Which of the following is a stressful environmental condition found in degraded areas of new york city?
a.
the soils are more contaminated, compacted, and disturbed.
b.
there are too many essential organisms in the soil.
c.
surrounding wetlands absorb water too quickly.
d.
brownfields tend to be cooler and drier than other areas.

actually, the answer is A i just took the test :)

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.

for 8 am not sure maybe yes?

for 9 if it is asking if the male is more or less it would be less

hope i even just a little : )
