In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve on the Kaibab Plateau in northern Arizona.

Between 1907 and 1923, cattle grazing was greatly reduced, mule deer hunting was eliminated, and predators were killed. Over 800 cougars, 20 wolves (most had already been killed in the 1800s), and 7000 coyotes were trapped or shot. In response, the mule deer herd began to increase: By 1915, deer numbers were estimated at 25,000; 50,000 by 1920; and 100,000 by 1923.
The initial population of Kaibab deer in 1906 was about 4000. In an area of about 800,000 acres, this works out to an average density of one deer per 200 acres. What was the density in 1923?

Answer:

The average density of deer in 1923 was 1 deer per 8 acres

Explanation:

Given -

In 1923, the population of deer rose to 100,000

The density of any species is equal to total population divided by total area of the land in which this population is residing.

d= \frac{P}{A}

Where d represents the density

P represents the population and

A represents the area of land

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

d = \frac{100,000}{800,000} \\d= \frac{1}{8}

Thus, the average density of deer in 1923 was 1 deer per 8 acres

Answer:

\frac{1}{8}

Explanation:

Given -

The number of deer in year 1923 was 100,000

The area of the reserved area is 800,000 acres

The density of any organism in a given area is the number of organism per unit area.

Or

D = \frac{P}{A}

Where, D is the density of deer

P is the total population of deer

and A is the ares of reserved park

Substituting the given values, we get -

\frac{100,000}{800,000} \\= \frac{1}{8}

Answer: B. reforestation

Reforestation is the process of growing plants and trees in an area on large scale in order to create land a forest reserve which can allow the growth and abundance of floral and faunal species in future. Reforestation is the biodiversity restoration method that the biologist should use to meet their goals like : recreation of habitats for wildlife in a particular area, help against climate change as plants are the fixers of atmospheric carbon utilize this for photosynthesis and prevents the raising of atmospheric temperature.

Water Cycle 1. How is water stored on Earth during the water cycle? 2. Water moves into the atmosphere through ____________ and
Naily [24]
Water Cycle:


1. It is stored in the ground.

2. Evaporation, transportation, precipitation

3. Runoff comes straight from precipitation. Infiltration is from the ground while run off never went in the ground.

4. It will usually end up in the same place, the ocean

5. Water levels rise, temperatures rise, CO2 in atmosphere increases


Carbon Cycle:

1. Carbon is important because it is one of the basic building blocks of life.

2. Trees, animals, grass, decomposition, combustion, fossil fuels

3. Carbon enters as photosynthesis.

4. Carbon enters water to the soil decomposition. Aquatic plants have plenty of water to work with, so their main challenge is getting enough sunlight and air.

6. By breathing in the oxygen from plants.

7. Two ways carbon return from animals into water is through cellular respiration and decomposition.

8. Combustion is when we dig up the fossil fuel and burn it, then what is left goes into the air starting the cycle again.

9. Deforestation reduces the capacity of forests to be carbon sinks.


Nitrogen Cycle:

1. Nitrogen is important because it helps us grow crops, and it produces grass for animal.

2. It comes from lightning and is named nitrogen fixation.

3. Ammonification and then transitions into nitrification and then to assimilation.


Phosphorus Cycle:

1. It forms part of life sustaining molecules like DNA and RNA.

2. Phosphorus is never found in the atmosphere.

Organisms that eat cows do not obtain a great deal of energy from the cows. In fact, they get less energy than the cows obtain f
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The cow uses all but stores ten percent of what they eat.

Explanation:

For example, a plant produces 100 percent energy. The plant needs to use the energy for survival.

When a cow eats the plant, it only gains 10 percent of the energy.

Then, say a wolf eats the cow.

The wolf only gets 1 percent of the energy that is produced by the plant.
