young colts leading to higher probability of fledging. We will also determine what impacts, if any, this drawdown will have on other avian species such as sandhill cranes and secretive marsh birds which may act as an indicator species in relation to wetland ecosystem quality (Conway 2009). METHODOLOGY Cranes In this study we will compare the impacts of water control and vegetation management on crane colt survival rates. We will look at both whooping crane and sandhill crane colt survival…

In the Panhandle of Florida, Okaloosa County is a place where the Earth Team volunteer program supports the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to assist the local service center activities. Nearly 25 years ago, District Conservationist Darryl Williams agreed to allow Linda Johnson to map the West Baker Gully project for emergency funding. This encounter began a lasting relationship between Williams and Johnson and he gained her as a member of the volunteer Earth Team. If you want…

keeping the alligators safe. Alligators control long-term vegetation dynamics in the wetlands by reducing the population of mammals. These animals would overgraze the Everglades and kill the marsh vegetation. Since these Alligators are such a big part of the environment, it may help to reduce coastal wetland losses in Louisiana. They also help protect water birds while they nest on islands in freshwater wetlands because they reduce the amount of predators that will reach the island by feeding on…

Some natural disasters overwhelm the management capabilities of authorities, agencies, individuals, businesses, and of many others. When such incidents strike, they cause several casualties among humans and or indescribable damages to properties, and worse, some of the destructions they engender can never be repaired. After the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 which was a human-caused disaster, Hurricane Katrina inflicted in 2005 human losses, damages to goods and properties, and other…

Caroni Swamp which is the largest wetland ecosystem on the western coast of Trinidad. The swamp covers six thousand (6000) hectares and consists of fifty-six percent (56%) of the mangrove on the island. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a wetland is “an area of land that is saturated with water.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have categorized wetlands as marine, estuarine, riverine, lacustrine and palustrine. Wetlands are beneficial in a…

An ecosystem can be defined as a community of abiotic and biotic organisms interacting with their environment. All ecosystems function in a state of dynamic equilibrium which is the product of the interrelationship of the elements of an ecosystem: atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Ecosystems become at risk when they endure amounts of interactions and stress which exceed its carrying capacity. In order to counteract this, ecosystems must be managed effectively. Management can be…

spill into lake superior which is some of the most persist and clean water here is America. The DNR would need to further be inspect where the mine would be placed due to big areas of plants and forest that are nearby. Too many areas that contain wetland, farms, forests, and lakes that you could effect.…

Aquatic ecosystems, such as wetlands, streams, and lakes, are especially sensitive to changes in water quality and quantity. Although water cycle is important for survival of all the forms of life on earth, flow of water over and beneath the earth is a key component of the cycling of…

incorporates keeping construction waste out of landfills, soil reuse, install green roofs etc. The major points covered by SAM is as follows: 1. Restoration of Wetlands Restoration of wastelands in Chicago is very important as it will improve water quality, create a habitat for wildlife and reducing the emission of carbon-di-oxide. There are eight major wetlands identified by CDA for…
