Question

58. A species that has large effects on other species in the community mostly because of its high abundance and biomass is called a(n)_ A) keystone species C) trophic facilitator D) strong interactor B) dominant species 59. Following a disturbance to a site, every species that arrives at the site survives. Once an individual plant establishes itself, it is not replaced until it dies. Upon its death, the plant may be replaced by any other plant in the community. As a result, over time, short-lived species are replaced by long-lived species. Which model of succession best explains this pattern? A) Facilitation B) Inhibition C) Suppression D) Tolerance 60. Which of the following correctly represents the relationship between net primary production (NPP) and gross primary production (GPP)? A. NPP + biosynthesis GPP B. NPP GPP + chemosynthesis C. NPP GPP+ respiration D. NPP=GPP-respiration 61. The highest rates of NPP on land are found in thbecause of their high rates of precipitation and A. tropics; more direct sunlight B. temperate forests; hot summers C. D. temperate forests; long growing seasons grasslands; hot summers 62. An ice storm damages most, but not all, of the trees in an area of forest. Which type of succession best describes the reestablishment of the community after the storm? A) Climax B) Primary C) Secondary D) Intermediate

Explanation / Answer

58. DOMINANT SPECIES.

59. INHIBITION MODEL

60. D. To get NPP we should subtract respiration from GPP.
