Five Research Articles on Biodiversity Succession in Ecology: Summaries Article 1: “Effects of nitrogen deposition on soil and vegetation in primary succession stages in inland drift sands” What kind of system was being considered? -They studied the Inland drift sands in the areas of the Netherlands. They specifically looked and studied at the Drethe, Veluwe, Utrecht, Brabant, and along Meuse. They wanted to consider how plants grow and develop during succession. The author’s hypothesis: -The…

Succession is the process by which the structure of a community evolves over time. There are many factors that can affect succession, such as environmental changes, which are natural and harmless to the nature, and human-caused changes which mostly will end up ruining a succession. The two driving forces for succession include evolution and natural selection. Evolution is known as a change in the population or community that can be measured such as number of the members of the community. Natural…

In the western United States forest succession and the role of fire as a mechanism triggering forest community succession and the interaction of drought and forest fires are significant to the ecosystems and the living animals and plants affected by it. Forest succession is the replacement of new life in plant or animals in a forest. Fire is a mechanism triggering forest community succession because it is a disturbance to the community; it destroys all the trees and living organisms in that…

Prince Gabriel Wylie enters the assembly room, surrounded by members of his council, Kingsman, and family; draped in royal purple robes made from the finest silk and wool. The hall was a mixture of elegance and refinement, furnished in red and white linens with flowers and candles, a complete contrast to its appearance just a few hours prior. A long velvet mat parted the floor with nobles standing on the opposite sides of it. An older man with pure white hair, wearing religious robes, holding…

Erin Allbritton BIO103 3/2/17 Professor Van Breukelen Chapter 5-Ecosystems and Living Organisms 1. How do biologists define evolution? Biologists define evolution as the cumulative genetic changes that occur in a population of organisms over time. 2. What are Darwin’s four premises of evolution by natural selection? 1. High Productive Capacity- Each species produce more offspring than will survive to maturity. 2. Heritable…

The relationship between my faith and my work as a therapist is very interesting to me. I was born and raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) also known as Mormons. When I was two my family moved to a home in Provo, Utah where my father became a professor at Brigham Young University which is owned and run by the LDS Church. The area where I lived was about 99% Mormon. In fourth grade there was only one student in my entire grade-level who was not a member of the…

is another ecosystem that has the same features as the planned ecosystem this can include temperature, average amount of rainfall, soil type/geology, vegetation type. Reference ecosystems should be ecosystems that have redeveloped after natural succession (Goebel, Wyse, & Gregory Corace III, 2005). These ecosystems do not have to be a proper site; they can also be a collection of historical records or a written description. A portion of…

Introduction Succession is referred to as changes within an ecological community following a disturbance of a relatively large area (Connell and Slatyer 1977.) Succession is broken down into two main time periods: primary and secondary. Primary succession is classified as the formation of soil and colonization of annual plants over a depleted land. Secondary succession is classified as the colonization and development of perennial plants over an established ecosystem. The process at which…

One of De Goya’s most famous pieces is his Charles IV of Spain and his family, which was created while under the appointment of King Charles IV himself. This painting creates an interesting light on De Goya’s view of the royal family, while using many techniques in order to perfect the life-size image, also puts on display and mocks the family’s power. The interesting dynamics and hierarchy of the family displayed in this painting gives the strongest feel of what was going on within the inner…

• What are the issues? Motrin, to attract mothers, fielded an ad that came across as tasteless. The overarching idea behind reaching mothers was well intended but it was poorly executed through the wording in the ad. Perhaps the ad agency, based in Toronto, failed to fully incorporate the social construct, work-life balance challenges, and the sacrifices women make in the United States (and most developed world) to foster their career. “Even mothers who work for pay are still doing twice…
