A group conducted a survey of two different plots on campus. Both plots had 100 trees in them. Plot 1 had 85 maples, 5 birch, 5

oaks, and 5 pines. Plot 2 had 35 maples, 25 birch, 35 oaks, and 5 pines. Which of the following statements is supported by these data?a. Plot 2 contains a greater evenness of gymnosperms than plot 1 does.
b. Plot 1 most likely has higher primary productivity than plot 2.
c. The species richness of plot 2 is greater than that of plot 1.
d. The species diversity of plot 2 is greater than that of plot 1.
e. Plot 2 is most likely located further south (closer to the equator).

Answer:

d. The species diversity of plot 2 is greater than that of plot 1.

Explanation:

Species diversity of an area depends on its species richness and species evenness. Species richness is the number of species present in that area. Species evenness measures how evenly these species are distributed.

Here, both plot 1 and plot 2 have same number of species. They both have four species of trees ( maple, birch, oak and pine) hence their species richness is same. However plot 1 has 85% maple trees and the rest three species make the remaining 15%. Plot 2 has more even distribution as 35% of trees are maple trees and birch and oak also have similar frequency with 25% and 35% respectively. Hence, plot 2 has more evenness.

Species diversity depends on both richness and evenness. Since plot 1 and 2 have same richness but plot 2 has more evenness, plot 2 has more species diversity than plot 1.

Air travel is usually the largest component of the carbon footprint of frequent flyers. A single return flight from London to New York – including the complicated effects on the high atmosphere – contributes to almost a quarter of the average person’s annual emissions. The easiest way to make a big difference is to go by train or not take as many flights.


2 The second most important lifestyle change is to eat less meat, with particular emphasis on meals containing beef and lamb. Cows and sheep emit large quantities of methane, a powerful global warming gas. A vegan diet might make as much as a 20% difference to your overall carbon impact but simply cutting out beef will deliver a significant benefit on its own.

Six thousand reindeer once lived on a remote island in the Bering Sea that was briefly their paradise. In what has become a classic story of wildlife boom and bust, no reindeer live on St. Matthew Island now. Three scientists just looked back at the St. Matthew's reindeer herd and found that an extreme winter probably pushed the stressed animals to their deaths.
