How do you think the kinds and numbers of plants growing in an area affect
  the amount of water that the soil can hold?

 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Is this what you predicted?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Since the water-holding capacity of soil is a function of soil particle size and the
amount of organic material in the soil, soils with large numbers of plants with roots
in the topsoil layer or plants that produce a litter layer covering the soil should
increase the water-holding capacity of the soil.

Answer to Question 2

The answer to this question will vary from student to student. The point of this
question is to relate the results to the original prediction.
