Biggest drawback to using chemicals to control pests

development of genetic resistance

magnification in the food chain

Ideal pesticide would

would kill only the target pest

would allow development of genetic resistance

IPM Integrated Pest Management requires

more expert knowledge about individual pest crop situations

a species specific chemical sex attractant

sustainable agriculture

treats long term quality of the soil as top priority

makes dense fish populations more vulnerable to disease

makes dense fish populations less vulnerable to disease

can only be harvested by aquaman

What is the best explanation why the maximum sustainable yield for ocean fisheries has been exceeded?

too many fish of reproductive age are harvested

too many fish have been caught by fish eating birds

too many maring fish farms have been created

increased awareness of the risks of pesticides

increased awareness of Earth Day

increased awareness of the thinning of ozone layer

Which is most likely to have a negative and persistant impact on the ecosystem?

Lindane, a synthetic chlorinated hydrocarbon

Rotenone, a toxic plant derivative

Insecticidal soap, a surfectant that kills through suffocation

Bacillus thuringiensis, a soil organism that kills insect larvae

slash and burn creates excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, this is caused by

excess erosion and exposed soil

two major effects of overgrazing

desertification and salinization

increases primary productivity and desertification

increased fire potential and erosion

Lack of genetic diversity in a food crop will

increase susceptability to a plant disease

decrease susceptability to a plant disease

have no effect on plant disease

increased new strains of crops with higher yields

increases the application of organic fertilizers on rice

increased awareness of food labels

uses hydroponics instead of land

What would be best remediation for soil salinization

add large amounts of water to leach out salts

leave it alone the salt will leach on its own

what is a threat of using a biological (living) pest control?

it attacks not only its intended target but also benefical species

It mutates and is no longer effective

pesticided kill the biological pest control

more costly to use than pesticides

DDT might be found in tissues in the U.S. even though it has been banned, why?

other countries who still use DDT export produce to the U.S.

it is naturally produced by plants

it is carried to other parts of the world in the air

What is not a result of deforestation

release of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere

decreased soil fertility from erosion

all of these are ecological services that forest provide except which one

release carbon in the atmosphere

clearcutting will lead to

increase in concentration of nitrates in streams

increase in average depth of the topsoil

help release minerals locked in organisms

occur without interferance of humans

be prescribed to reduce the chance of serious fires

Sustainable management of rangeland

controls the number of grazing animals and the duration of the grazing

controls vegetation with herbicided

uses only GMO grazing animals that eat less to survive

clumps the animals together to maximize numbers

Malnutrition is caused by

Being able to use food in a different way

Drinking too much water, which flushes out the nutrients.
