The grassland had almost met it's climax community full of biotic and abiotic factors.One day, a nearby river flooded my biome. A scary storm made the river overflow. Luckily, all of our soil was still in tact. That means my biome will only have to go through secondary

    Emma Marris presents us with a new way of viewing nature in the first chapter of her book, “Rambunctious Garden”. She explains that the definition of nature depicted in our “glossy magazines” describing a place “somewhere distant, wild and free” is incorrect, as it “blinds us” from the truth (Marris 1). Marris argues that we must adjust this definition to also include the nature found in “the bees whizzing down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan” and “the butterfly bushes that grow alongside the urban river” as well as the nature found in “managed national parks” (Marris 2). She uses experiences gained during her time spent in the forests of Hawaii and in Australia’s Scotia Sanctuary as evidence to support her argument. Marris also makes the point…

    Loughberry Lake Lab Report

    Phosphorous was the limiting nutrient in the lake, because it had the most growth even when it was paired with nitrogen. Our data was proven to be statistically significant. The nutrient levels also categorized Loughberry Lake as mesotrophic, and we found that historically, the lake had been oligotrophic in the 80’s and eutrophic in the early 2000’s. This change in trophic states shows the effect that cultural eutrophication can have, and that within a few decades an aquatic ecosystem can be changed rapidly. It is important to recognize the limiting nutrient in the system, but even more importantly, we must recognize our own roles in how we affect our water resources.…

    SeaWorld is a multi-million dollar corporation that serves as home for 23 of arguably some of the oceans’ most beautiful creatures. Blackfish is trying to change that with a very captivating argument. Although emotionally compelling, Blackfish is an invalid argument against captivity, It offers a solution and demonstrates practicality, which makes it an argument of policy.

    Everglades have been around for thousands of years before any human settlement; “The Sea of Grass” has a delicate and critical ecosystem with influence on not just flora and fauna but also for humans residing there. Primarily a subtropical wetland, the everglades region is part of a lager watershed with its unique niche containing several plants and animals exclusive to it.

Because of its nutrient deprived environment in general, the species which evolved in this area have low nutrient consumption and can survive on occasionally excess water supply…

    While researching various web pages and articles regarding my place and prominence in society, I uncovered words and phrases such as “poverty stricken,” “desperate,” and “struggling.” The most compelling discovery I made, was that these words were also paired with other degrading, heinous remarks in relation to the lower middle class society. As far as low class is concerned, I never considered the actuality of my status or social construction. Upon further analysis and class discussions, I came into recognition of my own social placement. Due to my humble upbringing and simplistic lifestyle, the appropriate category for my social class would be in the lower middle area.…
