In the last paragraph of the chapter, we suggest taking a gardener’s approach—working with natural processes and having a desire to understand—in all of our interactions with the natural world. Describe how this approach could be applied to a current issue concerning human modification of nature. Do you agree that it might be helpful to “think like a gardener,” or do you see disadvantages of this attitude as well?

- The Philippines has long been facing different problems in the sector of agriculture. Cite two real-life scenarios/situations where you can see or observe the impacts of (1) abiotic and (1) biotic factors on crop production in the country.

They have come out half an hour ago, with all caution, when the sun was peeking over the peaks. Little by little they have gained confidence; lying in the most comical postures they have been nibbling, only to end up chasing each other openly over the fresh grass that grows before the black hole of the cave. Suddenly the five foxes at the same time rush towards their fort. Almost at the same moment I smell a growing buzzing behind my head, like that produced by a flock of pigeons flying low through an oak grove. First I see a huge shadow, exactly in front of the peephole of my observatory. A brown mass is mistaken for it. It is the royal eagle. With the wings semi-closed, forming an angle with the body, with the claws open and advanced, the bird of Jupiter is materially nailed against the wall of the fox…arrow_forwardIdentify one environmental problem.

- Connor and Miguel want to investigate if the type of fertilizer changes the color of their hydrangea flowers. They select 10 hydrangea bushes and plant them in the same yard with the same type of soil. Every bush gets 3 cups of fertilizer, but each receiving a different brand. One bush gets no fertilizer. All bushes receive morning sunlight and no afternoon sunlight. All bushes are watered the same amount every other morning. After four weeks, the boys observe the color of the blooms on each bush.

Doug and his research team carry out experiments with the plant species Mouse-ear Cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana. They like this species because it is easy to grow in both the lab and field. Arabidopsis is very small and lives for just one year. It grows across most of the globe and in a wide range of latitudes and climates. Arabidopsis is also able to pollinate itself and produce many seeds, making it possible for researchers to grow many individuals to use in their experiments. Doug chose Arabidopsis populations in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean for his research on local adaptation because those two locations have very different climates. The populations may have adapted to have the highest survival and reproduction based on the climate of their home location. To deal with sudden freezes and cold winters in Scandinavia, plants may have evolved freeze tolerance traits, which produces chemicals that act like…arrow_forward
