A few questions on ecology?

First of all, what is the relationship existing between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria? Is it parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, or facilitation?

Second, a pine forest floor would be a fine-grained environment for which of the following: nematodes, toads, herbaceous plants, insects, or bears?

Fire suppression by humans…
(a) will always result in an increase in the # of species in a biome
(b) can change a species composition with communities
(c) is necessary for the protection of endangered species
(d) will result in a sustainable production of increased amount of wood for human use.
All the choices for the last question sound like they’re false but one of them’s true. I don’t think it’s a or d though

Thanks
