<p>1.
You are testing a hypothesis that population density of a particular plant species influences the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infects the plant. Because the fungus causes visible scars on the leaves, you can easily determine whether a plant is infected. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Include your experimental treatments and control, the data you will collect, and the results expected if your hypothesis is correct.</p>
<p>2.
With two nearby ponds in a forest as your study site, how would you design a controlled experiment to measure the effect of falling leaves on net production in a pond?</p>
