The table compares the features of two plant species that exist near the shoreline in South Florida.

Tree Species Data Tree Species Shade Provided

Native Low

Exotic High

The nesting sites of sea turtles are more successful when the sites have more sunlight and warmer temperatures. Using the information from the table, predict how the type of tree species at the nesting site would impact the sea turtle population.

If there are more exotic species then the sea turtle population will increase.

If there are fewer native species then the sea turtle population will increase.

If there are fewer exotic species then the sea turtle population will increase.

If there are more native species then the sea turtle population will decrease.

Macey Koch · Answer 1

it looks like the exotic trees reate more shade so with fewer exotic trees there would be more sun shining on the beach

the answer should be:

If there are fewer exotic species then the sea turtle population will increase.
