is like them…” (Douglas) The Everglades are located in the southern part of Florida. The Everglades National Park was established on December 6, 1947. The reason the park was established was to preserve the biological diversity of the Everglades ecosystem. The Everglades National Park consists of about 1.5 million acres. This vast National Park offers much history to learn, along with interesting attractions, beautiful…

argue that people should not accept the doctrine of animal rights, and I will offer three reasons to supports this claim. 1) Animal rights can to be limiting to the advancement of human wellbeing, 2) Animal control is important for sustaining the ecosystem, and 3) There are alternatives to accepting the animal rights, one in particular being animal welfare. The second point will be discussed in conjunction with the first two points. In support of the claim that animal rights is limiting for the…

the masses, and with a viral pandemic plaguing humanity, it is not a farfetched vision. In our world today, “the walking dead” are not zombies on a mission to terrorize humans; the walking dead are millions of plants species, animal species, and ecosystems that are quite literally:…

We are given the question which factors affect the stability of a Predator-Prey Population. Our goal is to find what factors could change a species population. A stable ecosystem means that a plant or animal does not overpopulate or underpopulate.. If the ecosystem is unstable, then a specie will grow largely, and another one would grow small. Our group collected how the population changed overtime and see if one specie goes extinct in our experiment. We put the experiment on a specific time…

were not prescribe fires worse things will start to happen. Prescribe fires can protect the ecosystem in many different ways. Prescribe fires can also protect people by not being as many fires as there should be. Prescribe fires can also protect the ecosystem by protecting threaten and endanger species. It can also protect the ecosystem by growth of nature. Prescribe fires have a good impact for the ecosystem. One example of why prescribe fires are good is because it can protect people.…

the new area and eventually said creature would be deemed an invasive species. Invasive species can destroy biodiversity, pushing out native creatures and altering ecological habitats. One reason as to how non-native species are introduced to our ecosystems is through the transportation of goods overseas. Unknowingly, people transport these creatures with them, eventually having these roam in our environment. Busy shipping areas, like the Port of Oakland, are especially vulnerable to invading…

species and natural elements.The Yellowstone National Park has to combat numerous dangers such as climate change and development which can possibly ruin or damage its environment. It has to take care of all its aspects in order for the vast amount of ecosystems to function. Flora and Fauna are the key elements for the parks survival. Yellowstone National Park has a dedicated team working together to protect and constantly analyse the park's natural development. Genetic Biodiversity plays a…

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to create a model of a self sustaining ecosystem for simulation. The eco column is a small model of the ecosystem and is a closed system. Most of the things that happen inside of the eco column will be similar, but there will always be outside factors which will not be taken into account. The goals of this experiment was to study the connections between the chambers and how they will affect the results. Each chamber in the eco column had a…

or pathogens that are non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause harm. Some of the characteristics are to tolerate a variety of habitat conditions, they grow and reproduce rapidly, and they lack natural enemies or pests in the new ecosystem. Some of the environmental impacts of invasive species are the extinction of local species, irreparable changes to the habitat, biodiversity of invaded ecosystems, and invasive and native species can mate to…

and sub-tropical woody trees that grow naturally in brackish waters within the intertidal zone. Mangrove ecosystems are highly productive and rich in biodiversity and offer a variety of goods and services, both economic and ecological. The estimated total area of mangroves is just above 150,000 km2, divided by 123 countries worldwide (Spalding et al., 2010). In tropical regions, these ecosystems constitute about 0.7 % of the total tropical forests (Jennerjahn & Ittekkot 2002). Even with their…
