Decision tree

where the dominant tree species in the location has attained a very old age. Ecologically, old growth forest is very important, therefore, measurements and indexes should be used to reflect the value these habitats hold. I suggest that an old-growth habitat index be used to reflect the “old-growth quality” of the upland and floodplain regions in Prospect Park. Most “old-growth” indices capture multiple qualities of the trees such as trees with dbh’s of over 100cm, diversity of tree sizes,…

So I feel like the tree all by itself is either the last of the trees, and is considered the savior of what is left, or that the tree is basically asking for a savior, and the need of a savior is projected in its shadow by a cross. It is difficult to depict exactly what is supposed to be meant. I also feel that the shadow does a good job and bringing your eye to the little tree, positioned almost in the center of the poster. The shadow is much bigger than the tree, and I think that is to…

trees quintupling in size. Seeing the positive effects wolves had on trees, more national parks and states began facilitating this natural ecology management. By initiating a wolf presence in certain areas, a trophic cascade occurs and thus allows for tree recruitment and renewal. Yellowstone is not the only park to introduce wolves to affect trees, but allowed for the movement to gain popularity,…

The island was full of vegetation that gave them and the insects a home. The soil was soft and moist and easy for them to break apart. Food wasn’t a problem for them. They could easily pick off insects from leaves or pluck them out from the soil. Food was abundant and varied. Because of the accessibility of food, the robins had no special advantage one…
