Shrub

Planting more shrubbery and allowing snags to form in small wetland areas like Orchard Hill, would improve habitat for green herons. Large areas like Sylvan Woods and Northwest are sufficiently forested. An increase in shrubs and small trees can provide more nesting areas for green herons. The growth of woody shrubbery also provide more branches for herons to perch on to hunt for food like minnows. Wetland (reconstruction) can be incorporated into the UMass Landscape Architecture…

weeds, but first you need to get rid of any existing weeds. Do – use a base material, such as landscape fabric, under the mulch to block any unwanted weeds. You should cut proper holes in the base material before mulching if you’re wanting any plants, shrubs or trees in the area. Don’t – assume all…

Kaibab Plateau for the dear at the beginning was about 45,000. ‘ Once the population passed K it would not be able to sustain itself. This is due to an imbalance in the ecosystem. An increase in deer population would cause a decrease in the grasses, shrubs, and trees. This would cause the deer to eventually die out because there will not be enough food to sustain the high deer population. The deer population had the highest reproductive growth rate between 1920 and 1923. In 1905 the Kaibab…

Many people have questions about whether their neighbors can block access to their solar panels with shading or not. In the Solar Panels vs Trees case, the tree blocking the solar panels from the direct sunlight. Mr. Treanor and Mr. Vargas both are environmentally friendly. “ In terms of loving the environment, it seems that neither one can top the other”. Once it comes down to the decision of cutting the trees for the solar panels to absorb the sunlight, Mr. Vargas seems to have the upper hand…

The Smoky Mountains are home to a wide variety of plants. The Great Smoky Mountains national park is over 800 square miles, and throughout this vast space is found a large diversity of plants. The national park is over 95% forested, and is sometimes referred to as the “wildflower national park”. While over 12,000 plant species have been discovered in the park, there is evidence that there may be as many as 90,000 unfound species. The range of elevations throughout the Smoky Mountains makes it a…

and on top are rings of yellow-green or red blossoms. Native Americans used to boil them into cabbage-like stews. They would also grind up the pulp and extract the water. Another plant native to deserts is the brittle bush. IT is a small deciduous shrub which grows as a low roundish mound 2-5 ft high. The branches sprout from woody trunks. On the branches are leaves about 1-4 inches long that are covered in a thick mat of short hairs. They act as an insulator against the heat by trapping…

The plants would need to be native to that ecosystem otherwise they won’t do well and could possibly die. There would need to be native trees and shrubs and plant native types of grass, rushes and sedges. Like the trees and shrubs, these need to be native to the ecosystem. Some advantages of replanting the area by and/or around the creek are that it has a natural look that could possibly look attractive. It also increases the amount of…

Have you ever had maple syrup in the morning, with your either pancakes or waffles? Well if you have had maple syrup on anything, have you ever thought where it comes from? It comes from sap and that's what I am writing about. I picked this subject because I have always wondered where maple syrup came from.

Darwin had a belief that animals don’t have a sense of right or wrong, unlike us humans. He stated “Of all differences between man and the lower animal, man’s sense of moral conscience is by far the most important.” This statement is not true. Animals like humans have decisions to make throughout life, it is not like they do to their free will, and live without decisions. In the world of humans, yes there is more decision making, and right or wrong moves. Animals are constantly in a survival…
