Q1: GBIF Download Steps (3 marks)

Click to reveal

1. Navigate to gbif.org/occurrence/search
2. Enter scientific name or geographic coordinates
3. Apply filters: Basis of record, date range, coordinates
4. Click download → Select "Simple CSV" format
5. Verify email/download dataset

Q2: Interpret NDVI 0.82 vs 0.6 (2 marks)

Click to reveal

NDVI 0.82 indicates dense, healthy vegetation (high photosynthetic activity).
NDVI 0.6 suggests sparse vegetation or stress (drought/deforestation).
Scale: -1 to 1, where >0.7 is dense vegetation, <0.2 is barren.

Q3: Why Amazon soil nutrient-poor? (2 marks)

Click to reveal

1. Rapid decomposition (hot, wet climate) releases nutrients quickly
2. Heavy rainfall leaches nutrients from soil
3. Plants uptake nutrients immediately → stored in biomass, not soil
4. Lateritic soil composition (iron/aluminum oxides)

Q4: Energy Flow: Forest vs Coral Reef (2 marks)

Click to reveal

Forest: Multi-tiered, complex web, 10% transfer between levels, high biomass at base
Reef: High turnover, efficient recycling, symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) provide 90% energy, inverted pyramid possible (biomass)
