File Edit Go Tools Help Section 2: Decomposition Rates Decomposition 23/24> Here are three LTER sites and their annual mean temperature and total precipitation figures - Coweeta Hydrologic Lab: 13 'C, 180 cm . Kellogg Biological Station, Michigan: 9 C, 81 cm - Bonanza Creek, Alaska -5 C, 40 cm Q2.23. Based purely on climate, which of the following k values for chestnut oak leaves are the likely match with each site? Coweeta: 0.36, Kellogg: 0.09, Bonanza: 0.22 Coweeta 0.09, Kellogg: 0.36, Bonanza: 0.22 Coweeta 0.36, Kellogg: 0.22, Bonanza 0.09 Q2.24. Take a look at the graph of exponential decay curves on the right. Which of the following could feasibly describe the match between the plotted curves and decomposition of oak leaves at the three LTER sites? Curve A - Bonanza. Curve B-Coweeta, Curve C- Kellog Curve A # Coweeta, Curve B im Kellog, Curve C Bonanza Curve A- Bonanza, Curve B Kellog. Curve C Coweeta me anything e

Explanation / Answer

Answer 2.23

Coweeta 0.36,Kellogg 0.22, Bonanza 0.09

This is so because the decay rate or decomposition intensity constant or k value depends on physical and chemical constituents of the soul, micronutrients and also leaf litter.

Chestnut oak can survive on steep,Rocky sites.

Answer 2.24
