Chapter 56.2, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The best action of management that could be employed to reduce the nonnative species’ number that colonize the Mount St. Helens.
Introduction:
The number of species that enter a community depend on many abiotic and biotic factors. Each specie has to pass through various filters in order to become the member of a particular community. At the end, only a few species get the membership of the community. On Mount St. Helens, the community of frogs in two ponds were analyzed and the species diversity of the ponds were observed.
