Question 1 (40pts)
List the Importance Value for Each Species (round to the hundredth place).
Species McCarty Woods Bartram-Carr Woods
Acer rubrum
Carya glabra
Celtis laevigata
Cinnamomum camphora
Liquidambar styraciflua
Pinus taeda
Question 2 (10pts)
Why would we hypothesize that the stand structure in these two urban forests would be similar?
Question 3 (10pts)
What influences or factors could make the stand structure in these two urban forests different?
Question 4 (10pts)
Using the comparison of Importance Values that you calculated for these woods, in a qualitative manner, should we accept or reject our hypothesis? Please explain.
Question 5 (10pts)
Does the concept of the Importance Value accurately capture differences or similarities in stand structure between the two urban forests? What does it tell us?
Question 6 (10pts)
What do you consider the limitations to this study? Are these major or minor limitations?
Question 7 (10pts)
Considering the experimental design, how could you improve this study?
for question 1 we are listing the importance value for each specie on both areas McCarty Woods and Bartram-Carr Woods. The question kind of clung them together.
