tall. The circumference determines the size and can be used to determine the diameter which can be used to determine the age of the tree through secondary growth. These measurements can be used to compare the correlation between age and size of a tree since the oldest tree should have a larger diameter in comparison with a smaller tree, therefore if the age of a tree is higher than the diameter of a tree should be larger and vice versa. The result collected is only a portion of the large forest therefore the data pool is not large enough to support the hypothesis. The experiment will help answer if the upslope and downslope forest are off different
They used charts, lists, pictures, data, predictions, and experiments to learn this information. This could be useful for many people who want to keep their plants
This table represents all the species from three different taxa at the depths of 2, 3, and 4 meters. We examined the data from those three depths because that’s the region where there was a uniform temperature of 23 degrees Celsius. 12/19 taxa were selected because they showed counts at all three depths. Once I narrowed it down to 12/19 taxa I then used my non-statistical approach that states if there isn’t a 2-fold increase from the lowest number of taxa to the highest number of taxa they aren’t considered to show an uneven distribution. 11/12 of the taxa showed an uneven distribution where we would expect passive plankters to have even
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,
“Birnam Wood”, by T. Coraghessan Boyle, portrays the unfolding relationship between Keith and Nora, as they struggle through the times they had with each other. During a rainy day in September, Keith and Nora expresses their frustrations with their financial and current housing situations. In the middle of their misery, a friend of Keith rang them, suggesting a house sitting for an elderly couple residing at Birnam Wood. They take the offer and are awestruck by the place, savouring every moment the had with each other. Nora finally picks up a job as a hostess allowing Keith to meet Steve, an unhesitant guy who barged into their lives, going as far as to show up at Birnam Wood.
It was a late and rainy October night. Three kids at the age of 10 wanted to go on a journey to Ash Forest. They told their parents that they were having a sleepover that night. They left after the parents were asleep at 12:00am. When they arrived at Ash Forest, a loud whistling sound with strong wind came from the trees.
There are cities, like Philadelphia, that as time passes they start to grow in size and population as a result they have to create recreational places. As years go by, people start to interact more in recreational places until they become a cosmopolitan canopy. According to the book “The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility in Everyday Life” by Elijah Anderson, a cosmopolitan canopy is a place that provides opportunities for new relationships to develop and where people come together to socialize and practice getting along with others. In this reading, Anderson also explains that a cosmopolitan canopy is not just created by the place itself or by the diversity of ethnicity, gender, and social class in and around it but also by the “goodwill that is expressed and experienced by most who enter these premises” (Anderson 11). Personally, I agree with Anderson because in order for something to become a cosmopolitan canopy, there has to be difference on the people in it.
One can see both the lack of independence and freedom to experiment within the Grape family structure (Goldenberg et al., 2017).
10. Describe and explain the distribution of the following biomes: Tropical rainforest, monsoon rainforest, tropical savannah, desert, temperate deciduous and high altitude and latitude tundra, including
The soil had visibly changed from a moist black organic soil to a much dryer lighter in color sandy consistency. The canopy changed as well, more oaks and elm trees were present and the buttressing of the tree trunks was significantly reduced. The magnolia tree was also starting to be introduced into the area, another indicator that the habitat was moving away from the wetter locations. The cabbage palm, being the primary species of understory is fairly easy to locate in the temperate hardwood habitat. This plant covered the forest floor and seemed to act a divider between the pine flatwoods and
Another interesting fact is that Canada is home for 180 tree’s species. This paper will discuss
An important part of cultural life in Cedar Rapids is the Museum of Art, with 5,000 works of art under its roof. The museum houses the world 's largest collection of works by Grant Wood, Marvin Cone, and Mauricio Lasansky. They also have strong collections of early twentieth century paintings, Malvina Hoffman sculptures, and Regionalist art from the 1930s and 1940s. In 2003 Cedar Rapids also became home to the African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa. While the City of Cedar Rapids was incorporated in 1849, it operated under the Commission Form of Government from April 6, 1908 through Dec 31, 2005.
The yearly repetition of different sizes in growth rings are very useful in ecological studies through dendrochronology. Since the size of vessel elements and tracheid are dependent on air temperature and water, dendrochronology professionals, can determine past droughts, floods, and intense heat or cold, by studying different growths and width of rings. Vessel elements and tracheid have different lengths between angiosperms and gymnosperms. The length of individual cells do not make that much of a difference, a tree’s ability to conduct water. The length of these cells are mostly important and needed for the paper industry.
According to the text, Kepler's laws are three statements that describe the paths of planets and other objects orbiting the sun, and the moons orbiting the planets. The first law says "The orbit of each planet around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus." This means that the path all of the planets take in their orbit around the sun is in the shape of an ellipse or an oval rather than a perfect circle. The second law says "A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time," meaning that a planet's speed decreases as it moves away from the sun and increases as it moves toward the sun. The third law says "The square of a planet's sidereal period around the Sun is directly proportional to the
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.
