaction.
Question: Based on this scenario, what is the most significant role of sea otters in the marine community? Why it’s important?

- All biotic and abiotic factors are interrelated. In nature you will find that if one factor is changed or removed, it impacts the availability of other resources within the system. Knowing this, give an example of what might happen given the following situations. In the areas with the open space place either an A for abiotic or B for biotic to identify what the object is.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following sentences is NOT true? Select one: Compared with other land-based food production systems, fisheries and aquaculture have a relatively small overall carbon footprint. Global fish production from capture and culture operations contributed up to 1.5% to the world’s CO2 emissions. CO2 emissions by marine and inland fishing vessels were about 0.5% of the total global emissions. Being a minor contributor in global terms, fisheries and aquaculture have no opportunities to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases.arrow_forwardA conceptual model representing the role, interaction, reaction, and density of essential ecosystem components is shown below.

- Construct a biomass pyramid for the following hypothetical scenario. Be sure to include all four trophic levels in the pyramid, and provide the total biomass of living things found at each level. Be sure to include units, and label each trophic level. The shape of your pyramid should be based on the biomass of each trophic level. Levels with more biomass should be drawn wider, and levels with less biomass should be drawn thinner. Note that your biomass pyramid may or may not be a true pyramid. Scenario: Hickory Run Nature Reserve is a 150-acre conservation area filled with plants and animals native to the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. A baseline study was done to determine the total biomass of producers and consumers living on the reserve. Baseline data will be compared to data collected in future years to determine trends in species accumulation or loss. This comparison is important because the region surrounding the reserve is experiencing a high rate of human development…arrow_forwardN Cylcle: Match the steps of the Nitrogen Cycle you would find beneficial based on the professions/goals listed below Farmer wishes to increase vegetable [Choose] production [Choose ] Farmer wishes to decrease runoff of nitrate containing fertilizers in irrigation water denitrification nitrogen fixation and nitrification sewage plant operator wishing to decrease frequeny of HAB's from treated sewage dumped into Sacramento River [ Choose ] water quality consultant working with public who are using many nitrate containing fertilizers; consultant wishes to increase water quality and clarity in Lake Tahoe, [ Choose ]arrow_forwardCompare the two microhabitats based on the Net Primary Production (NPP), Community Respiration (CR), and Gross Primary Product (GPP).Reference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdgGQ5BpK-0arrow_forward
- In not more than 200 words or 5 sentences, answer or explain the following situation. In a seagrass ecosystem, nutrients restrict primary production under low nutrient (oligotrophic) conditions, while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient (eutrophic) conditions. Discuss how this happens with respect to the three primary producers (seagrass, macroalgae, phytoplankton) as the condition changes from oligotrophic to eutrophic.arrow_forwardLook at the following temperature and precipitation graph for a city around the world. Using this information, write down which biome each city has in it. Be careful to read the numbers along The numbers along the Y-axis carefully. For precipitation, you will need to look at figure 2.2, which has annual precipitation numbers in centimeters. Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2. Answer choices A. Desert B. Tropical rain forest C. Temperate grassland D. Tundraarrow_forwardUsing the information in the table above, evaluate the relative risk for poor outside air quality for the following pairs of locations in terms of the pollutant sources.

Consider the following in your recommendation (human disturbance, patch size, disturbance frequency, global climate change/el nino)arrow_forwardFor each 1°C increase in temperature, plants need 2 mm additional precipitation to maintain a healthy water balance; i.e. PET = 2 ×T (°C). For an ecosystem with a mean monthly temperature of 30°C, receiving 40 mm/ month precipitation, which of the following statements is most likely true? There is a water surplus and AET = PET. There is a water surplus and AET < PET. O There is a water deficit and AET = PET.
