What are the pros and cons to Clementsian and Gleasonian views of plant communities. List one pro and one con for each with explanations,.
please Describe the data in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Pre-dawn and midday leaf water potential (Ψleaf) for the two species at different dates throughout the year.
Clausen 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?

- Ernie's school has three greenhouses, located in three parts of the school. Ernie notices that the plants in one greenhouses are smaller than the same species in the other greenhouses. Ernie's biology teacher says she has been having a problem recently with growing plants in this particular greenhouse. Ernie's lab group decides to investigate factors such as light levels, temperature, and soil nutrients in the three greenhouses. They find that these are the same for all the rooms. What additional factors would you suggest testing for, and how would each of these factors affect the growth of plants? 20arrow_forwardBased on what you know about tropical forests versus temperateforests, why do you think temperate forest habitats are more suitablefor long-term agriculture, despite the fact that they have a shortergrowing season than tropical forests?arrow_forwardIf 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 ?

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_forward
