The graph shows data of plant species richness as a function of time measured in plots that were
dominated by either Alnus (black, solid lines), Salix (yellow, dotted line) or Picea (blue, dashed
line) (Buma et al. 2019). (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.

Traditionally, biomes have been used to describe large geographical regions such as deserts, grasslands, forests, and tundras. The tundra occurs between the taiga and the permanently frozen polar regions while the taiga zone occupies a wide belt between the tundra and the temperate forests on the American and Eurasian continents. The plant and animal populations vary in these two biomes. 4 O Search 1) Review the images of the two biomes, the tundra and the taiga. Notice that while there are about 1,700 kinds of plants there are virtually no tree species in the tundra. What are the limiting factors in preventing the immigration of tree species into the tundra?

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. There would probably be less difference between the core and edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest.arrow_forward
