Question

in places all over the world, the populations of many species of wildlife have decreased significantly over the past 100 years. many of the species are now classified as threatened or endangered. a team of ecologists is investigating ways to restore populations of wildlife species. how does the concept of anthromes affect any solution that the team might develop? a. anthromes now cover most of earths land, aside from polar regions. b. anthromes have replaced some natural biomes, especially along coastlines. c. anthromes and natural biomes are constantly replacing one another. d. anthromes include national parks and conservation land, where wildlife is protected.

Explanation:

Anthromes are human - modified biomes. Along coastlines, human activities have led to the replacement of natural biomes with anthromes, which impacts wildlife habitats. Option A is an over - generalization as anthromes don't cover most of Earth's land outside polar regions. Option C is incorrect as natural biomes are not constantly replacing anthromes; rather, it's mainly human activities driving changes. Option D is wrong because anthromes are generally human - dominated landscapes and national parks/conservation lands are not typically considered anthromes in the context of human - modified landscapes negatively impacting wildlife.

Answer:

B. Anthromes have replaced some natural biomes, especially along coastlines.
