The swampland was dense, and packed with reeds and foliage of all sorts. The water was teal-green, and the trees hung low. The stars shone bright in the cold night; the moon in full swing. A small Snake slithered out from behind a large granite rock. A Panda, seemingly unaware of the slimy reptile, pranced about in the grasses. A turquoise Swan was silently observing from the lake, floating through the mossy water. The big Panda was now rolling about, enjoying the luxury of the night. The Snake was

Coontie is a seed plant (gymnosperm). It doesn’t produce any type of flowers or fruits, it just produces plain old seeds. It belongs to the phylum cycadophyta (cycads) and is the only cycad native to Florida. It is known to be a “living fossil”. Also they are dioecious, meaning that they have separate male and female plants and produce either male or female cones. The sex of young plants can not be determined until the cones become mature plants. Slender male cones are about three to seven inches

Michigan consists of three different biomes; coniferous forest, deciduous forest, as well as the savanna. Most of lower Michigan is considered to be deciduous forest because it consists of a lot of deciduous trees. To be a deciduous tree it means that in fall they lose their leaves and go dormant in the winter. The northern lower peninsula as well as the upper peninsula is considered to be coniferous forest which means that they have long cold winters as well as short cool summers. Grand Rapids

To Pine Over the Pines: An examination of the Heart of Maine When looking out upon the vast pine forests of Maine, consider that you are not looking at bark, or even a tree, but the heart of a living breathing landscape. To say this, one would be considering the trees themselves as a kind of physical pump, one that would be providing blood flow to a body and making them the center of an evolving landscape. This is indeed the case, as the history of this area tells of how nature formed a rich landscape

It was a cold night, the moon peeking out from behind the clouds. Fireflies twinkled through the sky like stars, the only color in the gray scale forest. A young boy, Dipper as he went by, chased after them, laughing merrily, either not noticing that the world was only grays and blacks, or just not caring. He stopped, a slight smile on his face as he cupped his hands. He made a tiny crack, and peeked through to see if he was lucky enough to score one of the tiny lights. But they were empty. He frowned

Both Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) and red alder (Alnus ruba Bong) use seeds as a method of reproduction. Gymnosperms, such as Douglas-fir, have “naked” seeds (i.e. no fruit), while angiosperms, such as red alder, usually have seeds in fruit (catkins for red alder). Douglas-fir and red alder have seeds that use wings, signifying the use of the wind as a method of seed dispersal. Both trees have seeds than are covered in a seed coat and have nutrient reserves. Gymnosperms

Fossils are especially noticeable near the Turkey Path, in Leonard Harrison State Park and in the creek itself. The highway bridge along RT. 6 is pretty in all seasons. We pass under it. The “Blue Moon” at pre-dawn one morning at the confluence of Pine Creek and Marsh Creek. Mile 8.0 (Mile 8.0) South of the highway bridge, we get our first look at Pine Creek. Pine Creek and Marsh Creek merge and head south. This is a particularly tranquil section of the Pine Creek Trail. Look for eagles in

The summertime are faintly heated and the winter seasons are bitterly cool. Snow storms are typical year long. The area also has a lot of ultra violet light. This are is inhabited by animals such as the Great blue Windrunner, a blue bird with four wings for flight and can fly with a couple of them while asleep. They feed mainly on Silver spiders, a large colonial spider that hunts Poggles which are also found in that area. Poggles are believed to be the last surviving mammals on the earth at that

See, here’s the trunk - it’s red and split wide open, full of sap, and this here’s the parting for the branches.You got a mighty lot of branches. Leaves, too, look like, and dern if these ain’t blossoms. Tiny little cherry blossoms just as white. Your back got a whole tree on it. In bloom. What God have in mind, I wonder.” (Page 79) Over the course of reading the novel Beloved, I came across a fascinating

Old growth forests are rare to come by, especially in the United States. The Camillus Unique Forest Area, located in northeastern New York, has many characteristics of an old growth forest. It is unclear how old the forest actually is, as the tree species that reside there have a life span of 100-200 years. This could mean that the forest is thousands of years old, with hundreds of generations of these species, or only a few hundred years old, with the first generation just reaching maturity. Either

Over the past two decades the pine forests of Western North America have experienced major changes due to the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic that began in 1995. Mountain Pine Beetles are insect parasites that use trees as their hosts in order to mate and lay eggs. After the larva becomes a beetle, the tree is killed and the next generation of beetles set out to find another pine tree and the cycle repeats. Environmentalists have proven the changes in the lifecycle of the pine beetle to be directly correlated

Oak trees have a very long and diverse history. Oak wood is very unique and valuable. Wood has been around for about four hundred million years. The oak tree is a part of the Fagceae family, the Quercus kingdom, the Fagales order, and the Plantae kingdom. There are approximately six hundred different species of oak trees. Northern Oak, White Oak, Black Oak, and Chestnut Oak are just a few examples of the many different species of oak trees. Some oak trees only grow to be shrubs. Others grow to be

The Kennesaw State Arboretum is spilt from an upslope and a downslope which was examined to seeing the difference in age and size of the hardwood and pine trees. The variation of age and size can be due to changes in the progressive changes in the tree species over time. This was tested by measuring pine and hardwood trees in 2 different areas of the forest, upslope and downslope, collecting tree data with at least 25cm circumference and 10 ft. tall in 5 different plots of 100 m2. The data describes

A gust of wind pushed up against treeline, sending twigs, leaves, and branches flying. The rain was coming down in sheets, making it nearly impossible to see. Three men took shelter behind whatever they could from the element: rocks, trees, and sometimes each other to avoid debris and rain. The three aimlessly walked, trying to find anything that could lead them back to their path. Everyone pointed fingers and blamed the other two, criticizing everyone and everything but themselves.

I did my science project on forestry. The goal of this project was to determine which fertilizers preformed the best when growing pine trees in containers during the cool season. My hypothesis is I thought that the liquid and root hormone fertilizer was going to be the most help growing fertilizer. The other fertilizer that I thought was going to do good was the nursery special. I thought that these 2 fertilizers were going to do good because, the liquid hormone one sounds like it would
