forests of the tiaga‚ and so they have a longer growing season. This gives the plants more time to produce food‚ and the forest yields about 6000 Kilocalories per square meter per year for animals to eat. These primary producers form the first trophic level. The trees in the deciduous forest shed their leaves in winter. This prevents their branches from being broken by the weight of the snow‚ but also means that they have to grow leaves anew each spring. The trees and shrubs produce flowers‚ seeds‚ and

A Likert-type scale asks you to answer a question by making a choice along a range of answers numbered from‚ say‚ 1 through 5. With interval level data‚ the values tell you something about the difference between given values. Test score data‚ for example‚ are often interval. Consider the design of your study. The gold standard in most research is the randomized experiment‚ in which subjects
