1 answer

Here is the correct matching of human activities with their effects on populations:

  1. Removing trees from a forested area for the purpose of farming, building, or recreation
    Effect: Habitat destruction, which can lead to decreased biodiversity and displacement of native species.

  2. Fertilizers get washed into bodies of water causing algae to grow quickly
    Effect: Eutrophication, leading to oxygen depletion in water bodies and a decline in aquatic life.

  3. Purposeful or accidental introduction of non-native species into an area
    Effect: Disruption of local ecosystems, competition with native species, and potential extinction of native populations.

  4. Protecting and preserving the environment
    Effect: Conservation of biodiversity, restoration of habitats, and stabilization of ecosystem functions.
