Of all the possible combinations of two woodlots, the combination of Dairy Bush and the Arboretum gives the highest beta (B) diversity. Destroying North Campus Ravine and Brown's Woods would not change gamma (g) diversity across the remaining two woodlots. 1. True 2. False Destroying the Arboretum woodlot would lower gamma (g) diversity. Brown's Woods has the lowest alpha (a) diversity and it is also the most uneven. Doubling the total number of individuals of each tree species in the North Campus Ravine would increase the Shannon Diversity Index for this woodlot significantly.

Using TRUE or FALSE answers, are the following statements CONSISTENT with the
data presented in Table 1 above? (Enter 1 for True, 2 for False).
The alpha (a) diversity
index is the same for both
the Arboretum and Dairy
Bush, but Dairy Bush would
have a lower Shannon
Diversity Index than the
Arboretum.

(Enter 1 for True, 2 for False). The alpha (a) diversity index is the same for both the Arboretum and Dairy Bush, but Dairy Bush would have a lower Shannon Diversity Index than the Arboretum.
Of all the possible
combinations of two
woodlots, the combination
of Dairy Bush and the
Arboretum gives the
highest beta (B) diversity.
Destroying North Campus
Ravine and Brown's Woods
would not change gamma
(g) diversity across the
remaining two woodlots.
1. True
2. False
Destroying the Arboretum
woodlot would lower
gamma (g) diversity.
Brown's Woods has the
lowest alpha (x) diversity
and it is also the most
uneven.
Doubling the total number
of individuals of each tree
species in the North
Campus Ravine would
increase the Shannon
Diversity Index for this
woodlot significantly.
