The mountain meadow just below the dam was obliterated by the rushing water, which resulted in the loss of trees, shrubs, and geogrid trails.

The beach has three major parts: beach face, berm and back beach. The area above the water, including the intertidal zone, is known as the beach berm. Beach berm can include vegetation, such as trees, shrubs, or grasses. The most familiar characteristic of a beach berm is its type of sand or rock (Marinebio.net, 2014). Along the backshore, accumulations of wind-blown sand may form sand dunes, and when these are sufficiently stable they become consolidated by a characteristic dune vegetation, for…

Cranberries are an extremely popular American fruit that are commercially grown for the consumption of people. They are grown on low reaching shrubs or on vines that can grow up to two meters, and are harvested mostly in the fall specifically during the months October through December (6). Cranberries have been labeled as a “super fruit” due to their high nutritional value and properties as antioxidants (5). The food industry uses cranberries in a variety of products such as sauce, jam, and…

The Galapagos Islands are located 727 miles straight west of the country of Ecuador. They were discovered accidentally by Tomas de Berlanga, the first Bishop of Panama. He drifted off course and ended up there while travelling from Panama to Peru. He was not overly impressed with what he found due to the lack of fresh water and their inability to sustain their stay. There was not much interest in the Islands for many years, until, however, Charles Darwin found the “Mystery of Mysteries,” the…

Rhizophora mangle the red plague Mangroves are a predominant form of vegetation that can be found in intertidal zones of tropical estuaries, lagoons, sheltered shorelines and in subtropical coastlines (Allen, 1998). Mangroves are trees and shrubs that have adapted to living in saltwater environments. They are propped up, out of the water, by dense, tangled roots that allow them to obtain oxygen in oxygen poor sediments. Their roots also allow the tree to remain supported during the rise and…

species as the forest develops. After a disturbance the forest starts to grow back, either primary or secondary succession is how the forest initially begins to develop, but both In both have moss and grass then other species come, other herbs and shrubs grow taller then grass and take the sunlight creating competition, then small wooded plants then trees. When everything grows in there’s a climax species, a species that grow in the shade of the parent trees, securing their superiority…

Recycling is one way to reduce the waste taken to landfills. Recycling is also the process we use to reuse recovered items. In my household, we recycle aluminum cans, glass, newspapers, plastic bottles, and magazines because I care about the environment. Recycling is good for the environment because it conserves our natural resources, it saves energy, and it reduces pollution. The problem is that we need to convince the community to recycle more than they are doing. We need to convince…
