Chapter 4 Review
To check your understanding of the material covered in Chapter 4, complete this
review. The review is based on the partially completed hydrozone worksheet
which is located at the end of Chapter 7.
1. The worksheet indicates that the base plant is a ground cover: Ice Plant.
Using the information in the sample worksheet, and Tables 4-2 through 4-4,
calculate the K
c
for the ice plant.
2. The non-base plants in this hydrozone include two ferns. Calculate the K
c
for
the ferns.
3. Calculate the water requirement for the base plant. Remember that for dense
base plants, the water requirement is measured in inches per day.
4. Calculate the water requirement for the two ferns (5-foot diameter). Remem-
ber that the water requirement for individual plants is calculated in gallons
per day. To calculate the water requirement, you must first calculate the area
of the plant canopy.
