A beach community was recently negatively affected by a hurricane. Community leaders are looking for a potential solution to prevent damage from future hurricanes. Below is a list of their concerns as well as how important each issue is to the community. Community Concerns Concern Level Wave action Low Beachfront development Low Nearshore aquaculture Low Health of nearby coral reef Moderate Roosting bird species High Storm surge threat High Which of the following solutions would best address the issues of greatest concern in the community? Construction of a seawall Construction of a seawall A Planting mangrove forests Planting mangrove forests B Construction of an offshore breakwater Construction of an offshore breakwater C Adding large sand dunes

B, planting mangrove forests

Explanation:

Healthy mangrove forests provide homes for roosting bird species, protect coastal communities from storm surges, and provide a nursery habitat for juvenile coral reef organisms.

A is incorrect because the construction of a seawall would prevent the threat of storm surge but would not provide a habitat for roosting bird species nor help the health of the coral reef.

C is incorrect because the construction of an offshore breakwater would prevent the threat of storm surge but would not provide a habitat for roosting bird species. Its construction would also likely damage the nearby coral reef.

D is incorrect because creating large sand dunes could initially protect from storm surges, but this can also cause erosion. Sand dunes would not provide habitat for roosting bird species nor would they help to protect the health of the coral reef.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
