Explain the climatic factor of Temperature (Frost tolerant vs. Frost sensitive):

Frost tolerant: - Pine trees / Needle Leaved Trees - Smaller in size - They absorb water, moisture through their needle leaves and stay hydrated and green year around. Frost sensitive: - Tropical leaves - Larger in size - Die in snow conditions

Define a "plant community"

It's an association of compatible (plants that get along) species with regards to climatic and environmental factors.

Why isn't "0" far left of the scales?

It's not on the far left side because it wouldn't allow us to be much more precise if it was at the far end. Being where it is, it gives us a closer approximation to the actual distance in the real world.

Explain the climatic factor of sunlight:

It's the most critical factor for all of life. It is the source of energy for photosynthesis.

Explain the climatic factor of wind:

Wind increases transpiration (Plants capability to sweat, losing their moisture~their pours open up). Prevailing strong winds may affect the growth and shape of trees. - ex: trees leaning sideways because it's less energy to grow against the wind. The orographic effect: - Wind pushing on the upward side of the mountain as cold air. - Wind exiting on the leeward side as warm air. - Trees growing on upward side of mountain are "flag shaped"... also known as the "Flag-Effect"
