Question

Q1.7. Imagine a hypothetical 5-species community with two primary producers (plants), two herbivores, and one predator. What's the best way to determine which primary producer is competitively dominant? (Note: In each option below, assume the community has come to equilibrium before data are collected.) Set up 5 plots, each with the entire intact community (all 5 species). Compare average population sizes for the two plant species. Set up 5 plots, each with both plants and both herbivores but no predators. Compare average population sizes for the two plant species. Set up 5 plots, each with both plants but no herbivores and no predators. Compare average population sizes for the two plant species. Set up 5 plots with one plant species and another 5 plots with the other plant species. Compare average population sizes for the two plant species. Submit

Explanation / Answer

If we want to determine which primary producer is completely dominant we have to set up 5 plots, each with entire intact community (all 5 species) and compare average population sizes for the two plant species.
