If the actual results most closely resembled those in part (A) in the figure above, then a further question arising from these data is:

"Do the Dawsonia rhizoids have to be alive to reduce soil nitrogen loss, or do dead rhizoids have the same effect?" Arrange the following steps in the correct sequence to test this hypothesis. 1. Add metabolic poison to the soil of the experimental plot of mosses. 2. Apply water equally to the experimental and control plots. 3. Measure initial soil nitrogen contents of control and experimental plots. 4. Determine nitrogen loss from soil of control and experimental plots. 5. Establish two identical plots of Dawsonia mosses; one as a control, the other as the experimental treatment. A) 5 ? 1 ? 3 ? 2 ? 4 B) 5 ? 2 ? 3 ?? 1 ? 4 C) 5 ? 3 ? 1 ?? 2 ? 4 D) 4 ? 5 ? 1 ? 3 ?? 2 E) 5 ? 3 ? 2 ?? 1 ? 4
