The meta-analysis results in this figure show that forest management:
A. significantly increased the number of lichen species but significantly
reduced the number of plant species.
B. significantly reduced the number of species for both birds and fungi.
C. significantly increased the number of carabid and lichen species.
D. significantly increased the number of plant species but significantly
reduced the number of bryophyte species. - ans-D. significantly
increased the number of plant species but significantly reduced
the number of bryophyte species.
Assuming the objective is to maximize the chance of success while
minimizing the economic costs, which woodland caribou herd might get
top priority for protection and restoration?
A. A La Peche (ALP)
B. East Athabasca River (ESAR)
C. West Athabasca River (WSAR)
D. Slave Lake (SL) - ans-A. A La Peche (ALP)
Embracing evidence-based conservation would mean that:
A. all future conservation interventions would be implemented as a
controlled, replicated, and randomized experiment.
B. conservation decisions would be based on the accumulated evidence
from similar efforts in the past.
C. conservation decisions would be based on the accumulated evidence
from similar efforts in the past.
,D. None of the above - ans-B. conservation decisions would be
based on the accumulated evidence from similar efforts in the
past.
Systematic review:
A. means conducting a thorough search for all relevant data and
quantitatively synthesizing those data using meta-analysis.
B. can reveal that some previously underused intervention is in fact highly
effective.
C. is rigorously performed in a repeatable manner.
D. All of the above - ans-D. All of the above
The controversial suggestion to practice triage in conservation could mean
"giving up" if:
A. the level of threat is high and the probability of long-term persistence
or recovery is high.
B. the level of threat is low and the probability of long-term persistence or
recovery is high.
C. the level of threat is high and the probability of long-term persistence
or recovery is low.
D. None of the above - ans-C. the level of threat is high and the
probability of long-term persistence or recovery is low.
The active removal of pollutants from the environment is called:
A. restoration.
B. remediation.
C. rehabilitation.
D. reintroduction. - ans-B. remediation.
What is remediation? - ans-Remediation is the active removal of
pollutants from soil or water.
, What is restoration? - ans-Restoration is the science and practice of
assisting the recovery of degraded or damaged ecosystems. A
restoration project may or may not include the active removal of
pollutants from the environment.
What is rehabilitation? - ans-Rehabilitation involves treating sick or
injured individuals and then releasing them back into the wild.
What is reintroduction? - ans-Reintroduction is the reestablishment
of a locally extinct plant or animal population.
According to the figure below, restoration is most likely to occur
spontaneously and without extensive human intervention in areas with:
A. low productivity and high stress.
B. moderate productivity and moderate stress.
C. high productivity and low stress.
D. none of the above conditions. - ans-B. moderate productivity and
moderate stress.
Active intervention is likely needed to restore areas of high productivity
and low stress because:
A. such conditions could favor the rapid growth of invasive species.
B. there may be few seeds of native plant species present in such areas.
C. these conditions foster a higher rate of erosion.
D. None of the above - ans-A. such conditions could favor the rapid growth
of invasive species
A restoration project may seek to:
A. recreate historical conditions.
B. create habitat for particular species of conservation concern.
C. promote particular ecosystem functions.
