My research aimed to find that if altitude can affect the production and abundance of the specific species. I found that the abundance of Adiantum Pedatum and Fescue obviously reversed with the change of the altitude (Adiantum Pedatum more in low altitude and less in high altitude; Fescues more in high altitude and less in low altitude.) However, there can be some other factors that influence the number of the species such as sunlight, water, and soil.
Both Adiantum Pedatum and Fescue live in North America. Adiantum Pedatum grows in moist soil with warm temperatures, and they like to live in dark places with woods. Fescue is one of the common grasses we can see in Canada. Fescue not only grows in moist areas, but they can also live in fry regions.
Nowadays, the number of plants is declining due to the destruction of environmental resources. We can maintain the habitat of plants by discovering the survival characteristics of a certain plant and its appropriate environment.
Key words: Temperate continental climate, Tropical climate, Elevation gradient.
Great points and concise information. Thanks Ziyi Yu.
It is interesting to hear about the many factors which effect the number of species (sunlight, water, soil, relative moisture, altitude), and to recognize the fine balance in which many of these things (including us) lie.
It is unfortunate to hear about the decline of this due to anthropogenic influences, but good to be aware of!
Thanks again,
Joel
