(a) What effects would a drier-than average summer have on a pond
ecosystem?

(b) How is this different from the effects
resulting from draining the pond?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(A) A dry summer would deprive the pond of its natural cycle, therefore slowly drying out the pond limits vegetation growth, limits holes for the creatures to live in, and limit food supplies for all creatures.

(B) Draining a pond is done intentionally to clean or restock a pond.

Some of the effects  a drier summer would have on a pond are ;

  • Limitation of vegetation
  • Reduces food supply in the pond
  • Destruction of habitats of organisms ( drying up of water holes )

The effects of Draining a pond is different because it is a controlled activity

A drier-than average summer indicates a partial or full drought which is an uncontrolled activity, and this will cause water bodies like ponds to gradually lose water over sometime and this will lead to certain limitations in the vegetation growth and the availability of food and habitats for organisms. While

Draining is a controlled activity which is carried for the purpose of pond cleanup without actually interrupting the life cycle of the ecosystem.

Hence we can conclude that the effects of a drier-than average summer is different from draining a pond as mentioned above.
