How Does Light Intensity Influence The Population...

Field Practical Observations 1. Observation: There were more Chamomile sunray plants in the areas that had a lot more exposure to the sun, than shady areas. Question : How does light intensity influence the population distribution of small shrub species such as Chamomile sunray? 2. Observation: Lichen was noticed to be growing on the Callistenom rugulosus (Scarlet bottlebrushes) which were located near a road, however, they were not noticed to be growing on scarlet bottlebrushes which were located away from the road. Shrub near a road exposed to more air pollution. Question: How does the increase in air pollution near roads influence the abundance of lichen species such as Lepraria incana on shrub species? 3. Observation:†¦show more content†¦7. Observation: A higher density of plants were observed to grow near a source of water with the plant density decreasing as the distance to the water source increased. Question: What is the correlation between the density of shrubs/plants and the amount of distance between them and a water source? 8. Observation: On the Lemon Bottlebrush, scientifically known as Callistermon pallidus, a higher density of leaves were observed to be growing on the branches that were located on the top of the shrub, compared to those growing on the bottom of the shrub. Question: How is the density of leaves on shrubs such as Lemon Bottlebrushes influenced by the location of the leaves on a shrub? 9. Observation: A greater amounts of insects were located near a water sources, compared to areas which were distant from a water source. Question: What is the correlation between the sizes of invertebrate populations and the distance between them and a water source? 10. Observation: In the drier regions of an area, more small plants were observed to be growing compared to wetter regions of an area. Question: What factors cause a higher abundance of small plants to grow in regions of greater rainfall compared to regions that receive low rainfall?
