Analyze your data. Theoretically each good seed could grow into a new Redbud tree. If conditions were favorable for this to occur for five years in a row and assuming that all seeds continued growing each year, what type of a population growth curve would occur?

1

Study the Graph above which includes data for 2 different years. Why might this data be considered more accurate than your individual data collected today?

1

Based on the data for the 2 different years, does the total infestation percentage pose a threat to reproductive potential of the Redbud tree?

1

State whether this study most likely (under-estimated or over-estimated) the reproductive potential of the Redbud tree.

What are possible "limiting factors" during these two years that would account for the differences in data?
