Tropical rainforests are important as they are home to more than 2 million species, which represents over half of the world’s species of plants, animals, insects and a great variety of fungi. This also contributes to the huge biodiversity of the rainforests. The continuous canopy of the trees is a habitat for some species of plants to grow and animals can live in. Tropical rainforests are also home to indigenous people, who depend on the rainforests for their resources for survival. According…

The vague smell of spew and chemicals linger in the air. Flowers sitting on the side table. Trying to fight it. The room feels cold and has a slight spooky feeling to it, almost like someone has passed away recently in this room. The room has strips of sun shadowing through the gaps from the cheap blinds, which are hanging from the graffitied window frame. Medical machines are placed around the perimeter of the room. Just the single bed situated in the centre. The beeps of the machines are…

that comes with deforestation, either. In fact, the very notion of taking down forests leads to the endangerment and extinction of hundreds of species. Sample and Cheng, authors of Forest Conservation Policy: A Reference Handbook, emphasize that, “Plant and animal species, many of them dependent on forest ecosystems, are quietly going extinct—at a rate faster than at any time since a comet smashed into Earth 60 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs” (1). Deforestation is eliminating…

climate change and deforestation, people are looking for new and better ways to reverse these issues and create sustainable ways to move forward. Something that is not widely known is that most of the plants along trail sides and even in backyards have some medicinal or nutritional value. These plants include those that are familiar, such as dandelions, violets, and plantains, but include hundreds…

will cause changes to help others in the local community. A garden in Bradford County should be started. Currently, there are nearby gardens, one at the University of Florida in Gainesville teaching organic gardening. Gardeners are allowed to grow plants and vegetables on rented land for a fee. And another located on the Santa Fe campus…

in every ecosystem. Bacteria for instance have a mutualistic relationship with Legumes. Specifically, the bacteria Rhizobia. When the bacteria enters the root, ammonia is created from the nitrogen in the air. And from this, the plant uses it to create amino acids. The plant then provides sugar for the bacteria. A parasitic relationship between bacteria and a human host would be the bacteria Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. This bacteria is known to be extremely contagious and deadly to humans,…

So while I still read about the potential effects the desalination plants, especially the proposed one in Huntington Beach and think that it is a clear decision. I look at the high cost of not only the plant but the water it produces. I look at the alternatives like the subsurface infiltration gallery that has been so effective in Japan and doesn’t have the same drastic effects on ocean…

Hummingbirds migrate south during the winter, but due to artificial feeders some hummingbirds migrate to the east. If not provided with enough food and shelter from the cold hummingbirds will die. The effects on the climate alter the pattern of plants blooming. If the plants change the time when they bloom the hummingbird may be too soon or too late to pollinate the…

Chrysanthemum belliam The Chrysanthemum belliam is an organism that belongs to the Domain Eukarya and Plantae Kingdom. Chrysanthemum are flowering plants native of northern eastern Europe and East Asia. However, this particular species of Chrysanthemum, belliam, was recently discovered in the western part of Africa, around the Gold Coast. The coastal climate of this region in Africa has produced an abundance of Chrysanthemum belliam, so lets take an indepth look at this beautiful unique…

predation is affected by temperature we can know the ideal conditions for the tree to use sufficient water because an increase in predation would mean a decrease in the growth of the tree therefore saving water leading to more water for surrounding plants and a sustainable amount of water for the humans to consume. History of the Jacranda Jacaranda trees were first introduced to South Africa in 1880, they were imported from Argentina for decoration purposes and is native to the tropical and…
