effects of run-off, evapotranspiration, and water penetration. Its common knowledge that vegetation needs water to grow and reproduce but on the steepest slopes the support for plant life is very low. Steep slopes produce high levels of soil erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure of sunlight on vegetation that can also vary growth outcomes. Slopes facing different directions may have similar precipitation…

nests can come from almost any broadleaf deciduous plant although rose, lilac, and Virginia creeper leaves are preferred (Serrano). Damage caused to ornamental plants such as these can cause leafcutter bees to be viewed as a pest. It is difficult to prevent damaging activities because the bees do not eat the leaves, which makes pesticides ineffective. The most effective method of hindrance is to lay a cheesecloth or another form of netting over the plant…

Plants that were not of the target species were recorded as “other”. Using the line-intercept method our target species were the Yaupon Holley, and Farkelberry shrubs. When we used the quadrat method our target species were the Little Bluestem, Sedge, and Chasmanthium. Lastly, when we used the point-center-quarter method, our target species were the Post Oak, Water Oak, Sycamore, and Honey Locus. White-Tailed Deer Sampling. In addition to plants, we also collected data on…

water into the flower. I also know that putting aspirin in the water it will help close the tips of the flowers and won't let bacteria get inside of the stem and kill the flower. Copper from the penny is an antibacterial agent and will keep the water clean from bacteria. Flowers like soil that is acidic…

like other butterflies, it serves as a pollinator. In this case, the Brenton Blue is a pollinator for its food plant, Indigo (scientific name Indigofera erecta). When the butterfly lands on the plant to feast on the nectar found within its pink flowers, the butterfly gets covered in the pollen that the plant produces. Then when the butterfly flies about and land on different Indigo plants, it pollinates them. The Brenton Blue butterfly also happens to lay its eggs on…

part of the day was spent contrasting the prairies we observed yesterday at Sherburne Wildlife Refuge with the newly restored prairie at Audubon. Historically, the new prairie was an old agricultural field; the team removed the old plants, sprayed to remove the plants, burned off the older vegetation and then replanted with specific species. Bur oaks were planted to model the savannah. Their plantings are hoped to attract a couple of species in particular including the red-headed woodpecker,…

The fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana has a wide host range and observed on cereals, barley, rice, rye, wheat etc. and many non-cereal grasses across the world (Jones 1983). Forty-five plant genera that include Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Lineace and Solanaceae were reported to be prone to this pathogen including Poae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Linaceae and Solanaceae (Harding 1979 ). 1.3.2.3. Symptoms of common root rot (CRR) Because of the difficulty to diagnose the disease as the above ground…

than 50 am of rain falls in deserts per year. The latitude range is 15 to 28 degrees north and south of the equator and covers about a fifth of the earth’s surface. Plats that can survive there have adapted to lack of water by having stores in their stems and leaves. That is how a lot of animals can find enough water to survive on. The soil is very dry and sandy but tends to be nutrient rich as it is only lacking in water and does not have much vegetation using the other nutrients. They can be…

of the year, but does not need to completely saturated year round. A wetland can be seasonally flooded (Tiner). The wetlands in Indiana perform a vital role in water purification and some general flood protection. A part for these roles a diverse plant group is adapted and more prevalent among wetlands. Wetlands are a complicated part of the ecosystem and come in a multitude of different forms. Swamps for example are dominated by woody species, and have two more specific classifications, shrub…
