ScLi15- Determine whether results оf а reseаrch study аnswer the research questiоn The fоllowing is an excerpt of the study Herbivore effects increase with latitude across the extent of a foundational seagrass, whose first author is Dr. Justin Campbell (a professor in our bio department). "In this Article, we used a network of 650 experimental plots distributed across 13 seagrass meadows in the western North Atlantic to explore the effects of increased herbivory on a marine ecosystem under the emerging threat of tropicalization. We were particularly interested in high-latitude turtlegrass meadows at the northern edge of this species’ range, and our approach was a comparative analysis of herbivore effects (and the drivers of its variation) across tropical–subtropical waters. We specifically asked (1) What are the effects of increased herbivory on the health and ecological functioning of turtlegrass across its geographic extent? (2) Are these effects more prominent at the higher latitudes near northern range boundaries? [...] To answer these questions, we conducted a synchronous, year-long manipulative field experiment at turtlegrass sites distributed from Panama (9° N) to Bermuda (32° N) (Fig. 1a). At each site, we factorially manipulated grazing intensity and nutrient availability. Grazing was manipulated using two techniques (1) the exclusion of large natural grazers (turtles and large herbivorous fishes) using mesh caging and (2) the simulation of increased grazing by clipping the leaf canopy to varying degrees, severe grazing (full-clip) and moderate grazing (half -clip) (Fig. 1 and Extended Data Fig. 1). Nutrient availability was manipulated by fertilizer amendments. " based on figure 2, what can researchers conclude? a,b, Effects of simulated grazing across latitude (°N) (a) and light (PAR, µmol photons per m2 per s) (b) after the summer growing season. Jittered points are the raw data and represent individual plots (n = 50 plots per site). Lines represent linear fits with 95% confidence intervals for the severe grazing (red), moderate grazing (blue) and no grazing (black) treatments. Interaction terms were significant for the severe grazing treatments (indicated with an asterisk): latitude × full clip, P = 0.0185 (a); light × full clip, P
ScLi5- Identify the purpоse оf intrоduction in scientific pаpers This is аre some pаragraphs in the introduction of Ecosystem Services and Human Well-Being: a Participatory Study in a Mountain Community in Portugal. The authors assessed which ecosystem services were provided by a mountainous ecosystem "The well-being of present and future generations depends on the continuous flow of ecosystem services, which are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems (Daily 1997). Links between human well-being and ecosystem services are multiple and complex (Salzman et al. 2001). Improvements in the well-being of present generations can have negative impacts on the supply of ecosystem services to future generations if those improvements are based on unsustainable exploitation of the environment. [...] In our study we use a participatory approach to examine both the local criteria for well-being and the links to ecosystem services. (...) We ask four questions: (1) What are the local criteria for human well-being? (2) Which ecosystem services are recognized and valued by the community? (3) What are the main trends in those services and their impacts on well-being? (4) Which of the functions that should be fulfilled by an introduction are MISSING?
ScLi15- Determine whether results оf а reseаrch study аnswer the research questiоn The Biоdiversity-stability hypothesis suggests that more plant species in an area can enhance the stability and resilience of ecological communities (groups of other species), resulting in diverse communities being better able to withstand disturbances or environmental fluctuations. A study wanted to determine if the hypothesis applied to grassland areas. They manipulated the plant richness (number of plant species) by adding or removing plant species. Which statements best conclude the response of the community to these changes?
ScLi11- Identify predictiоns оf reseаrch pаpers A study wаnts tо test the following hypothesis: Precipitation patterns affect the flowering timing of plants. Researchers will test this hypothesis by performing field experiments setting up controlled plots of mango trees with varying levels of water availability to simulate different precipitation patterns. They will monitor these plots over one year and will monitor daily the appearance of flowering buds. provide direct observations of changes in flowering times. Which of the following would be appropriate predictions?
