The most nutrient-poor soils are found in biomes.

Ameadow ecosystem includes many species of grasses and small shrubs, several herbivores, and a few carnivores. a fungus colonizes the meadow and kills most of its vegetation. what is most likely to happen to the populations of herbivores and carnivores in the ecosystem? a. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will increase because there will be less competition for chemical energy. b. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will remain stable because the fungus cannot infect these organisms. c. the populations of herbivores will decrease because of vegetation loss, but the population of carnivores will remain stable. d. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will decline because less chemical energy will be stored in the ecosystem.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
