Question: Farmers plant fruit trees in an area that was once a grassy meadow. Which will most likely happen to the rabbits living in the meadow?
Answer: The size of their population will decrease.
Hypothesis: humans / farmers planting fruit trees in a meadow causes rabbit populations to decrease in that meadow
Supporting facts: sent1: farming decreases animal habitats sent2: a decrease is a kind of change sent3: humans changing an environment causes animal populations to decrease in that environment sent4: as the supply of food in an environment decreases , the population of animals in that environment will decrease sent5: if a habitat is removed then that habitat is destroyed sent6: a rabbit is a kind of animal sent7: some rabbits live in meadows sent8: as a population of organisms increases , the resources used by those organisms will decrease sent9: if a habitat is destroyed then that habitat can not support animals sent10: negative impacts on organisms / species will decrease the population of the organisms / the species sent11: if an organism dies then the population of that organism will decrease sent12: farming is when a human plants crops for food sent13: if the population of an animal decreases then that animal may no longer be found in that place sent14: humans moving in an environment usually causes native species to lose their habitats sent15: humans changing an environment sometimes causes that environment to be destroyed sent16: as a resource required by an organism decreases , the population of that organisms will decrease sent17: fruit trees are a kind of crop sent18: when an animal moves away from an area then the population of that animal decreases in that area sent19: a farmer is a kind of human sent20: if a habitat can no longer support animals then those animals will move to another area sent21: farmers plant fruit trees sent22: killing a living thing decreases the number / population size of that living thing sent23: a habitat can mean an environment sent24: population is a measure of the number of a species in an environment sent25: a meadow is a kind of environment
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] a meadow is a kind of environment [AND] humans changing an environment causes animal populations to decrease in that environment [INFER] int1: humans changing a meadow causes animal populations to decrease in that meadow [BECAUSE] a rabbit is a kind of animal [AND] some rabbits live in meadows [INFER] int2: a rabbit is a kind of animal that may live in a meadow [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] int2 [INFER] int3: humans changing a meadow causes rabbit populations to decrease in that meadow [BECAUSE] a farmer is a kind of human [AND] farmers plant fruit trees [INFER] int4: humans / farmers plant fruit trees [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] fruit trees are a kind of crop [INFER] int5: humans / farmers plant fruit tree crops [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] farming is when a human plants crops for food [INFER] int6: an example of farming is humans / farmers planting fruit trees [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] farming decreases animal habitats [INFER] int7: humans / farmers planting fruit trees decreases animal habitats [BECAUSE] int7 [AND] a decrease is a kind of change [INFER] int8: humans / farmers planting fruit trees changes animal habitats [BECAUSE] int8 [AND] a habitat can mean an environment [INFER] int9: humans / farmers planting fruit trees changes an animals' environemnt [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] int9 [INFER] int10: humans / farmers planting fruit trees in a meadow causes rabbit populations to decrease in that meadow
