Ecologists have discovered that the seeds of many plants that grow in forests cannot germinate unless they have been exposed to fire. design an experiment to test whether a particular plant has seeds with this requirement. include your hypothesis statement, a description of control and experimental groups, and an outline of your procedure. how do i do the procedure?

Thank you for posting your question here at . Two types of treatments: type of seed and fire. 
Type of seeds: 1. Known seed type that requires fire. 2. Known seed that is killed by far. 3. Experimental/unknown seed. 
Fire treatments: 1. No fire. 2. Fire. 

You could potentially make this more complex (e.g. more types of known control seeds; more complex fire scenarios), but that should be enough to get you started.

It would be the equator
