1. My past camping experiences have been quite minor, but I used to live out in the desert with lots of wilderness around
2. The area I’m in is a more desert biome, outside or by a school with a large patch of desert. The typical temperature is Hot and I would expect minor precipitation to fall there in the month of my visit. The soil type is dry dirt and is very dusty, as well as the area around me is very barren. I chose a site on a slope without a water drainage feature.
3. I expected to find lots of shrubs, cactus, bushes, and no grass. That is close to what I observed when I was there. I observed an Owl coming up out of a hole, and make a sound at me. Which I believed it to be a burrowing owl. In addition, I saw jumping cactus, barrel …show more content…
How does precipitation affect the different plants, around it compared to itself. Upon First observing, you will see that it is not affected as much as the other regular plants around it. Why could that be I wondered? My hypothesis is because it can store water when other regular bushes, shrubs, trees cannot. My prediction is that the other plants will look worse or will even die off if not enough precipitation was to occur. Then I would test it over time by watering some different amounts over a period of time. The results would vary as I would need to test this several times in order to get valid data.
14. It was private land that is not really protected in any way. One main reason my plant could go extinct could be from humans overdeveloping the area. Steps such as not allowing them to build here could be one step, or moving the plant to a safer more protected location. It would have an negative effect of not being a food source for certain species. We can take steps to not build so much and destroy so much natural habitat but to preserve it. Parks and preserves can be sufficient if run properly because some species can still even come under harm there if they are not watched or protected
