A B Which tree has more value in a forest ecosystem? Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Answer! Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Answer! Both have value, Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Answer! Both have value, but dead trees are extremely valuable to a forest ecosystem because they provide habitat such as den sites, a steady food source of insects, and ultimately fertilize the soil after decay. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

How did an increase in cover habitat change the amount of mice captured by the foxes?

How did an increase in cover habitat change the amount of mice captured by the foxes? The data suggests that the high cover habitat was the most difficult to catch mice. Only 13 mice were captured in the high covered compared to 34 in no cover.
