Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative abundance is calculated by dividing the number of individuals of a species by the total number of individuals in the community and then multiplying by 100. For this question, the relative abundance of the tree would be (100/1000) x 100 = 10%. Therefore, the tree has a relative abundance of 0.1 or 0.01 (depending on whether the answer is in decimal or percentage form) and the best answer choice is C.
