Ecosystems Tropical Rainforest

Tropical rainforests sustain Earth's richest biodiversity despite nutrient-poor soils

0

Why do tropical rainforests maintain such high biodiversity despite having nutrient-poor soils?

Because the soil is rich in nutrients that support diverse plant life Because tropical rainforests experience long dry seasons that limit competition Because most nutrients are stored in living plants and recycled rapidly within the ecosystem

Ecosystems Wetlands

Wetlands act as nature’s water purifiers and flood protectors, not just soggy wastelands

0

What is a primary ecological function of wetlands that challenges the misconception of them as useless lands?

They are primarily dry lands with occasional flooding and minimal ecological impact. They filter excess nutrients from water, improving water quality and supporting biodiversity. They are barren areas that do not support plant or animal life due to constant flooding.

Ecosystems Wetlands

Wetlands quietly filter water and shelter more species than many forests combined

0

What key adaptation allows wetland plants to survive in oxygen-poor soils, and how does this adaptation benefit the ecosystem?

Wetland plants avoid waterlogged soils by growing only on dry patches, which limits their role in nutrient filtration. Wetland plants have roots adapted to waterlogged, anoxic soils, enabling them to thrive and filter excess nutrients, improving water quality. Wetland plants survive by producing oxygen in the soil, which is a common trait in all terrestrial plants.

Ecosystems Wetlands

Wetlands act as natural water purifiers, filtering nutrients that would otherwise pollute rivers and lakes

0

What is a primary ecological function of wetlands that distinguishes them from other ecosystems?

They are dry areas with minimal water influence. They filter excess nutrients from water, improving water quality. They primarily serve as agricultural land due to fertile soil.

Ecosystems Chalk Grassland

Chalk grasslands harbor more plant species per square meter than tropical rainforests

1

What is the primary reason chalk grasslands support such high biodiversity compared to other grasslands?

The thin, nutrient-poor alkaline soils limit dominant species, allowing many plants to coexist. The soils are rich in nutrients, which supports a wide variety of plants. Chalk grasslands are regularly fertilized to encourage plant diversity.

Ecosystems Wetlands

Wetlands are nature’s battlegrounds where water and land fiercely compete, shaping unique ecosystems.

0

What is a key reason wetlands support high biodiversity compared to other ecosystems?

Wetlands have more sunlight than other ecosystems, which increases biodiversity. Their unique waterlogged, oxygen-poor soils create specialized habitats that support diverse plant and animal life. Wetlands are dry areas that occasionally flood, which does not affect biodiversity.

Ecosystems Chaparral Ecosystem

Chaparral ecosystems thrive with fire-adapted shrubs in Mediterranean climates of California and Baja California

0

How do high-intensity crown fires influence the chaparral ecosystem?

They permanently destroy the chaparral ecosystem, preventing plant regrowth. They have no significant impact on the chaparral ecosystem's plant community. They help clear old vegetation and stimulate new growth, maintaining ecosystem health.

Ecosystems Chalk Grassland

Chalk grasslands host a remarkable diversity of specialized plants and insects on nutrient-poor soils

0

What ecological factor primarily allows chalk grasslands to support a high diversity of specialized plant species?

High nutrient levels in the soil promote rapid growth of many plant species. The thin, nutrient-poor alkaline soils limit dominant species, allowing diverse plants to coexist. Frequent flooding creates varied habitats that increase plant diversity.

Ecosystems Wetlands

Wetlands serve as vital biodiversity hotspots and natural water purifiers in aquatic-terrestrial transitions

0

How do wetlands contribute to improving water quality in their ecosystems?

By removing excess nutrients such as nitrates and phosphorus through plant uptake By increasing oxygen levels in the water through rapid water flow By preventing all water from entering the soil to keep it dry
