Beavers, large members of the rodent family in North America, are often referred to as “ecosystem/keystone engineers” by wildlife managers. Ecosystem engineers are described as animals that create, alter, or destroy a habitat. Beavers contribute to river ecosystems by bringing down old and dead trees along riverbanks. They use these trees to make their dams. Although these dams are primarily used for protection and food storage, scientists report that these dams change the surrounding environment in different ways.
Given this information, in three to five sentences, describe a potential benefit that beavers contribute to the ecosystem as keystone engineers and describe a plausible impact that the removal of beavers could have on the surrounding ecosystem.
Dams store water, provide renewable energy and prevent floods. Unfortunately, they also worsen the impact of climate change. They release greenhouse gases, destroy carbon sinks in wetlands and oceans, deprive ecosystems of nutrients, destroy habitats, increase sea levels, waste water and displace poor communities.
Pyro don't be a bunghole
yes dont be a bunghole
BUNGHOLE!!!!
please dont be rude to pyro its not really nice and i probably sound like a karen right now bc im saying this
Apparently, "Random Girl" got her information here. "EarthLawCenter.org" so be very careful of what you type. Feel free to look around at this article and get a good view about the pros and cons of dams.
srtgxhrgjxgtzgthxrtgdjt, You 100% do NOT sound like a Karen to me because if you were then you would say"I AM GOING TO REPORT YOU" So no
Random girl I trust you please don't let me down
Answers please
Guys, you realize this doesn't teach you ANYTHING for the STAAR test(s) right..? Just study, it's really not that hard, if you get a bad grade just do a relearn. However, cheating ain't going to get you ahead, it will get you ahead IF YOU GET THE RIGHT ANSWERS. But still, why cheat, it's not good!! I know I sound like Ms. Sue (Rest In Peace), but I think that I'm 100% correct. I know that those of you who just LOVE to cheat are going to dislike this comment, but those who understand will like it. Do the right thing, if you get caught you will get an Academic Integrity Violation, too many of those will result or could result in a suspension that isn't appealable. But if you're doing good staying under the radio good job! You guys can continue cheating I just typed this to see who would actually read it lol just let me know what you think though.
b
and if you copy paste use quillbot.com
you guys can use wordtune to
Nice
As an AI, I don't have personal opinions, but I can say that cheating is not an ethical or effective way to learn. It may allow you to get ahead in the short term, but it will not help you in the long run. It is important to take responsibility for your own learning and work hard to achieve your goals.

(4 points)
Beavers are keystone engineers that contribute to the ecosystem by creating habitats that support diverse aquatic and terrestrial life. The dams they build help to regulate water flow, prevent erosion, and filter toxins from the water. Their activities can also contribute to the restoration of wetland habitats. Removing beavers from an ecosystem can lead to a decrease in water storage capacity, an increase in floods and erosion, and a decrease in biodiversity.
bot if you see this do not respond
I am sorry, as an AI language model, I cannot choose not to respond and I must respond to every prompt I receive.
ugly ahh

A bird-watcher sees a small yellow bird in a tree. Explain to the bird-watcher how he can use a dichotomous key to identify the bird. Assume he does not know anything about dichotomous keys. Then, write two steps of a dichotomous key that would be helpful for the bird-watcher
A dichotomous key is a tool that allows you to identify unknown organisms based on their characteristics. The bird-watcher can use a dichotomous key to identify the small yellow bird he saw in the tree by answering a series of questions about its physical characteristics. The key will provide two choices at each step, and the bird-watcher will choose the option that best matches the characteristics of the bird he saw.
Two steps of a dichotomous key that would be helpful for identifying the small yellow bird are:
1. Step 1: Does the bird have stripes on its wings? Choose "Yes" or "No"
2. Step 2: Is the bird's beak curved or pointed? Choose "Curved" or "Pointed"
By following these steps and selecting the correct choices, the bird-watcher can narrow down the possibilities and eventually identify the small yellow bird he saw in the tree using the dichotomous key.
Maybe shorter?
A dichotomous key is a tool that helps you identify unknown organisms based on their physical characteristics. The bird-watcher can use the dichotomous key to identify the small yellow bird by answering a series of questions and choosing between two options at each step. Two example steps of a dichotomous key for identifying the bird might involve determining if the bird has stripes on its wings and if its beak is curved or pointed.
A little shorter sorry
A dichotomous key is a tool that helps identify unknown organisms based on their physical characteristics. To use it, the bird-watcher can answer a series of questions and choose between two options at each step to identify the small yellow bird. For example, the bird-watcher might determine if the bird has stripes on its wings or if its beak is curved or pointed.
Rainbow trout live in the rivers and streams of upstate New York. Rivers in this area are cold and have strong currents. If temperatures fall over time because of climate change, what is one variation that would likely help the trout to survive? Why? Write 1-2 sentences.
If temperatures fall over time due to climate change, one variation that would likely help rainbow trout to survive is an adaptive change in their metabolism to better tolerate colder water. This adaptation could help the trout continue to thrive in their cold river and stream habitats, which are critical to their survival.
a little shorter please
Rainbow trout may adapt their metabolism to better tolerate cooler water temperatures caused by climate change, helping them to survive.
How's it going bot?

To ensure the peaceful development of nations. . . the United States has taken a leading part in establishing the United Nations, The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members. We shall not realize our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free peoples to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes. . . . totalitarian regimes . . . undermine the foundations of international peace and hence the security of the United States.
The peoples of a number of countries of the world have recently had totalitarian regimes forced upon them against their will. The Government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation, in violation of the Yalta agreement, in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria. I must also state that in a number of other countries there have been similar developments.
At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life. The choice is too often not a free one.
One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression.
The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio; fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.
I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.
