その場で採点される選択問題 5 問と、解説つきの記述問題 2 問。すべて「D4.2 Stability and change (Ecosystems)」からの出題です。
Which of the following activities contributes most significantly to an individual's ecological footprint in a developed country?
In an open ocean pelagic ecosystem, sustained overfishing of top predatory piscivorous fish leads to an increase in zooplanktivorous forage fish, causing a decline in large herbivorous zooplankton and a subsequent unchecked bloom of phytoplankton. What ecological phenomenon is demonstrated here?
Which statement correctly defines an ecological tipping point in the context of sustainability and change?
An enclosed forest ecosystem experiences a prolonged drought. Large canopy trees undergo severe water stress, leading to widespread mortality. The loss of canopy cover increases forest floor temperatures and desiccates litter, rendering the remaining vegetation susceptible to intense wildfires that convert the area into a stable dry savanna. What does this transition illustrate?
Explain how a positive feedback loop involving boreal forest wildfire frequency and climate warming can lead to an ecological tipping point.
まず自分で答えを書いてから、解説と照らし合わせましょう。
Ecosystems can maintain dynamic equilibrium, but severe human disturbances can trigger rapid state shifts.
a) Outline what is meant by a tipping point in an ecosystem.
b) Explain the role of positive feedback loops in driving an ecosystem past an ecological tipping point, using the example of Arctic sea ice loss.
c) Distinguish between the stability of an ecosystem with high species richness versus one with low species richness when subjected to environmental disturbance.
