Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Figure 55.6, the biomass decreases along the edges of the forest fragments, indicating a negative edge effect. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because there is no evidence for an increase in biomass along the edges. Option C is partly true, but it only mentions species diversity and not biomass. Option D is incorrect because the data in the figure clearly show that fragmentation affects biomass.
