Duckweed (lemna minor)-write a paragraph about why you feel that ponds that are shadier tended to have more duckweed and why you feel that pond size did not have an influence. Then you’ll want to connect this to other literature in a meaningful way. Finally, end with why our results matter (can they inform how to best grow/protect duckweed?)

Assignment Question

1. This is a manuscript make sure to include an introduction, methods, results, discussion and conclusion 2. make sure to include the sources you use on its own page in APA format 3. Do not use AI 4. The question is if the size of ponds and the shade cover of ponds influenced whether duckweed would be able to grow in a pond or not. To address this we compared the estimated size of ponds with and without duckweed and the estimated shade coverage of ponds with and without duckweed. We found evidence for the role of shade but not pond size. We also found that shade and size are not necessarily correlated. 5. for the results when writing the paper down below is a document with all the information. 6. When you’re citing literature, (1) make sure that you are citing literature that is relevant to our study. Just because a study involved duckweed, doesn’t not mean it is worth citing. I would prefer that you cite a study about different species that are influenced by shade and pond size than a study about duckweed that isn’t directly relevant. (2) Make sure you understand what the other studies found 7. To improve your discussion for the revisions, you’ll need to have a paragraph that correctly summarizes your findings and whether they met your predictions. You’ll also need to write a paragraph about why you feel that ponds that are shadier tended to have more duckweed and why you feel that pond size did not have an influence. Then you’ll want to connect this to other literature in a meaningful way. Finally, end with why our results matter (can they inform how to best grow/protect duckweed?)
