The Neolithic transition brought with it the change from subsistence farming to sedentary agricultural lifestyles. The development of sedentary farming communities brought the Neolithic era an influx of new technology that makes this era a monumental marker for human history. These communities also brought new techniques for planting, fertilizing, and selecting seeds which all created larger yields and increased the reliance on sedentary cultivation. They also may be responsible for the decline…

This report documents how the Mid-Atlantic colonies will effect the war effort. The Mid-Atlantic colonies show strengths and weaknesses to effect the war effort. Based upon the areas of geography and climate, resources, and political and social life, the Mid-Atlantic colonies will prove to be an asset in a possible war with France.

food such as herd animals or marine ecosystems instead. This gave people the flexibility to do as they please, instead of having to rely on what untamed nature produced itself. Being in control of our own food is a disadvantage as well, if weather or soil doesn’t permit plentiful crops that season, the people who rely on that crop could potentially starve. Considering we tend to clear forest for farm land…

Proposal 1: Plant Diversity and Competition in Montana Sagebrush Steppe; Post Wildfire In Montana, 44,103 square kilometers are classified as big sagebrush steppe. In addition to this, 16,346 square kilometers are classified as Montane Sagebrush Steppe (fieldguide.mt.gov). These ecosystems alone take up nearly 16% of Montana’s land (15.87%). These lands are normally dominated by Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis, and other native shrubs along with diverse perennial herbaceous graminoid…

depend on their precipitation and adsorption with soil particles while concentration of radionuclides in soil decreases by a leaching process. Additionally,…

will receive water 5 inches in depth as well as the C. vialis. A soil measuring kit will be used to run various tests on the two different plants. A tape measure will also be used to determine the height of the surviving plant. The experimental group will receive the water with the fertilizer that includes nitrates, plotting soil and light from the sun. The control group will receive regular water, with no fertilizer, plotting soil and sunlight. The two plants will compete for the same resources…

these rocks experience weathering, they break down and gets mixed into the ground. Sometimes it gets washed away in water. With this, plants are able to absorb P from the ground. The animals eat these plants and absorb P. The phosphorus returns to the soil through the wastes we release, and when the dead decompose. These then goes back to the process of the formation of rocks. Phosphorus cycle is a slow and unique cycle (Robson, 2017). Over the years, several human activities have affected the…
