Chapter 46.5, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The human-driven alterations in natural habitat due to which certain species are no more supportive in that habitat are termed as habitat destruction. Organisms that used to live in that habitat get displaced or are unable to survive there due to habitat destruction.

Examples of ecological restoration include all of the following EXCEPT:
- building levees to minimize the water that enters a floodplain.
- eliminating invasive species.
- replanting a forest.
- removing a dam.
- using periodic, controlled burns to promote native prairie plants in an abandoned farm field.
When a large, contiguous area of habitat is reduced in area and divided into smaller, more scattered
patches, the process is called
habitat elimination
habitat exploitation
resource partitioning
habitat fragmentation
resource loss
Which of the following statements about biotic potential is TRUE?
Biotic potential of an organism is determined by how they interact with the environment.
Increase in food supply increases the biotic potential of an organism.
If an organism has higher rate of reproduction, it has higher biotic potential.
Small organisms have low biotic potential because of their size.
