E.arrow_forwardIn a fragmented rainforest, researchers notice a change in plant species composition near the edges compared to the interior. What might be causing this shift? Group of answer choices: A. Lower temperatures at the edges supporting cold-tolerant plant species B. Increased light and wind exposure at the edges favoring the growth of sun-loving and wind-dispersed plant species C. Higher soil moisture at the edges leading to the proliferation of water-demanding plant species D.
