Question

Give one example of how the testing of Platismatia glauca could benefit future ecological research of this forest.

Answer 1

Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.

hope this helps:)
