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?

please Describe the data in Figure 2.

Intraspecific competition is a competition between members of the same species and is commonly observed in crop plants. 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.
Explain why knowledge of the effects in density is important to the crop farmer.

(a) To estimate white-tailed deer populations in four tracts of the Carolinian forest in southern Ontario, 185 white-tailed deer were captured and tagged with bands. After three weeks, 147 deer were recaptured and 26 had bands. Estimate the population size and show your calculations. (b) To further understand the impact of the deer populations on the woody plants, you decide to study the number of birch trees in an area 100 ha x 100 ha. Using a quadrate measuring 2 ha x 2 ha, you obtain the following results from four random counts: 16, 32, 27, and 11. Calculate the average population density and estimate the total population size of birch trees in the area. (c) Justify the decision to use the mark-recapture method for estimating the deer population size and the quadrat sampling method for the birch tree population.arrow_forward
- If only one half of the flora in the world existed in 2110 (perhaps due to deforestation), what do you predict the atmospheric carbon level would be ? How would you change the simulation to reflect this? What is the relationship between increased carbon in the ocean and increased carbon in the soil? How else might carbon be transferred to soil? Using the data generated by the simulation, determine the mathematical relationship between the percentage increase in fossil fuel consumption and the increase in atmospheric carbon. Is the relationship linear?arrow_forwardHow are oak trees distributed within a forest? Provide a summary of the spatial distribution of this specie.

There would probably be a greater difference in richness but less difference in evenness between the tree farm and the rain forest. There would probably be a greater difference in evenness but less difference in richness between the tree farm and the rain forest. There would probably be about the same difference between the core and the edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest. There would probably be more difference between the core and the edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest.
