In a field experiment, researchers set up several plots of land that had either 1, 5, or 10 different plant species. Select true or false for each statement below about the results you would predict. 1) Invasive species would be most likely to invade the plots with 1 species, compared to the plots with 5 or 10 species. [1] 2) The 1 species plots would have the most efficient use of resources such as water, nitrogen, and phosphorus. [2] 3) The plots with 10 species would be more susceptible to the effects of a drought compared to the plots with 5 or 1 species. [3] 4) Compared to the plots with 1 or 10 species, the plots with 5 species would be most likely to contain species that provide the same function. [4]
