John is completing an internship in biology at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. While interning there, he monitors an outdoor phytoplankton exhibit to observe how populations of phytoplankton change when exposed to light. It is observed that each year the phytoplankton population within the exhibit increases when it was exposed to high amounts of sunlight. A new apartment complex that overlooks the aquarium is being built. The phytoplankton that were receiving 8-12 hours of sunlight each day will now have between 2-5 hours of sunlight. How will the phytoplankton be affected by the new apartment building?

Chinese privet is a plant that is native to china. over 150 years ago, chinese privet was introduced to the united states as a fast-growing shrub that serves as an excellent privacy hedge. with no natural herbivore, chinese privet quickly established itself and spread in natural areas throughout the southeast and eastern seaboard of the united states. its dominance in these areas has jeopardized the survival of native plant species. chinese privet provides evidence that introducing non-native organisms can cause environmental damage integrated pest management strategies will not decrease chinese privet populations american gardeners can easily control the spread of chinese privet non-native plant species have type i survivorship curves
