Textbook Question
Chapter 52, Problem 5TYK
Which of the following statements reflects a concern about the effects of global climate change on tree species?
- a. Trees may not be able to disperse fast enough to reach new habitats that meet their climatic requirements.
- b. Warmer temperatures may speed tree growth, producing trees that are too tall and spindly.
- c. The additional CO2 in the atmosphere may actually increase photosynthetic rates and prove beneficial to tree growth.
- d. Most trees will be able to evolve adaptations to deal with climate changes because temperatures are rising very slowly.

- One island in the Pacific is most famous with its sweetest and juicy mango. The local government of the island issued a legislation that prohibits anyone, local or foreigner, to bring a mango fruit or plant from other places to the island. a. What do you think is the reason of the local government for not allowing anyone to bring a mango fruit or plant from other places to the island? b. With the increasing effect of climate change, do you think the decision of the local government is appropriate or not? Explain your answerarrow_forwardWhich of the following is typically true concerning the difference between Deciduous Forests and Coniferous Forests? A.Coniferous Forests tend to dominate where water is limited by soil, freezing temperatures, or lower rainfall B. Coniferous Forests tend to dominate where humans have disturbed the land C. Deciduous Forests only exist in tropical areas D. Deciduous Forests tend to dominate where water is limited by soil, freezing temperatures, or lower rainfallarrow_forwardPine trees are coniferous trees native to most areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Pines produce seeds in the form of pine cones. In some species, pine cones open automatically upon maturation to release seeds. Other species rely solely on birds to break open the pine cones to disperse the seeds. In still others, a resin holds the pine cones closed until a forest fire melts the resin and the seeds can be released. Immediately after a forest fire, what type of growth would pine trees experience? a) Exponential b) Parabolic c) Logistic d) Lineararrow_forward
