Restoration Ecology starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Restoration Ecology.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A river restoration project aims to increase fish populations. What is one action that could help achieve this goal?
A wetland was drained for agriculture but is now being restored. What is one likely first step in the restoration process?
Describe one way that climate change can affect restoration ecology projects.
Describe the difference between rehabilitation and restoration in ecology.
A river restoration project aims to increase fish populations. What is one action that could help achieve this goal?
A wetland was drained for agriculture but is now being restored. What is one likely first step in the restoration process?
A grassland ecosystem has been heavily invaded by a non-native plant species, leading to a decline in native biodiversity. Describe a step-by-step restoration plan that addresses both the removal of the invasive species and the recovery of native plant communities.
A mining site is being restored. The soil is found to be highly acidic and lacking in nutrients. What is one method that could be used to improve soil conditions for plant growth?
(1) Adding lime and organic matter
(2) Increasing water runoff
(3) Planting only non-native species
(4) Removing all soil from the site
Which of the following best describes the term 'reference ecosystem' in restoration ecology?
(1) An ecosystem that has been completely destroyed
(2) An ecosystem used as a model for restoration
(3) An artificial ecosystem
(4) An ecosystem with only one species
Which of the following is a biotic factor that restoration ecologists must consider?
(1) Soil pH
(2) Rainfall
(3) Plant species
(4) Temperature
Which of the following is a long-term benefit of successful restoration ecology projects?
(1) Decreased biodiversity
(2) Improved ecosystem services
(3) Increased pollution
(4) Habitat loss
Which of the following is a measure of restoration success?
(1) Increased invasive species
(2) Improved soil quality
(3) Decreased native plant cover
(4) Reduced biodiversity
Fill in the blank: __________ is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time after a disturbance.
Fill in the blank: __________ is the process of restoring the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of a river or stream.

Fill in the blank: The process of restoring a mined area to a natural or economically usable state is called __________.
True or False: All restoration projects are successful in the long term.
True or False: In some cases, passive restoration (allowing nature to recover on its own) is more effective than active intervention.
True or False: Restoration ecology always returns an ecosystem to its exact original state.
True or False: Restoration ecology can help combat climate change.
