Anna studied the effects of deforestation on bird populations in a rainforest. She counted the number of birds in an area before and after a section of the forest was cleared, using a bird listening app to help identify and count bird calls.
Based on the bar graph titled “Effects of Habitat Destruction on Bird Populations”, what happened to the number of bird calls counted after deforestation?
Using the left bar graph, describe how bird calls changed from before to after deforestation. Include the approximate values shown.
Based on the information in the reading, explain why deforestation causes a reduction in bird populations. Use only the information provided in the document.
Construct an argument explaining how human activities – such as deforestation and pollution – impact biodiversity in rainforest ecosystems.
Include a clear claim, supporting evidence from the graphs, and reasoning that connects the evidence to your claim.
According to the “Effects of Pollution on Bird Species Diversity” graph, what happened to the number of species counted after pollution?
Using BOTH bar graphs, describe one similarity in the trends shown. What does this suggest about the impact of human activities on rainforest bird species?
