Based on the following data:

1) Based on the abiotic data above, form your own hypothesis:

(mg/L)	134 Freeway	JPL
Nitrate	2.1	0.66
Phosphate	0.7	0.5
Zinc	0.1	0.28

A data in this format will be provided for you to test your hypothesis.

Organism Group	Mode of Nutrition	Location	Number of Observstions on iNaturalist
Cyanobacteria	Autotrophic	JPL	2
Cyanobacteria	Autotrophic	134	8
Cilliates	Heterotrophic	JPL	9
Cilliates	Hetertrophic	134	7
Arthropods	Heterotrophic	JPL	6
Arthropods	Heterotrophic	134	0
Copepods	Hetrotrophic	JPL	2
Copepods	Hetrotrophic	134	0
Rotifers	Hetrotrophic	JPL	3
Rotifers	Hetrotrophic	134	1
Diatoms	Autotrophic	JPL	8
Diatoms	Autotrophic	134	2

 A. Based on the data above, is your hypothesis supported or refuted?  Or both? Explain how.

B. Based again on the data, please explain what effects you think the abiotic factors are having on the aqutic biotic community.

C. What other abiotic factors do you think could be factor in the differences observed between the 134 and JPL samples?
