Question

it is anticipated that construction of a new bridge will increase sediment in the water. place the following events on how sediment increase will affect the ecosystem:
species that rely on sav are affected
reduced water clarity
sav growth declines due to lower light

Explanation:

Step1: Sediment increase effect

Sediment increase first causes reduced water clarity.

Step2: Impact on SAV growth

Reduced water clarity leads to lower light, so SAV growth declines.

Step3: Effect on dependent species

SAV growth decline affects species that rely on SAV.

Answer:

1. Reduced water clarity
2. SAV growth declines due to lower light
3. Species that rely on SAV are affected
