I suppose questio is talking about grass land animals. If it is so then yes the population in surrounding areas will decrease because individulas will start migrating from surrounding areas towards the freshly cleared land.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Getting my points ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. so its b?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll let u know if u were right in a couple of minutes.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I'll reccomend you to cross check with others also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes please \(\color{green}{\huge\ddot\smile}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You were wrong. Luckily i changed my answer to C because i read it in my notes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks anyways!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

oh this means ! The the animals already residing the burnt forest area migrated towards surrounding one !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Yes it should be C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, when the forest where the animals lived is destroyed they will migrate to the nearest forest (if they didn't get burned or something) and that would lead to an increase in population in the new forest.@bbbco123
