Aquatic plant

when looking at spinach. The same spinach plant was tested under different light environments (no light, white light, red light and green light). A control cuvette was used to compare the rate of photosynthesis to those of the color transmittance cuvette. Before collecting the data we learned about plants and light absorption. We learned the reason why plants are green is because it emits green color and the other transmitted colors are absorbed by the plant. Using our new information we created…

Marine Wildlife Do you think marine wildlife are endangered? What can we do to help the endangered wildlife? For anyone who watched Finding Nemo about a clownfish stolen from his home under the sea, the moral of the movie is to leave marine wildlife in the ocean where it belongs. Would you like a pet clownfish? Well, almost a million other people do as well! Demand for the clownfish grew as everyone wanted a pet clownfish of their own. The clownfish were already the top-selling fish! More and…

Bud bank dynamics (Benson, Hartnett et al. 2004) study suggest that the densities and dynamics of tallgrass prairie plant populations, as well as their response to disturbance (e.g., fire and grazing) and climatic variability, may be mediated principally through effects on the demography of belowground bud populations. Patterns of seed reproduction and seed bank populations have little influence on short-term aboveground population dynamics of tallgrass prairie perennials. Our results indicate…

have ID tags on some of the tree species (I wanted to practice some tree ID). I arrived at the beginning of the Trillium Wood Trail at 13:43 and initially noticed the two signs which told visitors about the wildlife that is in the area, and to leave plant life be. This deciduous forest contained a wide variety of tree species such as sugar maple, American beech, red oak, black cherry, bitternut hickory, red maple, basswood and white ash. Majority of the trees had ID tags on them which was great…

This is also known as duckweed. The chemicals we tested all are harmful, as they do not treat the life cycle of these plants well being in their water. What is Lemna Minor you may ask well stated above it is also known as duckweed but more information helps you know that it is found in ponds and it grows at a rapid rate according to the (USDA.) Lemna Minor is also a summer plant so in the winter months of cold areas you would not find it. The goal of our experiment is to find out what winter…

What you Need to Know About Gypsy Moths By Mike Perri, The Davey Tree Expert Company Gypsy moth caterpillars defoliated thousands of trees in Toronto last year, creating a symphony of chomping and leaving behind a mess of droppings. To combat the infestation, the Toronto Urban Forestry staff implemented control measures in 2017. Because of their successful efforts, the city will focus on treating individual trees, instead of doing widespread aerial spraying, in 2018. But keep in mind that…

What if there was not a single animal on earth, what would the people do? Climate change is creating a turn of events for animals that live within a specific climate or area. With the change in climate taking its toll on the animal kingdom, causing them not only to move and adapt to there surroundings climate change is causing many of them to die out. Climate change really picked up during the industrialization era when factories started open up and more and more gasoline engines came onto the…

The Southern Mixed Prairie is considered the most important western range type for livestock production (Holechek, Pieper & Herbel, 2011) and once spanned a vast area of 565,000 km2 (Van Dyne and Dyer, 1973). Debate amongst various scholarly sources has made the boundaries of the Southern Mixed Prairie ambiguous. According to one model, this rangeland area spans central Nebraska down into northern Oklahoma (U.S. Forest Service, 2005). An alternate source elaborates that the Southern Mixed…

effects of run-off, evapotranspiration, and water penetration. Its common knowledge that vegetation needs water to grow and reproduce but on the steepest slopes the support for plant life is very low. Steep slopes produce high levels of soil erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure of sunlight on vegetation that can also vary growth outcomes. Slopes facing different directions may have similar precipitation…

Fertilizer is a key variable in growing nice and healthy plants for your garden. You don't want to give to little or too much fertilizer to your plants, because then your plants won't grow so good. To prove this I took five plants and used Miracle Gro 3x fertilizer and used eighty to two hundred and twenty five milliliters of fertilizer. The steps i took for this experiment was pretty simple i filled the containers with soil and tomato seeds. Then I used measuring cups for the fertilizer…
