Which of the following correctly describes the disruption of an ecosystem service by an anthropogenic activity? A) Provisioning services are disrupted by increased combustion of fossil fuels, which leads to an increase in air pollution. Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are forecasting this summer's Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone or "dead zone"—an area of low to no oxygen that can kill fish and other marine life—to be approximately 7,829 square miles, or roughly the size of Massachusetts. The annual prediction is based on United States Geological Survey river flow and nutrient data. The 2019 forecast is close to the record size of 8,776 square miles set in 2017 and larger
than the five-year average measured size of 5,770 square miles. A. The increased size of the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico is forecasted to benefit the fishing industry in
the United States. Recommended textbook solutionsHuman Resource Management15th EditionJohn David Jackson, Patricia Meglich, Robert Mathis, Sean Valentine 249 solutions
