- Tree Rings Reveal Droughts El Malpais National Monument, in west central New Mexico, has pockets of vegetation that have been surrounded by lava fields for about 3,000 years, so they have escaped wildfires, grazing animals, agricultural activity, and logging. Henri Grissino-Mayer generated a 2,129-year annual precipitation record using tree ring data from living and dead trees in this park (FIGURE 27.22). FIGURE 27.22 Annual precipitation record for 2,129 years, inferred from compiled tree ring data in El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico. Data were averaged over 10-year intervals; the graph correlates with other indicators of rainfall collected in all parts of North America. PDSI, Palmer Drought Severity Index: 0, normal rainfall; increasing numbers mean increasing excess of rainfall; decreasing numbers mean increasing severity of drought. A severe drougt contributed to a series of catastrophic dust storms that turned the midwestern United States into a "dust bowl" between 1933 and 1939. One of the worst population catastrophes ever recorded occurred in Mesoamerica between 1519 and a.d. 1600, when around 22 million people native to the region died.

- Through succession, a field becomes a forest as hardwood trees become the dominant species in the ecosystem. Grasses are no longer able to compete as well in the forested environment. grasses → shrubs → softwood trees → hardwood trees Which is most likely the limiting factor that inhibits the growth of the grasses in the forest? a slow rates of decomposition on the forest floor b low levels of sunlight reaching the forest floor c thin layers of topsoil on the forest floor d low levels of humidity near the forest floorarrow_forwardA B C D1 Forest floor refers to the growth that is found directly on the ground in the forest. This includes grasses and mosses and other low lying plants.2 Soil holds the nutrients and moisture required for all plant growth.3 Sub-canopy refers to the layer of plant organisms that are directly under the canopy. It includes smaller trees and larger shrubs. 4 Canopy describes the highest layer of a forest ecosystem. It includes the large trees that provide shade and shelter.
