(8.11C) Some scientists studying aquatic plants notice that flooding often leads to a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis among aquatic plants. Flooding causes more sediment to be suspended in the water. The increased sediment concentration decreases the amount of light that reaches the plants. Why does a decreased rate of photosynthesis lead to a decrease in a plant population?
|
|
Less water is available for absorption.
|
|
|
Less tissue is available for plant growth.
|
|
|
Less energy is available for reproduction.
|
|
|
Less soil is available for leave development.
