Question

List three areas that have very low chlorophyll concentration on land. What characteristics of these areas cause such low concentrations?

Answer 1

Basically, areas without much plant life have low chlorophyll concentration. In this case, extreme climates characterizes these areas. Specifically, the desert, polar tundra, and high mountain ridges are three areas which have low chlorophyll concentrations. The main characteristics are that they have no soil, shallow soil, or soil that lacks in nutrients, which makes it not suitable for plants to grow; they also have limited water available. Since chlorophyll is contained in vegetation, any area without plants will lack chlorophyll. Hope this helps!

Answer: Desert, Polar Tundra, and High Mountain Ridges because of lack of soil or nutrient in the soil, and lack of water.
