1) Why are invasive species bad in Ireland? a) They can provide new microclimates b) They can outcompete native plants and introduce diseases c) They cannot adapt to Ireland’s growth zones d) They evolve into new species that benefit Ireland 2) What is crucial for determining hardiness zones? a) The age of the mountains b) The average temperature in winter and summer c) The rainfall d) The plant growth in the valleys 3) Which part of Ireland has higher humidity? a) Inland b) Mountains c) Coasts d) Valleys 4) Typically, when are the conditions wetter in Ireland? a) summer and fall b) autumn and winter c) winter and spring d) spring and summer 5) Which climate zone has cooler temperatures and abundant rainfall? a) mountain zone b) inland zone c) costal zone d) wetland and bog zone 6) Which climate zone has average annual temperatures as low as 4°C to 7°C (39°F to 45°F)? a) mountain zone b) inland zone c) coastal zone d) wetland and bog zone 7) Which climate zone supports a variety of grasslands, hedgerows, and agricultural crops, benefiting from slightly drier conditions? a) mountain zone b) inland zone c) coastal zone d) wetland and bog zone 8) In which climate zone will one find that precipitation is abundant, especially in the west, where annual rainfall can exceed 3,000 mm (118 inches)? a) mountain zone b) inland zone c) coastal zone d) wetland and bog zone 9) Which of the following is true of shingle beaches? a) They often serve as important habitats for various species, including seabirds, marine life, and plants adapted to sandy or pebbly environments. b) They are predominantly composed of non-native conifer species, such as Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), planted for commercial forestry. c) They cover around 20% of the country's land area. d) The unique flora is specially adapted to thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic, and often waterlogged soils. 10) What Irish plant habitat is made up of pebbles or small stones, known as shingle, rather than the more common sand? a) Shingle beaches b) Peatlands c) Woodlands d) Coastal Meadows 11) Which Irish plant habitats are unique and dynamic habitats, characterized by their proximity to the sea and a distinctive mix of plant species that are adapted to withstand the challenges posed by salt spray, strong winds, fluctuating moisture levels, and nutrient-poor soils? a) Shingle Beaches b) Burren c) Woodlands d) Coastal Meadows 12) What plant habitat of Ireland is considered an essential part of the country's natural heritage, characterized by a mixture of native broadleaf trees, ancient woodlands, and areas of planted coniferous forests? a) Shingle Beachers b) Peatlands c) Woodlands d) Burren
