Can you help me with these questions please What disturbance has selected for tree species that maintain most of their biomass underground? Carnivory Tornado Hail Fire Flooding According to the area effect hypothesis - Primary producer populations typically are stable over generations Secondary consumers limit the density of primary consumer populations A small stream has fewer species compared to stream larger in size Dominant species removal increases the total number of species Dominant species removal decreases the total number of species
Explanation / Answer
24) The fire is the most specific disturbance for the trees that maintain most of their biomass underground. The ground fire is very hot. The biomass increases the temperature.
25) According to the area effect hypothesis "Dominant species removal increases the total number of species". As competition with dominant species excludes many species, they decrease the diversity.
