Recommended: Spread of dieback by bell miners
Introduction The Arizona Copper Miner strike of 1983 began on July 1 when negotiations failed between labor unions and the Phelps Dodge Corporation. Shortly after the strike began, Phelps Dodge was granted an injunction restricting Strikers presence on and up to the line. The result of this was the presence of women on the line. These women became the face of the great strike. For purposes of this essay, I will examine the conflict at the root of the strike.
The forested areas of the park were made up of mostly White Oaks. There was a vast difference is the age and size of the trees as there were few mature trees, but a large number of younger 3”-6” in diameter oaks, ash, and other trees. Though it was fall, “die back” could be seen on many of the trees with areas of peeling bark, large sections of dead limbs, and sections of the trunk experiencing rot. The bushes and woody vines that were protected from the canopy of the larger trees still held onto green
By cutting down trees, many eco-systems get destroyed and many animals will not survive. I have noticed how this process occurs a lot in Florida. The Florida Everglades once compromised most of the state, and due to human development almost half
“One or two of theses were actual fugitives from justice, some were criminal, and all were reckless”, stated Bret Harte as he portrayed a picture of all the miners in Roaring Camp (pg. 1483). Before the birth of the baby, the miners in the community did not care to what happened to both, their own community and the people living in it. Most of the miners had incredibly un-reputable backgrounds and all of them were just working in the mining town to become rich, which further helps explain their lack of care for themselves, each other and their community. The birth of the baby or as stated in the book the “lucky baby” brought a sudden change in the miners and the community. The birth of the baby changed Roaring Camp from being just a mining town to an actual caring community.
Introduction Northern Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus) are one of the most influential and important game animals in America. Their popularity has been the driving force behind conservation, research, and even local economic prosperity. The hunting associated with these birds has become a “southern tradition” since these hunts are typically social events. Currently the bobwhite quail is undergoing a long term population decline which has prompted even more conservation efforts and research. Bobwhite quail are extremely sensitive to habitat quality which has recently been used to promote conservation based land management practices.
In 1871 British Columbia joined confederation and was the 6th province to be apart of the country known as “Canada”. “On July 20, 1871, British Columbia entered Confederation as our sixth province, extending the young Dominion of Canada to the Pacific Ocean.” (http://www.canadahistoryproject.ca/1871/ ) One of the main reasons B.C. was able to join Canada, was because of the Fraiser River Gold Rush. This was when 30,000 miners from the United States came to British Columbia to get in on the gold rush.
This article included many information such as,“Clapper rail survival patterns were consistent with hybrid Spartina providing increased refuge cover from predators during tidal extremes which flood native vegetation, particularly during the winter when the vegetation senescence” (Invasive Species…). We know that the most important factor that affects the clapper rail’s population is their surrounding, in order to help them we must start by removing invasive plants and replace it with plants that is helpful. The increase in invasive plants decrease the amount of spaces in which the clapper rail can build their nest, it causes many birds to die because of the lack of habitats. The invasive plants can also kill the harmless plants by taking away their nutrient, and it might take away all the possible space for nests. We can change this by replacing the invasive plants with harmless plants and even build nests for clapper
“During three months in the summer of 1848, a partnership of five miners collected $75,000 in gold” (Gillon 64). During the mid 1800s, people in America moved west for a fresh start in life or for cheaper land, this was called manifest destiny. Manifest destiny was the belief that the United States should expand from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the gold rush had more of a positive effect on America because it created a flouring economy and had more people travel west for a new life or jobs.
By the reason that Crater Lake is home of the, “protected species like northern spotted owls and red tree voles” (Juillerat, OBP). Clear cutting trees will most likely destroy and affect the habitats of the spotted owls, red tree voles, and other birds. Both the spotted owls, red tree voles, and other bird species will suffer the most because their habitats remain in trees. Specifically the endangered spotted owl who enjoy nesting, “on broken treetops, ledges of cliffs, natural tree cavities, stick platforms in a tree, caves, and often in abandoned hawk or mammal nests. Nest sites are located where the proportion of old growth and mature forest habitat is great” (Crater Lake Institute).
The bird formally known as Western flycatcher was divided into two species in 1989 by the American Ornithologists’ Union Committee on Classification and Nomenclature: Pacific-slope Flycatcher which occupies the coastal region of Western North America and Cordilleran Flycatcher which resides the inland regions. However, Rush, Cannings and Irwin (2009) revealed a contact zone with hybridization between these two species in Southwestern Canada, which might indicate that they are actually one species instead of two. The two western flycatcher populations remain as distinct species because of genetic variation, possible reproductive isolation and the community integrity of each species except for the hybrid zone. In terms of evolutionary genetics, the two Western Flycatcher populations are two species.
Argue for or against a resolution in Congress to create as national monument for those who moved to the West in the 1850s and 1860s, also known as pioneers. The discovery of gold in the Sacramento area in early 1848 started the Gold Rush, which is one of the most significant events that shaped American history during that time. Thousands of prospective gold miners, mostly men, traveled by sea or over land to San Francisco and the surrounding area in search of wealth. Whatever the motivation, the pioneer men and women endured tremendous hardships and sacrificed a great deal to settle in the West Coast. For this reason, I feel that Congress should create a national monument for the pioneers who moved to the West in the 1850s and 1860s.
What is courage? Courage is not afraid of failure. Courage is admitting mistakes, learn from failure. Courage is stay away from fear, and dare to challenges. The most important of courage is have the courage to give up what you already have because only when you have the courage of letting go then you get the second chance of having it again.
Not only did the trees provide the area with beauty, but the animals needed them to survive. When the Onceler cut down the trees, he destroyed their food source and habitats, forcing
The Wild West really was as violent as they said .cattle, cowboys and the Great Plains. But Hollywood did not define it as it really was back in the 1800s… it was only their stories. Railroads, mines, Cowtown’s and Indian wars just some terrors of the untamed west. Gold explosives and a chance of land and a better life all seemed appropriate for death rates to be so high especially in bondie ca.
Another relationship in the Daintree Rainforest is parasitism between the Strangler Fig(Ficus aurea) and its host tree. The Strangler Fig is the one that's being benefited in this relationship because the host tree ends up losing its nutrients since it gets wrapped around by the Strangler Fig which blocks off light that is used for photosynthesis. The roots of the Strangler Fig also compete with its host tree for water and nutrients, so as it grows the roots gets thicker and blocks off all water and nutrients(Schaffner, 1). This can even end up causing the host tree to
