additional eight inches of rain fell but in a very short period of time. This amount of rain within such a short period of time resulted in a flood of unprecedented proportions for the South Carolina Botanical Garden. The devastation that occurred to the plants, animals, and grounds was of unfathomable proportions. The implausible amount of rain overwhelmed the Duck Pond and caused the water to breach the dam. The newly installed Natural Heritage Garden Trail received the brunt of the raging…

Research has shown that urine helps plants best when diluted with purified water; this is likely due to the fact that urine contains chemicals that would halt (or at the very least, slow down considerably) important processes within the plant. Such processes include, but are certainly not limited to, transpiration and photosynthesis, inarguably the two most vital activities performed within the plant. Transpiration occurs when plants lose water vapor through the guard cells and stomata;…

Plants and animals have made changes in their habitats as they have transitioned from water environments to land environments. This alteration requires the organisms to adapt to their new environments in order to survive and reproduce. These evolutionary transitions eventually led up to alterations in means of respiration, ways to prevent water loss, water dependent reproduction, and structural transformations. Amphibians evolved into reptiles and eventually into birds and mammals, being able to…

control group for two hours. The seeds in groups of three in 6” x 6” pots containing a doubly autoclaved mixture of field soil and potting mix at a 1:1 ratio. The maize plants were allowed to grow in 16 h light and 8 h dark at 28 °C ±2 in a greenhouse. Two least vigorous maize seedlings were eliminated to minimize the competition. The plants with five biological replicates for each treatment were put on randomized block design and watered every 1-2…

useful measurement of plant water status (Hinckley et al 1978; Murphy and Ferrell, 1982; Waring and Schlensinger 1985; Davis…

in an insect habitat has a significance in the determination of plant species in an area, which in turn determines which arthropod communities reside in it. Higher water content is a favorable condition for the majority of plants species that exist. Therefore, greater plant diversity is present in habitats surrounded by partially submerged in water. The results of an experiment conducted by Dinnage (2012) show that flourishing plant productivity provides a larger resource base for insects and…

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…

wanted a miscarriage. Another character, Penny, helped Marcela by getting her to go to the garden everyday, Penny wanted her to go because growing plants is like raising a baby and she hoped that Marcela would understand that and she did. Marcela liked the people and she wanted the baby because the plants made her happy, “I stared at the squash plants. It was a world in there. It seemed like I could actually see the leaves and flowers growing and changing.” I used Marcela as an example because…

1. What is bushmeat hunting? Why is it so harmful to primate populations? Bushmeat is any wild animal that is hunted and eaten from a forest. Bushmeat hunting means hunting animals that are already going extinct (or will soon be extinct). This is a threat to primates and will cause their extinction because it takes around 10 to 20 years to replace them in the environment. Since they keep being hunted, they can’t really keep pace to replace their population with the amount humans are killing.…
