A virgin forest in Germany has 4 species of large trees with the following proportions of each: spruce, 0.345; pine, 0.305; beech, 0.21; oak, 0.14. Find the index of diversity H.
On average, about how many bird species werepresent in this forest plot before fragmentation? Howmany were present after fragmentation?
Imagine that you were trying to set up some protected areas to save alpine meadow communities. What may determine the number of species maintained in each meadow in light of what you know about island biogeography? Would you expect the species compsotion to change in your meadows parks over time and why? This relates to the equillibrium theory of island biogeography.
Hypothetical scenario: In a vast area of a land-locked town, two distinct forest formations can be found – forest over limestone formation a lowland tropical forest. Researchers did an area-random sampling composed of 25 plots measuring 20mx20m for each of the two forest formations. Do you think the two forest formations have the same diversity index values and species richness? Why or why not?
Based on indexes such as Shannon diversity, is a community of higherspecies richness always more diverse than a community of lower speciesrichness? Explain
Why was certain species' density more accurately estimated, and why may some have approached the actual density sooner than others (with a smaller sample size)?
South Carolina occurs in the central hardwoods forest region. True or False
Another ecologist reported a diversity index value of 1.511 in a different community nearby the one you studied. This community is _ diverse than the one you calculated. Please see the attached image to get a better grasp of the question. How to Calculate Biodiversity and Ecology College Biology 2 Advanced Concepts Background Information In the Shannon index, p is the proportion (n/N) of individuals of one particular species found (n) divided by the total number of individuals found (N), ln is the natural log, Σ is the sum of the calculations, and s is the number of species... Species Evenness Species evenness takes into account the number of species and the relative abundance of species in a community. Several indices have been proposed. Two of the commonly used measures of evenness are the Shannon index (H) and the Simpson index (D). Question 2: What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community? What is the species evenness for this community?
On average, about how many bird species were present in this forest plot before fragmentation? How many were present after fragmentation?
The table shown below represents the number of species growing in an area that was logged using clear-cutting 45 years ago in Temagami, Ontario. Data was collected periodically over 45 years. a.) describe the changes occurring in vegetation type and species diversity over the 45 years b.) what does the pattern of change tell you about what is happening in this area? c.) Explain how the data supports your conculsion.
Which community would be expected to have the highest species richness? Group of answer choices A community that inhabits a small geographic area near the poles. A community that inhabits a small geographic area near the equator. A community that inhabits a large geographic area area near the poles. A community that inhabits a large geographic area near the equator.
