Question

Maria is studying fungi in a forest. She makes some observations and takes some notes on a variety of fungi found on the forest floor. If Maria returned to the forest a year later and discovered that all the fungi were gone, what would she most likely observe as a result of this? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Without fungi in the forest, dead and rotting materials would not be broken down, which would cause dead plants and animals to pile up in the forest.

Answer 2

Without fungi in the forest, dead and rotting materials would not be broken down. Dead plants and animals would be piled up in the forest.

That's the exact answer. I promise!

hope this helps! :)
