Question

the prey population decreases when which of the following increases for the prey population? temperature precipitation community environmental resistance

Explanation:

Environmental resistance refers to factors that limit population growth. When environmental resistance increases for the prey population (such as limited food, space, or increased predation - in this case, wolves are predators of moose), it leads to a decrease in the prey (moose) population. Temperature and precipitation changes don't directly and consistently cause a prey population decrease in the context of predator - prey dynamics shown here. Community is a broad term and not the specific factor.

Answer:

environmental resistance
