WarmupAn ecologist is concerned that the population of an endangered species of plant continues to drop.
List as many possible causes for a dropping population as you can think of.

Learning Goal
You will be able to describe how the carbon and nitrogen cycles work, and how they’re currently imbalanced.
You’ll understand how abiotic factors affect soil quality for growing plants.

Nitrogen Cycle
Plants with nitrogen-affixing nodules in their roots: legumes, clover, alfalfa, soybeans, peas, peanuts, and beans.

Soil Quality
Acidity Salinity Carbon Nitrogen Phosphorous
Why use manure, guano, compost, or other materials to enrich the soil?
How would you cycle farmland crops to maintain its nitrogen levels?
