conducted here?
2) What is Relative Dominance? What measurement was taken in order
to calculate the relative dominance?
3) What is Relative Frequency? What measurement was taken in order
to determine relative frequency?
4) What are you trying to determine about relative dom and relative
frequency?
5) What abiotic factors differ between different forest layers?
6) What is the canopy, what is the understory?
7) How did you determine what layer each species of tree was in?
Paragraph Two:
1) What is the hypothesis about the relationship (strong or opposing)
between relative dominance and relative frequency?
2) What is a strong relationship?
3) What is an opposing relationship?
4) What abiotic factor(s) is/are used to support your hypothesis?
5) Give an explanation of how this abiotic factor affects dominance and
frequency.
