The paper will focus on Modeling a desert ecosystem structure to provide a visual analysis of plant-animal Interactions in a desert (See papers attached for full details of the actual study to be modelled).
The study area is a desert in California, and Due to constant climate change such as drought and high rainfall, some shrubs and animals that exist in the same desert are affected by these changes annually. In this study, the writer is expected to model the same desert ecosystems using information in the attached papers, focusing on the positive and negative interactions between the Lizards species mentioned in the papers, Shrubs and other plant species in the desert, and show how they are affected by extreme weather conditions, such as drought and high precipitation.
The writer is expected to glance through the papers attached, they are the actual articles to be used for this very paper, and what the writer needs to do is to expand the scope of the same research by modeling the exact ecosystem structure looking at the papers attached.
The following will be required in the paper.
A list of the lizards’ species
A list of the plants, for example there are 700 shrubs.
How they are measured. Create a summary of the list of all the measurements as shown in the papers attached.
Draw diagrams to show how and what affects what, how climate change affects the shrubs and how the shrubs affect the lizards vice versa. Draw the interactions so we can visualize the ecosystem structure.
Show the distance that shrubs are located apart, for example, 2meters by 2 meters. (I have shown this in my draft but I need it to be properly done, please). Check the attached document ”my draft”
If the climate gets hotter, what will the ecosystem response be? We need to see the impact of weather conditions and how it impacts the shrubs and all those lizards, that’s all. The shade under the shrubs and the temperature above and how they impact the 700 shrubs.
Include graphs or tables representing some actual results where possible. Draw a sketch to show the layers and connections of all the ecosystems (Example, the Shrubs are connected to the soil and to the lizards etc). Find out if lizards try to help each other or are competing for the habitat, include this in the paper. Where there is a positive interaction, draw with red, and if its negative draw with black.
I HAVE STARTED WRITING THE PAPER ALREADY, JUST CHECK MY DRAFT SO YOU CAN DO IT AS REQUIRED. REMEMBER IT IS MODELLING SO IT SHOULD HAVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE DIAGRAMS. CHECK THE PAPER ATTACHED ”SAMPLE OF PAPER” FOR EXAMPLE OF DIAGRAMS TO INCLUDE
