Question

Describe the “principle of limiting factors” Then, use the ideas of limiting factors and the current range map of saguaro to describe why you think saguaro occur where they do, and how the range might change if the climate were to become warmer and wetter. Will its range get smaller, larger, or will there be no change? Will there be a shift in the northern range, southern range, eastern range, western range? Why do you think these changes will (or will not) not occur? Focus on the main range limits, do not worry about smaller, individual occurrences.. In case it may be useful, also included is a blank base map that you can use to sketch out your estimate of the future (warmer, wetter) range of saguaro (or tamarack or common persimmon). The map alone is not sufficient for answering the “warmer and wetter” part of this question, however – you also must explain your reasoning.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:

The standard states that the factor such as a particular nutrient, water, or sunshine that is in shortest supply called the limiting factor will limit the growth and development of an organism otherwise a community. The honey locust also well-known as the thorny locust, is a deciduous tree , most regularly in central and western Kentucky also found in the range of central North America where it is mostly found in the moist soil of river valley range from southeastern South Dakota to New Orleans and central Texas, and as far east as eastern Massachusetts. The species have become a significant invasive weed in other regions of the world. It is Native trees have numerous thorns along the main stem and branches. Trees used in the landscape are thornless and often do not create the characteristic long pods. It is common in old farms and pastures. The Kentucky champion tree is in Lewis County and is 80 feet tall. And The Range changes will not occur due to above and the following botanical information. Growth habit: Short trunk and an open, spreading crown; irregular silhouette.

Tree size: Varies from 30 to 70 feet tall with a similar spread. It can reach a height of 100 feet or more in the wild. Flower and fruit:

Greenish-yellow, perfect and imperfect flowers are bear on the same tree from May to June. Flowers are fragrant but not showy. Fruit is a reddish-brown to brown pod from 7 to 18 inches long and about an inch wide. It contains hard, elliptical seeds and is often irregularly twisted. There are cultivars that are fruitless.

Leaf:

Alternate, pinnately or bipinnately compound, 6 to 8 inches long with 20 to 30 leaflets. Leaves are light green in summer; fall color is yellow. Leaves drop early in fall.

Honey locusts can reach a height of 20–30 m (66–98 ft), with fast growth, and be relatively short-lived; their life spans are naturally about 120 years, though some live up to 150 years. They are prone to losing large branches in windstorms. The leaves are pinnately compound on older trees but bipinnately compound on vigorous young trees.
