Q1. 

Why does the same leaf litter decompose at different rates on the forest floor versus under water in an adjacent forest stream?

**Albuquerque: Temperature and Precipitation**

The graph displays average temperature and precipitation data for Albuquerque, New Mexico. The temperature is represented by a solid line with square markers, while precipitation is shown with a dashed line and triangular markers. 

**Temperature (Temp °C):**
- Y-axis on the left ranges from 0 to 30°C.
- Peaks in July at approximately 27°C.
- Lowest in January and December, around 5°C.

**Precipitation (Precip mm):**
- Y-axis on the right ranges from 0 to 60 mm.
- Peaks in July at about 50 mm.
- Lowest in January, February, April, May, and June, around 10 mm.

**Monthly Trends:**
- From January to February, temperatures remain low (5-10°C) with minimal precipitation (10 mm).
- From March, temperature gradually rises, peaking in July with increased precipitation.
- From August to December, both temperature and precipitation decrease.
