    The reading passage indicates that three kinds of damage caused by “let it burn”policy. However,the speaker in the listening disagrees with the reading by setting the following three points. First of all,the writer in the reading suggests that the fire caused damage to the park’s trees and vegetation.

    Haida Gwaii is often referred to as the “The Canadian Galapagos” with over 6800 species of flora and fauna and presence of more unique subspecies than any other areas in Canada of equal size (Gaston, Golumbia, Martin & Sharpe, 2008). Haida Gwaii is located 80 km west of the mainland of British Columbia and is the largest and most isolated archipelago located on the west coast of Canada (Stockton, Allombert, Gaston & Martin, 2005). As the archipelago is within close proximity of the Pacific Ocean, the climate is a cool temperate, oceanic, humid to perhumid type that is largely moderated by movement of moist air masses off the Pacific Ocean (Banner et al, 2014). This climate gives rise to a temperate rainforest biome, which results in a plant…

    The purpose of this lab is to examine cross sections from the leaves of C3 and C4 plants and to determine the morphological differences between them while relating those differences to their metabolism. In C3 plants the carbon dioxide is first incorporated into a 3-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place throughout the mesophyll cells. In comparison C4 plants, the CO2 is first incorporated into a 4-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place within the inner cells.…

    The CREW Marsh trails are composed of four ecosystems: pine flatwoods, marsh, pop ash slough, and hammock. Each of these ecosystems have different soils and vegetation. The first trail that I took was the Pine Flatwood trail. I found that the ground was flat and sandy, and there were little to no puddles or mud on the ground. As the name of the trail suggested, the majority of the trees in this ecosystem were tall pines, though I did see some palm trees.…

    Conservation Biology is a vital component of the wildlife and natural resources field of work. Increasingly it has shaped my professional interests and career choices over the last several years as its importance is made clear by mounting threats to biodiversity and ecosystem balance. Without the ideology and practices developed in the field of conservation biology many of the species we consider common today would have easily gone extinct in the early 20th century due to a lack of well-considered wildlife management. However, there are many components to achieving the goals of conservation biology. Research, management, and policy are where change is made to help wildlife.…

    Fire is very much a natural part of the ecological cycle. Some specific species of trees and plants rely on fires to provide conditions for seed germination. This is a process called serotiny, an adaption exhibited by some seed plants to release their seeds following exposure to heat (Lamont, 1991). Although birds are vulnerable to fires while nesting, they can often benefit from prey fleeing from a fire (Gosford, 2015). In the period immediately following a wildfire deer, moose, and elk thrive from enhanced growth of low-lying shrubbery (Forgacs, 1998).…
