3 Community ecology homework shortest answer if possible
- Paleoecologists have studied what happened last time an ice age caused temperate areas to move equatorward, compressing tropical communities into a narrow band around the equator during the last (Wisconsonian) Ice Age. The way in which the communities moved during this period of climate change would be another way to test between Gleason and Clement’s versions of the world. What two lines of evidence do scientists use to study the movement of communities over these longer time scales and what did they find? (Who seems to be right? Gleason or Clements)?
