The graph shows the rate of transpiration (Est) for four plant species. 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. How do these characteristics relate to the transpiration shown on the graph?

What are the pros and cons to Clementsian and Gleasonian views of plant communities. List one pro and one con for each with explanations,.
You are hoping to get an estimate of the number of birch trees in a local park. You have a satellite image of the park, and plan to use quadrat sampling to estimate the number of birch trees in the park. The park is 1000m by 1000m. Describe how you can set up your quadrat and how you would then use the data you collect to estimate the number of trees in the entire park. (Include a sample calculation).

Table 6.2 shows the results of a greenhouse experiment which examined the effects of density on the germination and growth of barley. Plants were grown for two weeks in 10- cm diameter pots kept in identical environmental conditions and watered regularly. At the end of the experiment the plants were cropped by cutting the stems at the soil surface. Based from the given table and graph, discuss the data and the relationship of the two factors (Mean wet biomass of plants (g) and Number of plants that germinated). Then, what is the effect of density to the Mean wet biomass of plants?arrow_forwardClausen and colleagues proposed two hypotheses to explainthis variation within a species: (1) There are genetic differencesbetween populations of plants found at different elevations.(2) The species has developmental flexibility and can assumetall or short growth forms, depending on local abiotic factors.If you had seeds from yarrow plants found at low and highelevations, how would you test these hypotheses?arrow_forward

(FYI: Alnus is alder, Salix is willow, Picea is spruce) Each line describes the average change of plant species richness through time in those plots. For each of the dominant species in those plots, determine whether they facilitate, inhibit or have no effect on species richness in late successional stages.
