Question

modeling human activities
we are going to investigate what happens to the resources of ecosystems when we change the people and events.

1. first, use your cards to collect points from events for one game.
2. what do you observe about the resources of ecosystems?

wetland draining
clearcutting a forest
damming a river
urban sprawl
harbor construction
restricted use sanctuary

Explanation:

Wetland draining reduces water - related resources and habitat. Clearcutting a forest depletes timber resources and damages biodiversity. Damming a river changes water flow and impacts aquatic resources. Urban sprawl uses land resources and can fragment habitats. Harbor construction modifies coastal resources. A restricted - use sanctuary helps conserve resources by limiting human impact.

Answer:

Wetland Draining: Loss of wetland resources and habitat.
Clearcutting a Forest: Depletion of timber and damage to biodiversity.
Damming a River: Altered water flow and impact on aquatic resources.
Urban Sprawl: Use of land and habitat fragmentation.
Harbor Construction: Modification of coastal resources.
Restricted Use Sanctuary: Conservation of resources.
