1. bioremediation is using naturally occurring organisms to remove environmental pollution and bioaugmentation is adding bacteria to speed up the degrading of the environmental pollutants

Question: If the trout’s diet consists of 37% mayflies and 63% phytoplankton, calculate the trophic level of the
trout to the nearest tenth.

assuming mayflies trophic level is 2 and phytoplankton is 1

assuming mayflies trophic level is 2 and phytoplankton is 1
(2 x 0.37) + (1 x 0.63) = 1.37
The trout's trophic level is 1.37.

1. What is the primary characteristic of mollisols and in what biome is it found?
2. Name and define 3 different types of savannas.
3. If the population of a keystone species rapidly decreases, what is the effect on the ecosystem? What happens with an indicator species?

1. characterized by a dark surface layer rich in organic matter & high concentrations of calcium & magnesium. Highly organic matter soil found in grasslands
2.Edaphic savannas are caused by soil conditions & are not entirely maintained by fire. Climatic savannas are a result of climatic conditions. Derived Savannas are a result of people clearing forest land for cultivation. Farmers cut down trees, burn them & plant crops in the ashes. Grass then takes over the bare ground (it grows very fast & has deep roots to soak up water.). Annual fires maintain the area as a savanna. The soil is porous with rapid drainage of water. There’s a thin layer of humus (organic plant material) that provides vegetation with nutrients. The predominant vegetation consists of grasses & forbs. Different savannas support different grasses due to disparities in rainfall & soil. Deciduous trees & shrubs are scattered across the open landscape.
3. overall population of ecosystem decrease. the health of the ecosystem decreases

Correct, your turn (also you pretty much just copied and pasted our notesheet for the second question, you could have given more concise answers.)

Is it about 0.34? I may have gotten the formula wrong.
Question:
What are some purposes of having large front paws for a badger in grasslands?
yeah thats correct
