Question 2 You are studying an herbaceous perennial plant that lives in a grassland habitat. The population size of this herbaceous perennial remained stable at its carrying capacity for roughly six consecutive years while precipitation and soil nitrogen were abundant. In the seventh year, the grassland experienced a severe drought, whereby precipitation and soil nitrogen significantly limited the growth of this herbaceous perennial. What is MOST likely to occur to this herbaceous perennial population? O Since it has remained stable at its carrying capacity for multiple years, it will withstand the drought and continue to persist at the population size that was present before the drought occurred. Due to reduced precipitation and soil nitrogen, this herbaceous perennial population will overshoot its carrying capacity and experience a die-off. This herbaceous perennial will overshoot its carrying capacity by producing more seedlings in order to prevent the population from being wiped out by the drought. The carrying capacity for this herbaceous perennial will remain the same and the plant will lie dormant until sufficient rainfall and soil nitrogen return.

Question 2
You are studying an herbaceous perennial plant that lives in a grassland
habitat. The population size of this herbaceous perennial remained stable at
its carrying capacity for roughly six consecutive years while precipitation
and soil nitrogen were abundant. In the seventh year, the grassland
experienced a severe drought, whereby precipitation and soil nitrogen
significantly limited the growth of this herbaceous perennial. What is MOST
likely to occur to this herbaceous perennial population?
Since it has remained stable at its carrying capacity for multiple years, it will
withstand the drought and continue to persist at the population size that was
present before the drought occurred.
Due to reduced precipitation and soil nitrogen, this herbaceous perennial
population will overshoot its carrying capacity and experience a die-off.
This herbaceous perennial will overshoot its carrying capacity by producing more
seedlings in order to prevent the population from being wiped out by the drought.
The carrying capacity for this herbaceous perennial will remain the same and the
plant will lie dormant until sufficient rainfall and soil nitrogen return.
