September 7, 2018Explain how rising temperatures and changes in precipitation can affect plant populations and whether populations can adapt to these rapid changes.
Prepare: Measuring how plants respond to human related environmental changes is critical in developing mitigation plans and managing our natural resources, including habitats and timber.
Review: View the following videos and websites to learn about some experimental methods that help researchers learn about the effects of climate change on plant populations.
Write: Your initial post should be between 250-300 words.
- Everyone: Explain how rising temperatures and changes in precipitation can affect plant populations and whether populations can adapt to these rapid changes. Provide two examples of specific plant species and how they are expected to respond to climate change. Reference two scholarly or credible sources, plus your textbook to develop your post and examples.
review the video on a study using citizen scientists to track the flowering phenology of the California Poppy in response to changing season lengths and precipitation. Summarize the key points of the field experiment and explain the methods and rational for the experimental approach. (Please note that this video ends after 2:04 minutes but rolls into another video on a different subject that you do not need for this class.)
