So i believe the enviroment is the independent variable and the
survivorship is the dependent variable. My question is, do I have
one independent variable with 2 levels or do I have two independent
variables?
Question 2 (13 points) You are interested in the population dynamics of a common shrub species Ecologicus fantasticus that grows in many terrestrial biomes. It is a long-lived plant that is sometimes known to live up to fifty years in some habitats. You are interested in how the precipitation and temperature regimes of different biomes affect its life span; of greatest interest are two biomes that are geographically close to each other in the region that you live in: temperate deciduous forest and temperate shrubland. You walk transects in both biomes and sample every dead shrub of E. fantasticus that you encounter along the transects until you sample 500 dead shrubs in each biome. By counting the rings formed in the woody main stem of the dead plant, you are able to record the age (in years) at which each individual died. You make the following life-table in each biome. ta bomes tha iation and tetimes known dead shrub of E cidos fores
