CLIMATIC FACTORS AFFECTING PLANT GROWTH The climatic factors include rainfall and water, light, temperature, relative humidity, air, and wind. They are a biotic components, including topography and soil, of the environmental factors that influence plant growth and development.
Rainfall is the most common form of precipitation. It is the falling of water in droplets on the surface of the Earth from clouds. Other forms of precipitation are freezing rain, sleet or ice pellets, snowfall, and hail. The amount and regularity of rainfall vary with location and climate types and affect the dominance of certain types of vegetation as well as crop growth and yield.
• Light
Light is a climatic factor that is essential in the production of chlorophyll and in photosynthesis, the process by which plants manufacture food in the form of sugar (carbohydrate). Other plant processes that are enhanced or inhibited by this climatic factor include stomata movement, phototropism, photo morphogenesis, translocation, mineral absorption, and abscission.
• Temperature
The degree of hotness or coldness of a substance is called temperature. It is commonly expressed in degree Celsius or centigrade (C) and degree Fahrenheit (F). This climatic factor in uences all plant growth processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, breaking of seed dormancy, seed germination, protein synthesis, and translocation. At high temperatures the translocation of
Physical properties which include physiological and environmental signals such as temperature, humidity, and amount of sunlight. The interaction parameter associated with both the computing and
The most important result from this experiment is that it suggested that the increase of Carbon Dioxide, will drastically increase the growth mountain maple in the covered (from the sun) parts in a forest, in the meantime any increase in the temperature of the soil will nullify the increase of light, as we know is to be the main ingredient for photosynthesis.

Water is constantly moving and changing through a process called the water cycle. The sun heats bodies of water on earth causing evaporation. After the air currents carry the water vapor into the air, it condenses and forms clouds. When cloud particles grow and collide they form precipitation; this
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see how long it takes for the 10 spinach leaf discs to undergo photosynthesis and thereby rise in the two solutions.
Hypothesis: All of the leaf discs in the sodium bicarbonate solution should be floating before the discs in plain water because the bicarbonate is a carbon source that will allow photosynthesis to continue.
Background: Light is absorbed by leaf pigments (chlorophyll) which makes electrons within a photosystem moved to a higher energy level.
Each chapter in this book connects to temperature in some way. Temperature is changed drastically because of winds and air pressure which was discussed in Chapter 6. It is also altered because of things like air masses or the circulation of the atmosphere. We learned about weather forecasting in Chapter 12 which involves the forecasting of temperatures. Precipitation can come with different temperatures as well as storms and
Based on these results, it is hypothesized that if the amount of topsoil increases by 25% then plant growth increases because topsoil contains essential nutrients required for proper plant
There are many different types of climates and landscapes in different parts of the United States. Some regions might have freezing temperatures and damp forests. Other regions might have blistering temperatures and dry deserts. We will discuss the similarities and differences of the climate and landscape between Florida and Massachusetts.
In Florida and Massachusetts, the average temperature in the summer is 82 degrees.
Climate within different geographic areas are the common weather patterns of a specific area and some causes of climate within different geographic areas are the temperature of that area and geographic features such as bodies of water or mountains. Bodies of water like an ocean can create cooler ocean breezes that can affect the climate of that area.
5. What is a biome and what causes biome regions?
Climate includes the patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons.
What is climate change?
• Climate change is the change in the usual weather found in a place. This could be a change in how much rain a place gets in a year or it could be a change in the usual temperature of a place.
• Climate change is also a change
These plants need temperature ranging from 65 F to 80 F to grown. A you progress from left to right starting from green color area the rate of perception increase so the most ideal area to plant cool season plants would be any area in the purple as the temperature is 65 to 70 F and the annual rainfall is above 50 inches.
Area colored in dark green, light blue and magenta would be optimal environment for growing warm season plants like melons, tomato, pepper and squash [3]. The Minimum temperature needed to grow warm season plant is 60 F but to have the best crop yield the temperature has to be 86 F. The temperature in these area is above 70 degrees.
The change in thermal energy of a substance means a change in its temperature. Hot substances have high thermal energy while cold substances have low thermal energy. You can actually see this in water. Let’s say you are making spaghetti. You fill the pot with cool water and set it on the stove, the water is not really
Photosynthesis and Respiration:
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are the two main processes carry out by most living organisms to attain energy. Whereas photosynthesis is performed by most plants that can make their own food, most animals achieve their energy necessities through cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis:
Light-dependent Reactions and Light-independent Reactions or dark reactions or Calvin Cycle are the stages of chemical reactions during the process of photosynthesis.
Light Reactions:
Introduction:
In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.
The bond and love between two sisters seem to be everlasting and incomparable. Having each other’s back and company are all that matters and the ever-showing of care and support are beyond sincerity. However, in the novel In Search of April Raintree by Beatrice Mosionier, this is not the case between two sisters, Cheryl and April Raintree. Both Cheryl and April are born-Metis residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba who are a victim of their parents’ shortcomings and addictions. As a result, they are taken away from the hands of their parents to live in different foster homes and apart from each other.
