Imagine a community of organisms in a forest is affected by a chemical spill that leads to a fire. The fire is contained and burns out and the chemical spill is cleaned up. Monitoring of the plant community following this disturbance researchers noticed that after the spill and fire there was a sharp drop in species diversity, abundance, and richness. Over the next 5 years the area was monitored. The community's diversity, abundance, and richness all increased slightly during the first year however after the first year only the abundance went up during the following 4 years with no changes in any other area. Which of the following models explains these patterns? Restructured Gradual recovery Hangover effect Eliminated
Which community would be expected to have the highest species richness? Group of answer choices A community that inhabits a small geographic area near the poles.

A community that inhabits a large geographic area near the equator.
There are several hypotheses to explain why biodiversity is higher near the equator. State one of these hypotheses, and make an argument AGAINST it being the correct explanation.
