Alnus Salix Picea 100 80 Time since glaciation (years) 17 40 60 120 138 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.

Tundra Enlarge Image Taiga A biome is large regional area of similar communities characterized by a dominant plant type and vegetative structure. 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?
