Step 3.  Gather Information needed to complete the ESS Analysis

Part I

Using your answers from your research, list any additional cause and effect relationships you found for the event and the spheres. These relationships should build on or be different from the ones you listed in Step 1. The answers you find should explain the possible causes and effects increased concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide could have on the spheres that comprise the Kansas wheat farm ecosystem. Keep track of where you locate information. You may need to look it up again when you do Step 4.

Part II

Using answers from your research, list the cause and effect relationships that occur between and among the spheres.

Note
: Begin thinking about how these relationships may in turn affect future yields of hard-red winter wheat.
