According to the DNR, prior to European settlement, more than 18 million acres of prairie covered the state of Minnesota. With its fertile soil and nutritious grasses, prairies became the basis for an agricultural empire in the state. How does the The Minnesota Biological Survey (1987-2017) and the resulting map aid in your understanding of current species diversity in the state?

Respuesta :

B) The map presents a visual representation of the reduction of native prairie from 18 million to 250 thousand acres, which therefore represents a huge decline in biodiversity.

Question:

According to the DNR, prior to European settlement, more than 18 million acres of prairie covered the state of Minnesota. With its fertile soil and nutritious grasses, prairies became the basis for an agricultural empire in the state. How does the The Minnesota Biological Survey (1987-2017) and the resulting map aid in your understanding of current species diversity in the state? A) The map shows the change from native prairie to agricultural lands. Although land use has changed, it does not represent a change in biodiversity. B) The map presents a visual representation of the reduction of native prairie from 18 million to 250 thousand acres, which therefore represents a huge decline in biodiversity. C) The map presents a visual representation of the reduction in native prairie. It also shows the other habitats throughout the state, representing little change in the state's biodiversity. D) The map is a visual representation, yellow to red, of the change in land use. Because land use has changed from native prairie to agricultural land, the species have changed in name but not number.
