Identify the correct statement:
1. | Eutrophic lakes contain fewer nutrients than oligotrophic lakes. |
2. | Xerarch succession is a primary succession that occurs in water bodies. |
3. | Most ecologists believe that most communities achieve stable, unchanging climax vegetation. |
4. | A mature ecosystem has greater species richness, greater biomass, and less net productivity than a younger stage of succession. |
Assertion (A): | Mammals with smaller body size find thermoregulation more challenging than those with larger body size. |
