The graph shows data of plant species richness as a function of time measured in plots that were
dominated by either Alnus (black, solid lines), Salix (yellow, dotted line) or Picea (blue, dashed
line) (Buma et al. 2019). (FYI: Alnus is alder, Salix is willow, Picea is spruce) Each line describes the
average change of plant species richness through time in those plots. For each of the dominant
species in those plots, determine whether they facilitate, inhibit or have no effect on
species richness in late successional stages.

Ernie notices that the plants in one greenhouses are smaller than the same species in the other greenhouses. Ernie's biology teacher says she has been having a problem recently with growing plants in this particular greenhouse. Ernie's lab group decides to investigate factors such as light levels, temperature, and soil nutrients in the three greenhouses. They find that these are the same for all the rooms. What additional factors would you suggest testing for, and how would each of these factors affect the growth of plants? 20arrow_forwardProfessor Lawrence Walker's research group experimentally examined the successional dynamics of a nitrogen-fixing shrub, tutu (Coriaria arborea) on a volcano in New Zealand. Tutu seedlings were found mostly in areas away from adult tutu shrubs, and only in areas with bare soil. Tutu thickets were not self-replacing. Tutu increased soil fertility by making soils ten times richer in nitrogen than soils without the tree. This enabled the late successional tree, kapuka (Griselinia littoralis), to colonize the habitat and replace tutu. The successional model that most best explains this process is the: facilitation model O inhibition model resistance model disturbance model resilience modelarrow_forward

- If you compare species richness and evenness along the edge versus in the center of a tree farm and then make the same comparison for a rain forest, what would you expect to find? There would probably be a greater difference in richness but less difference in evenness between the tree farm and the rain forest. There would probably be a greater difference in evenness but less difference in richness between the tree farm and the rain forest. There would probably be about the same difference between the core and the edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest. There would probably be more difference between the core and the edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest. There would probably be less difference between the core and edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest.arrow_forwardwhich tree species was most abundant in your unpland community plot? which was most abundadnt in your lowland community plot ?arrow_forwardWhat environmental factors determine the treeline for a location?arrow_forward
