Deforestation in the rainforest can lead to localized extinctions of populations of some organisms. Once an area is deforested, which is MOST likely to decrease and result in organisms' extinctions? A. the amount of annual rainfall B. competition between consumers C. the energy available to producers D. diversity of the resources in the habitat

D. diversity of the resources in the habitat.

Explanation:

The deforestation brings in lot of problem, much more than it brings in benefits for the humans on the long run. Once a forest is totally destroyed, the habitat suddenly loses the majority of its resources, especially for the organisms that are consumers. The soil too gets rapidly degraded, so the majority of the producers too find it very hard and takes them long time to reestablish themselves.

Having the diversity of resources dwindle, the organisms suffer badly. All living creates need resources in order to survive, so once they don't have them they die out. This unfortunately happens all over the world, with the tropical rainforest habitats being the most endangered, especially in the Amazon, Congo, and Southeast Asia.

ecological efficiency: % of usable energy transferred as

biomass from one trophic level to the next typical is 10% efficient (90% of

energy is lost),is diagramed as the pyramid of energy flow. then osprey eagle

are tertiary consumer and the shrimp are primary consumer, so to balance

mass of shrimp (1/0.1) / 0.1 = 100 kg
