Consider two forests: one is an undisturbed old-growth forest, while the other has recently experienced a high intensity wildfire. In which forest are more species likely to experience exponential growth, and why?

A. the burned forest because the disturbance has removed competitors and made more resources available
B. the old growth forest because of stable conditions that would favor exponential growth of all species in the forest
C. the old growth forest because each of the species is well established and can produce many offspring
D. exponential growth is equally probable in old-growth and burned forests

Answer:

A. the burned forest because the disturbance has removed competitors and made more resources available

Explanation:

An exponential growth refers to a rapid growth rate within a specific time limit.

Competition for limited resources by different plant species occur within an ecosystem, a form of relationship that limits the growth of all the parties involves.

When a disturbance regime within a forest removes some of the plant species within it, other species grows rapidly as a result of more availability of resources (than usual) due to reduced competition.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Exponential growth refers to the increase of the organism, substance, compound, data etc over a given period. It is called geometric growth or delay.

The correct answer is:

Option A. The burned forest because the disturbance has removed competitors and made more resources available.

This can be explained as:

  • In the second case of forest, wildfire has impacted the flora and the fauna of the system.

  • The competition for the various plant and animal resources and the interrelation in this forest system will be changed.

  • During the destruction in the regiment of the system, the forest will adapt to the best and it will remove some plant or animal species from itself.

  • The removal of the competitors from the system will boost the growth of certain plants or animals rapidly as compared to already existing resources.

Therefore exponential growth will be seen in the forest damaged by the fire.
