Perennials are plants that usually live longer than two years. The hypothesis being tested was whether or not perennial life forms can be treated as plant functional groups. The method to determine this was by taking a series of quadrant samples on the White Mountains in Northern California to uncover common species. Eight species were selected for the study to compare ecophysiological differences and maximum photosynthetic capacity between these eight species. Although these species chosen were supposed to illustrate four different ecological life forms and also portray putative plant functional groups, the results depicted no definitive patterns of difference between categories of life forms in the alpine fellfield community.
In our experiment, we examined the behavior of isopods by conducting the experiment based on our hypothesis: “If ten isopods are put into the test chamber, 5 in sand and 5 in soil, which environment will the pillbug prefer.” We hypothesized that the isopods would favor the soil more than the sand because pillbugs are typically found in soil and not in sand. Pillbugs are favored in soil because the natural role of a pillbug is to eat dead and decaying things but, in sand there are no nutrients available for pillbugs. Pill bugs are mostly found in moist environments, due to having gills, gills only function when they are wet so pill bugs will inhabit places in which air holds a lot of water
Multiple plants, like red trillium and red pine, came from other regions so there is a lot of diversity in the GLSLL. Each plant contributes to the environment,
Where The Red Fern Grows: Novel vs Movie Essay Author, Wilson Rawls, wrote one of the most touching stories about a boy & his dogs in 1961 called “Where the Red Fern Grows”.

An unknown author once said, “All the hard work, all the sacrifices, all the sleepless nights, struggles, downfalls, it all pays off.” When the author said this quote, they meant that if you have a goal in life and you are trying to catch your dream.

Zoe In 1961, Wilson Rawls published a novel titled "Where the Red Fern Grows" during his early adult years. He wrote this novel based on his childhood when he lived in the Ozarks. Thirteen years later, a film based on the novel was released and directed by an American director named Norman Tokar. "Where the Red Fern Grows" is about a boy named Billy who lived in the Ozarks of Oklahoma and desired to have his own hunting dogs.
The name Redskins is seen as a derogatory and racial term traced back to the 18th century. It is found to be demeaning and offensive towards the Native Americans due to the history of the word. Some sources state that the term is in reference to when the Native Americans would paint their faces red, but others proclaim it's related to the scalping incidents. During the mid-19th century, authorities offered bounties for the scalps of Indians and referred to them as redskins. This issue has resurfaced once again as a dispute between the Washington Redskins and the Native Americans over the name of this certain National Football League team.
Something I learned about in Herbology 301 is healing. Healing is an important part of our life, which is why i wanted to write about it. Healing spells are needed in everyday life, and if we were to ask someone how many healing spells they 've used in their lifetime, the number would probably be too high to remember. I also learned that mental illnesses are not one-spell-cure-all diseases, which is very helpful to know.
Explain how the terms habitat and niche can be applied to the location of species within a given area.

As serious of smoking side effects getting popular, lots of people were concerned about their health. On the other hand, the promotion of the tobacco companies getting incredibly flexible to younger targets to hold the users longer period to use their tobaccos.

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.
Without the transpiration of trees, deforested areas become drier. Changes in weather and shelter cause deforested areas to undergo a tremendous loss of biodiversity. The scientist hasn’t even come close to testing 1% of the plants in the tropical rainforests for medicinal use, but they regularly discover species that are helpful to us the people. But, these forests and their potential benefits are looking like they may disappear by the end of this century if we don’t stop
Introduction Plants are a major necessity in the balance of nature, people’s lives, and our terrain. We may not realize it, but plants are the ultimate source of food for almost 95% of the world population so says the National Group of Food. It’s a fact that over 7,000 species of plants are being consumed today. Plants are one of the reasons that we get clean water; as they help regulate the water cycle.
