QUESTION 21 10 point Our riparian forest had a species richness of 6, while our interior forest had a species richness of 5. Two species (red oak and sugar maple) were found in both the riparian and interior habitats. What is the gamma diversity? 02 07 ? 11 09 10 points QUESTION 22 How are edge habitats different than interior forests? Edge get more precipitation and more sunlight O Edge get more sunlight and are drier O edge provide corridors for the movement of interior species O Edge get less precipitation 10 points SExplanation / Answer
q-21
Answer is 11, as gamma diversity is the diversity in entire landscape.
q-22
Edge habitats get more precipitation and sunlight than others, so option-A
q-23
The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis states that a rise in environment heterogeneousness results in a rise in species diversity. habitat nonuniformity affects diversity by considerably fixing the relative proportions of species in different habitat varieties. as a result of seeds differentially accumulate at the interface between blowouts and matrix, the high productivity of the edge may very well homogenize habitat varieties in terms of species richness.
