C___1. The management of forests is known as forestry, silviculture, and forest

management. Forest ecology is the scientific study of the interrelated patterns,
processes, flora, fauna and ecosystems in forests.

B __2. Food are made up of producers, consumers, and decomposers. Plants

are normally the major producers in a food chain because they take energy
from the sun and convert it into a form usable by other creatures.

A___4. The energy is stored as starches, proteins, or other vital
components. The efficiency with which green plants transform and store
solar energy from the sun is relatively high.

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

B___5. Decomposers help return (recycle) nutrients and minerals to the

ecosystem. Decomposers are organisms, like bacteria, fungi, and some
insects, that help break down dead plant and animal material.

b.2nd statement is true while the 1st statement is false

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

D___ 6. . All plants and animals need minerals to survive, and wildlife obtain
minerals from soil. Plants and decomposers are an important part of any
food web, but are also important in another natural cycle, the hydrologic
cycle.

B____ 7. Plants get the minerals that occur as a gas, such as carbon in
carbon dioxide, through their stems. Most of the minerals needed by plants
occur either as a gas in the atmosphere or as a mineral in the soil.

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

C____ 8. The minerals may be available in the soil as a result of natural

processes such as erosion or through the activity of special soil bacteria.
Plants can also absorb minerals through their roots.

b.2nd statement is true while the 1st statement is false

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

B____ 9. As the forest matures, a plant community appears that is replaced

as long as major climate changes do not occur. As the trees grow larger,
they start to shade out even more plant life growing on the ground.

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

C____ 10. Forest is a large area of land covered with trees or other woody
vegetation. Coniferous forests have cones instead of seeds and are called
gymnosperm.

D___ 11. Broad leaved forests is shade loving trees can grow in the ground layers
as canopy overlap. Evergreen forest have large leaves of various shapes and have
several types.

C___ 12. Thorn forests are found in regions with a balanced amount of seasonal
rainfall. Thorn forest have long and fibrous roots to reach water at great depths.

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

A___13. Mangrove forests are able to grow in a mix and saline and fresh water, in
muddy areas. Reduce loss of water some species have small leaves and some
have waxy leaves.

b.2nd statement is true while the 1st statement is false

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

B___ 14. The Earth's water enters the Lithosphere through evaporation from bodies of
water and from ground surfaces. Plants and animals also add water vapor to the air by
transpiration.

a.1st statement is true while t 2nd statement is false

b.2nd statement is true while the 1st statement is false

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

A ___15. The hydrologic cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the
ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses to form rain.

b.2nd statement is true while the 1st statement is false

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

C____16. Ground water is the water found underground in the rocks and spaces in soil, sand and
rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks called
aquifers.

b.2nd statement is true while the 1st statement is false

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

D____ 17. River discharge is the water flowing through a river channel. This is the total
volume of water flowing through a channel at any given point and is measured in cubic
metres per hour (cumecs)

b.2nd statement is true while the 1st statement is false

c.both statement are true

d. both statement is false

D____18. Impermeable rocks ad soils (such as sandy soils) absorb water easily, so
surface run-off is rare. Permeable rock and soils (such as clay soils) are more closely
packed. Rainwater can’t infiltrate, so water reaches the river more quickly.

A____19. Antecedent rainfall is rain that has already happened. It can mean that the
ground has become unsaturated.

C___20. Soil is transported from one place to another either by wind or by water. Forests, by
checking the velocity of wind and by reducing surface run off have a great influence on the
stability of soil.
