Based on the data from the two studies and your knowledge of stability and change in ecosystems, develop a management plan for restoring plant biodiversity in a 1-km2 longleaf pine ecosystem. In your plan, describe two steps that should be taken, and explain how each step will affect plant biodiversity. Use evidence from the information provided on longleaf pine ecosystems to support your answer

I don't think we are allowed to do this type of assignment for you. I can help, but I can't do it for you.

JustSaiyan:

If you look at graph 1, you can get an idea of what the 1 km2 ecosystem population levels with controlled burns. You can use graph 2 to get a general idea of which species will be most affected by the burns. The doc said fire suppression has allowed for a drop in biodiversity. We can assume (from this and the graphs) that controlled burns would once more increase the biodiversity. I think the first step is would be to knock back the most dominant species, as shown in graph 2. This should help you get started

my teacher says you can help in this one and i put my honest opinion just like this one and i did exactly that til i had a bad grade and that's why i asked for help on this
