1. What are 3 major hot and dry deserts?
2. Explain the 2 parts of acid deposition.
3. Name 1 difference between primary and secondary succession.

1. Sahara Mojave Great Victorian
2. Wet and dry wet is when acidic water runs over the ground and affect plant life. Dry is when dry particles are blown everywhere
3. Primary succession is on barren earth and secondary is when the soil still remains.

Yes, according to http://journals.plos.org/plosone/articl ... ne.0001017 this study. Not exactly sure why, though...

think about it. If the habitat fragments then there is more edge so the possibility of an edgedwelling species is higher.

I feel like it's because smaller habitats have larger perimeter to area ratios, so they naturally have more edges.
