From your knowledge from previous lectures (feel free to use outside resources), what does NDVI provide a direct indicator of? Group of answer choices The amount of healthy, photosynthetically active vegetation The moisture needs of vegetation in the area The density of urban structures in the region The presence of heavy metals in plant tissues in the region

Choose the best possible answer from the following list of responses. Note that a response may be used more than once The balance between the total amount of CO2 taken up by the plant community and the total CO2 loss by the plant community Data generated from satellite imagery that are used to quantify spatial and temporal variations in vegetation over large spatial scales Choose__. Richness Herbivory Principal components analysis Gamma Resource partitioning Gross primary production Spectral vegetation indices Net primary production Litter production Net ecosystem production Alpha Beta Type of diversity that represents a single community: When plants acquire resources from different soil depths Type of diversity that represents differences in communities across large-scale environmental gradients. The total amount of CO2 absorbed by the plant community
