Ecosystem model: Students are modeling a city park meadow. A dashed boundary outlines a 30 m × 30 m meadow patch. Inside are grasses, clover, bees, butterflies, rabbits, soil, puddles after rain, and sunlight. Outside are a line of trees that shade part of the meadow, a dog-walking path where dogs sometimes chase rabbits, and air pollution from a nearby street. The students write: "System boundaries are chosen for modeling purposes." Which boundary best represents the ecosystem being studied if the goal is to measure how shade affects flower growth in the meadow patch?
