Wildfires are important to many grassland ecosystems because they
naturally replenish the nutrients in the soil. Wiregrass is a type of plant that
helps spread wildfires once they have started. A conservation group is
studying a cleared grassland ecosystem, where wildfires have been
suppressed for several years, and observe that the ecosystem is
experiencing a decline in both biodiversity and available nutrients for
populations. Which of these would be best for the conservation group to
do to help encourage natural wildfires in the ecosystem? *
mow down adult wiregrass plants in other ecosystems and spread the clippings
throughout the targeted ecosystem
collect seeds from healthy wiregrass plants and plant them throughout the targeted
ecosystem
start a fire using fuel-soaked wiregrass in a specific section of the targeted
ecosystem
cut down all other vegetation in the ecosystem and transplant adult wiregrass plants
to take their place

Answer 1

plant more adult wiregrass

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because wiregrass helps to start wildfires naturally which replenishes the soil
