← Nature & AnimalsWhich benefit to the environment stems from enhanced plant growth stemming associated grasshopper gut microbiomes?
A)Increased carbon sequestration in grasslands✓
B)Reduced methane production by cattle
C)Enhanced pollination of flowering plants
D)Decreased parasite prevalence in ecosystems
💡 Explanation
Increased plant growth caused by *nutrient cycling* due to microbiomes within the grasshopper gut leads to increased photosynthetic rates. Therefore, carbon sequestration increases, rather than affecting distant processes like pollination because the direct effect is on plant carbon uptake.
