Dissimilarity in plant community composition between 1982 and 1985 was larger than dissimilarity in plant community composition between 1985 and 2000. What does this tell you about the pace of succession in this location?

Your assistant has given you a list of potential plant combinations (Options A, B, C, D, or E) they believe might work. You DO NOT know the NPP of the individual plant species.

- How can you apply the knowledge about disturbance in ecology and biodiversity? Discuss each thoroughly and do not just copy from somewhere, please.arrow_forwardAfter an extensive forest fire, an affected region of the forest shows signs of ecological succession. Place the steps of succession in the correct order. Arrange responses in the correct order to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired position and insert response at that position. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can be moved using the up and down arrow keys or by dragging with a mouse. La comunidad de diversos organismos se acerca a un estado relativamente estable, y se establece una comunidad clímax. | The community of diverse organisms approaches a relatively steady state, and a climax community is established.

- What type of succession is the case study, Surtsey Island, Iceland, in the image (primary or secondary)? How do you know?arrow_forwardCarefully distinguish between deterministic and stochastic models of succession. Use illustrations. Using an example, give an example of how these would differ in predictions of future ecological communities. Which one is supported by most empirical evidence today?arrow_forwardWhich of the scenarios below illustrate(s) a trade off relating to functional diversity and life history traits? Select all that apply A- The C3 photosynthetic pathway is more energy efficient than C4 and CAM, but less water efficient. B-Plants that produce large seeds generally produce very few, while plants that produce small seeds generally produce many of them. C- Indices of species diversity rely both on species richness and species evenness, but not on species relatedness D- Endothermic animals are better able to maintain their preferred body temperature than ectothermic animals, but expend a large amount of metabolic energy to do so. E- Organisms that specialize on a single food source may use that resource more efficiently than generalists, but risk starvation if unable to find their particular food source.arrow_forward
- What management implications arose from Clements’ theory of succession? How hascontemporary ecological theory altered these notions?arrow_forwardAgricultural systems typically represent a continuous early successional environment. You can think of it as a newly emerged island waiting to be colonized. This also brings implications for pest management and the species that can establish. What are the characteristics of early successional environments? Are we talking about primary or secondary succession? What are the characteristics of early successional plants? Which kinds do we expect to see in agricultural systems because of this reason? Based on the biodiversity within agricultural systems, what does this mean for insects and resulting pest management?arrow_forwardWhat is the other component of species diversity besides richness? Briefly describe how two communities of trees might differ in that component.arrow_forward
