The relative abundance of C plant species increases with latitude because of the associated temperature gradient. A study in North America found that at  42°  North,  C3  plants  become more  abundant than  C4  plants. Given  an  increase in  mean global  temperatures by  10°C and no  other changes in  environmental conditions,  the latitude at which C3 plants become more abundant:

The following figure is a model of seedling establishment as a function of distance from a parent tree. Initial seed density measures the number of seeds falling to the ground. Seed survivorship measures the proportion of seeds that survive to the adult stage at each distance

Which of the following factors is most likely to generate the seed survivorship curve shown?
