Nothofagus dombeyi was the species that showed the highest value of transpiration and is considered a fast-growing pioneer species, while Laureliopsis philippiana had a lower transpiration and is a slow-growing species to spare.

Why? (answer in minimum of 500 words)arrow_forwardThe most plausible hypothesis to explain why species richness is higher in tropical than in temperate regions is thata) tropical regions generally have more available water and higher levels of solar radiation.b) diversity increases as evapotranspiration decreases.c) higher temperatures cause more rapid speciation.d) tropical communities are younger.arrow_forward
- What happens if species with incomplete reproductive barriers come into contact with one another?arrow_forwardWhich of these hypotheses does not explain why increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere could cause a decrease in the productivity of some crops because of changes in climate? A) There could be increases in average winter temperatures that reduce the growth of crops. B) There could be decreases in precipitation in some regions that reduce growth in some crops. C) There could be shifts in the ranges of some important species in the community, such as pollinators, that cause reduction of growth in some crops.arrow_forwardImagine five forest communities, each with one hundred individuals distributed among four different tree species (W, X, Y, and Z).
