Two savanna communities both contain 15 plant species. In community A, each of the 15 species is represented by 20 individuals. In community B, 10 of the species are each represented by 12 individuals; the remaining 5 species are each represented by 3 individuals. Which statement best describes the two communities?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Community A has a higher species evenness

Explanation:

  • Community A has high species evenness because species evenness is the relative proportion of people of different races in a particular area.
  • In Community A, a total of 15 races are represented equally by 20 individuals, while in Community B, 10 out of 15 races are represented by 12 individuals and 5 other 3 individuals.
  • The relative proportion of individuals of different races is greater than A. So that Community A has more species evenness.
