Ecology: Concepts and Applications 4th Edition by Manual Molles

تمرين 1

Suppose you are studying a community of small mammals that live on the boundary between a riverside forest and a semidesert grassland. One of your concerns is to discover the relative contributions of the grassland and the forest to the nutrition of small mammals living between the two ecosystems. Design a research program to find out. (Hint: The grassland is dominated by C 4 grasses and the forest by C 3 plants.)
