Climate change is a real and worsening phenomenon. Many people think that the effects of climate change are restricted to the increase in the Earth’s average temperature. As we will see this semester, this is certainly not the case. Even where global warming is the main driving force, it may not be the sole or even primary factor determining whether a species will survive or become extinct. For this week’s forum, read the blog Falling to the competition: how climate change forces species to collide and answer the questions that follow.

1. How do plants generally respond to global warming?

2. Elevated temperature associated with climate change is not the sole factor affecting plant survival. What other factor(s) may be involved?

3. If a plant fails to move to a higher elevation to adapt to warming, its chances for survival are much less than that of a plant that does. How do you explain this finding?

4. In what important way does the design of this study differ from what plants should expect to encounter in a real world scenario? What does this imply will be the strongest detriment to a plant’s survival in a warming world?

Essay Questions (3-5 pages)

1. Describe two human–plant interactions that cause global warming. Describe two human–plant interactions that could reverse global warming. Discuss how one scenario may be a stronger influence.

2. Ash (Fraxinus) flowers are small and green and hardly apparent to the human eye. In contrast, Datura wrightii are large and showy with fused petals forming a tube. Explain the adaptive advantages of each of these types of flowers and whether one has a better adaptation or not.

3. Do heterotrophs or autotrophs benefit more from the existence of the other?

What is a lichen? Give a detailed description of it and explain what it is.

How do you know you have found a lichen and not just some mold (fungus, mushroom, moss, morel, etc)?

think about your own local ecosystem over the last few years. Can you honestly state that you have noticed something different that may be an effect of global warming? Briefly describe what we have noticed. how it is related to global warming.
