Global climate change is expected to result in drastic changes in precipitation patterns. This might mean that,due to the rain shadow effect, the windward sides of mountains might be wetter, while the leeward sides ofmountains might be drier. Using what you know about plant taxonomy and ecological relationships,propose a justified, ecological hypothesis on how plant community composition would change on each sideof the mountain. Your answer should contain two parts: The hypothesis and the ecological justificationaddressing the bold points above. Based on your hypothesis from the previous question, make a graph showing theexpected results assuming your data support your hypothesis. I'm looking for aperfect graph here, based on what you learned earlier this semester.You do not need to make this graph in Excel. You may upload it as a picture, Word,or PDF.

Doug Schemske is a biologist who studies plants from around the world. Doug and his research team carry out experiments with the plant species Mouse-ear Cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana. They like this species because it is easy to grow in both the lab and field. Arabidopsis is very small and lives for just one year. It grows across most of the globe and in a wide range of latitudes and climates. Arabidopsis is also able to pollinate itself and produce many seeds, making it possible for researchers to grow many individuals to use in their experiments. Doug chose Arabidopsis populations in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean for his research on local adaptation because those two locations have very different climates. The populations may have adapted to have the highest survival and reproduction based on the climate of their home location. To deal with sudden freezes and cold winters in Scandinavia, plants may have evolved freeze tolerance traits, which produces chemicals that act like…
, please look thoughtfully at the image below of a 4000 year-old bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of eastern California. Then, please answer the following questions: How might such old trees provide information about the region's climate? Does this area appear hospitable to plant growth? What (in the image) supports your response? What environmental factors might account for this (referring to that which you included in your answer to the previous question)?
Refer to figure 23.15 and the chapter content to answer the followingquestions.1. Review the Survey the Landscape figure in the chapter introduction,and then add flowering plants, vegetative parts, reproductive parts,and flowers to the Pull It Together concept map. Connect vegetativeparts and reproductive parts to the concept map in at least two wayseach. 2. Add the terms soil, source, sink, pressure flow, and transpiration tothe concept map. 3. Write a phrase connecting water to sugar.

Are there examples of mutualism and parasitism (predator/prey relationship) within these plants/animals. List all that are applied.
Stomata are pores on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gaseous exchange. The numbers below shows the density of stomata on the leaf surfaces of three species of plants. Based on this information, which statement is incorrect? Stomata Density: Elodea (upper epidermis) = 0, (lower epidermis) = 0, Water Lily (upper) = 420, (lower) = 0, Black Walnut (upper) = 0, (lower) = 465 a) Since Elodea does not have any stomata, it does not carry out photosynthesis. b) In Elodea’s aquatic environment, stomata are not used to control gas exchange. c) Since black walnut trees thrive on land, stomata are located on lower surface to decrease the amount of water lost in the heat of the sun. d) Since water lilies live on the surface of water, transpiration occurs from the upper epidermis because that is where it is in contact with air.
Glacier Bay in Alaska is a fjord whose lowlands were covered by glacial ice until around 230 years ago. As the glacier retreated, it left behind sediment that was exposed to plant colonization; remarkably (and fortunately for generations of ecologists), the location of the tip of the retreating glacier has been frequently documented since the late 1700s. This means that scientists have been able to develop a detailed timeline of the changes in the plant community, or . in Glacier Bay over time. O None of these choices is correct. competitive exclusion niche diversification niche divergence O ecological succession
What would the observations for this be?
Human activities and natural phenomena can drive plant species to extinction. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service maintains lists of threatened and endangered plant species. What are some examples of threatened or endangered species in your area? What are the most important threats to those species? What are the potential consequences of a plant species extinction? What steps should we take to save threatened and endangered plants?
If New York experiences drought conditions during April, May, and June 2022, how would you expect local tree rings to differ compared to rings made in 2021 (which had normal rainfall)? Early wood cells would be larger in 2022, creating thicker rings Late wood cells would be larger in 2022, creating thicker rings Early wood cells would be smaller in 2022, creating thinner rings Late wood cells would be smaller in 2022, creating thinner rings Rings would be similar both years as water amount has little effect during spring and early summer
Which of the following is true about Liebig's Law of the Minimum? * The growth of a plant is affected by one limiting factor at one time. The growth of a plant is affected by multiple limiting factors at one time. The growth of a plant is not affected by multiple limiting factors at one time. The growth of the plant is not affected by one limiting factor at one time. According the Shelford's Law of Tolerance, the organisms wide environmental factor tolerance limit show * narrow distribution with low population size narrow distribution with high population size wide distribution high populations size wide distribution with low population size If you are having a fever, you are in your * zone of optimal tolerance zone of intolerance zone of physiological stress
