Document Summary
Note: nutrient can be abiotic or biotic depending on how it is used. Climate/weather/shelter are too general! (b) for one of the abiotic environmental variables you chose above, design a controlled experiment to test a hypothesis that this factor affects the distribution of millipedes on the forest floor. Describe data that would support your hypothesis. (1 point each; 6 points maximum) A specific statistical test need not be mentioned: feasibility experiment could be performed and would yield data that would answer the question posed. Question 4 (continued) (c) suppose that you were examining the distribution of a plant, instead of the millipede. Describe modifications in the experiment that you designed in (b) that would be required to determine whether the abiotic factor you chose affects the distribution of the plant. (1 point each; 3 points maximum) Information meeting the criteria for the question is presented in a logical and clear sequence.
