The question is incomplete because the options are not given. Here are the options.

a. The level of energy available in the ecosystem would increase, which would cause the population of autotrophs to increase.

b. The level of available nutrients in the soil would decrease, which would cause the population of producers to decrease

C. The population of primary consumers would increase because of increased production by autotrophs.

d. The population of primary consumers would increase because of decreased competition from decomposers.

The current answer is option B.

The level of available nutrients in the soil would decrease, which would cause the population of producers to decrease.

Explanation:

This is because when the soil is acidic it will reduce the availability of plants nutrients in the soil and it will result in accumulation of toxic chemicals which can affect the growth of plants.

If nutrients are not available for plants growth which is primary producer, it will result in poor growth, low photosynthesis and hence the production of glucose will be reduced because nutrients is essential for plants growth.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
