Humus

From news broadcasts, food labels and restaurants, to your own backyard, the organic craze is spreading across the country. With increasing members of society demanding “organic”, it may be time to offer a program specifically for this growing trend. A majority of you already return clippings, use IPM techniques, fertilize with slow release nitrogen, spot treat and minimize pesticide/herbicide applications, which all describe a successful sustainable lawn care program. By offering programs that…

Beneficial Food Recommendations: Include 4 oz of protein-rich food at least twice a day
This should be roughly the size of a deck of cards. Healthy protein-rich foods include organic, pasture-raised meats, poultry, wild-caught fish, fermented soy, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, legumes and beans. For added nutrients and easily absorbable protein, micro-proteins such as blue green algaes, bee pollen, brewers yeast, royal jelly, barley greens, wheatgrass juice, alfalfa juice and alfalfa greens can be…

Providing food in early years settings to ensure children’s health and encourage development. Produce a piece of writing to explain the impact of diet on children’s health and development. A child’s diet is very important to encourage development and growth. Having an unbalanced diet can increase the risk of many health issues both in childhood and later life. There are 5 main nutrients which each child need to consume to maximise a child’s development. These are: • Carbohydrates • Proteins •…

spruce, and western redcedar trees accompanied by red huckleberry and feather mosses (Grayston, 2016a). The dominant soils in this zonal ecosystem are Humo-Ferric and Ferro-Humic Podzols with a distinctive feature being the accumulation of acidic Mor humus (Banner et al, 2014). In comparison, the montane variant of CWHwh, CWHwh2, covers approximately 7% of Haida Gwaii’s total land area and is found at higher elevations, between 350 and 600 m (Banner et al., 2014). Presence of the yellow-cedar…

Benefits of Natural Forest Fires to Forest Ecology Introduction Since its discovery, fire has fascinated man with its potential. Fire provides light and heat and while it destroys some things that come in contact with it, it is also capable of metamorphosing other things for the overall benefit of life. Natural fires are a routine occurrence in forested areas, especially during hot and dry weather conditions or due to lightning strikes. In the summer of 1988, for example, 42 instances of…

For my Personal Change Project I decided to partake in Water Conservation, specifically reducing the amount of time I spend taking a shower everyday. As my proposal stated I spend a lot of time in the shower, especially on the weekends because I usually listen to music in the shower. Listening to music in the shower is entertaining and it’s the only place that I can freely sing without my mom having to yell at me saying that I’m a horrible singer. Anyways, the main point is that listening to…

I. Vegetarianism and the Environment First off, there is no guaranteed diet that is best for the environment. Some people who switch to vegetarianism as a way to fix the world, but others realized restricted diets aren’t the answer. Meat eaters do, however fuel the factory farming business. Factory farming does destroy; it destroys prairies, forests, soil, and animals. Overgrazing is destroying arable land more and more each day (ProCon.org 3). Around 85% of all grazing land cannot be farmed…

beneficial to the noble firs are Spodosols, which have a well-developed E-horizon and often form beneath conifer forests in cool, moist climates, and Inceptisols, a newer soil order which profile gives some indication of clay minerals, metal oxides, or humus accumulating in layers, but such accumulation is not sufficient to classify the soil into an order defined by characteristic surface or subsurface horizons and is often found on fairly steep slopes, young geomorphic surfaces, and on…

Extraction of alkali from banana peels is known to depend on such parameters as ashing temperature, ashing time, soaking time and particle size of the ashed sample, soil type and variety. Alkali was extracted from three Nigerian grown banana peels namely: Saaro, Oloosun and Paranta for the purpose of determining the concentration of the extracted alkali. The concentration of the extracted alkali ranged from 0.02 to 0.10mol/dm3. The three varieties of the banana peels gave a maximum concentration…

The following project history is modified from Mitchell (1989), Woodman (2004a, b), Kennedy and Yule (2010), and Yule (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). 1868: E.R. Faribault E.R. Faribault observed gold mineralized rocks in the Salmon River area in 1868. 1880: Mr. George Stewart and Mr. Alex Kent A shaft was sunk into a bedding parallel auriferous quartz vein at the Salmon River property. When mined at depth, this vein was discovered to be a saddle reef-type vein along a fold hinge. 1881-1925: Various…
