Many dosert plants have small neodio-iko loavos. What is the best reason for this difforence? (SC.SL.17.1) P O The plants are different ages. O The plants in the desert do not reproduce.

The population of Desert Paradise (DP; a fictitious town) hasbeen doubling every 7 years. Most of the new inhabitants are“snowbirds,” people escaping the cold winters of northerlylatitudes. There are no permanent streams or lakes anywherenear DP. In fact, the only standing water occurs in the ponds ofthe many golf courses that have been built recently. The water inthese ponds needs to be replenished almost constantly, or theponds will dry up. The golf courses and yards of the suburbanstyle developments of DP all have lawns of green grass. DP hasbeen growing on a flat, sediment-filled basin between two smallmountain ranges. Much of the water supply of DP comes fromwells. What do you predict will happen to the water table of thearea in coming years, and how might the land surface change asa consequence? Might you suggest a policy to the residents ofDP that could slow the process of change?
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY In many countries,irrigation is depleting aquifers to such an extent that landis subsiding, harvests are decreasing, and it is becomingnecessary to drill wells deeper. In many cases, the withdrawalof groundwater has now greatly surpassed the aquifers’ ratesof natural recharge. Discuss the possible consequences of thistrend. What can society and science do to help alleviate thisgrowing problem?

Figure 1.16 seems at first to be simply a description of thephysical and chemical properties of a lake. Outline how livingorganisms participate in determining the physical and chemical(i.e., temperature and O2) patterns. Consider organisms livingboth in the lake and on the land surrounding the lake. Consideralso a research report that shows that dense populations of algaesometimes change the temperature structure of lakes by raisingthe thermocline and thereby increasing the thickness of the deep,cold layer; how could algal populations do this, and what couldbe the consequences for deep-water animals?
