3. You are working in a temperate rainforest that has small patches of sandy soil spread throughout the area. This soil has a unique chemistry, different from the soil of the neighboring clay-rich areas of the forest, and results in a different composition of plants. In particular, you notice one shrub that occurs only on the small sandy patches. Briefly describe three factors that you hypothesize may explain the patchy distribution of the shrub. How would you determine the sexual...
