AP Success - AP Biology Conceptual Analysis: Evolution - Biodiversity and Ecosystems
In the Amazon Rainforest, there are over 400 billion individual trees representing over 16,000 species. Some of these species are found only in specific areas of the rainforest, while others are widespread.
Question 1
Short answer
Describe the role of biodiversity in the stability of the Amazon Rainforest ecosystem.
Question 2
Short answer
The Amazon Rainforest is characterized by a unique phenomenon known as "vertical layering" where different species occupy different layers of the forest. Explain how this vertical stratification contributes to the high biodiversity in this ecosystem.
Question 3
Short answer
Predict the impact on the Amazon Rainforest ecosystem if a widespread tree species were to suddenly go extinct.
Question 4
Short answer
Scientists claim that the Amazon Rainforest's biodiversity is not just a result of its age but also due to the stability of its climate over millions of years. Justify this claim using the concept of evolution and biodiversity.
