Mitsch, also explain the important of diversity in Crossing the Mangrove and how it contributes to créolité. Mitsch wrote, “Crossing the Mangrove gives life to many of these same ideas, that is, of promoting Antillean culture but not asserting its superiority or asserting the supermany of one Antillean group over another.” Chamoiseau also wrote in her article…

Living organisms that are located in a specific area which includes plants and animals that interact with the weather, Earth, sun, soil and atmosphere is noted to be an ecosystem. Living in South Carolina there has been an estimation of 400,000 acres of coastal marshes and 100,000 of tidal swaps. The city of Beaufort where I reside has an amazing high of 336 square miles of water versus 583 square miles of land. Beaufort,S.C is surrounded by many wetlands. Upon doing some research I found that…

1. Anolis cristatellus and A. cooki are both trunk-ground anoles that live on Puerto Rico. A. cristatellus lives in a shady, forest environment, while A. cooki lives in an open, sunny environment. What is an adaptive explanation for why the dewlap of one species evolved to be brighter and that of another species darker? The A. cristatellus has a brighter dewlap and the A. cristatellus has a darker dewlap since the dewlap is a piece of skin that male anole lizards uses to attract females. Dewlap…

Topic: Environmental Protection/Nature Conservation Narrowed Topic: The importance of preserving Mangroves in Jamaica. Research Question: What is the importance of preserving Mangroves in Jamaica? Thesis statement- The preservation of mangroves provide a good natural nursery ground for marine life, act as sediment filtration system and as a wave buffering zone against hurricanes. Introduction Mangroves are mainly tropical plants with a tangled root system that grows at the interface…

The Environmental Effects of Hurricane Katrina: An Annotated Bibliography Brooks, Matthew, Stouffex, Philip. “Effects of Hurricane Katrina and Salvage Logging on Bachman’s Sparrow.” 26 Jan. 2011, http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1525/cond.2010.100019 Bachmann’s Sparrows are at a near threatened status, so the effects of Katarina were expected to be detrimental to their environment. These sparrows make their homes in the longleaf pine tree located in the savanna area. The path of Katrina…

This allows the organism to be able to hide from predators more easily in places such as under leaves or branches, and hence making it harder to see. Human impacts *o*n the mangrove Long term effects of Pollution: _ {draw:frame} _ The altered behavior of nocturnal organisms due to light pollution. E.g. Birds who use the moon and stars for navigation will be disrupted and misled if too much light is present…

Island is made up of 18 regional ecosystems including; mudflats, mangroves, rocky shores and tidal flats, which is also located in Morton Bay just off the coast of Brisbane in South East Queensland. Study Methods A series of study methods were conducted to experiment on the ‘health’ and ‘well being’ of the ecosystems, some of these included; An animal survey, which was conducted at the most frequently visited…

Mangroves collectively possess a unique combination of morphological and physiological attributes for living in the tidal environment. Mangrove soils are regularly water-logged and loaded with salt. All these factors have notable and profound influences on the distribution and characteristics of Australia’s mangroves. Adaptations required for survival like desert plants, have special adaptations for growing…

most environmentally destructive forms of modern agriculture affecting mangroves directly [83]. Aquaculture destroys the mangroves to create shrimp ponds, reduce the ground water levels, and cause pollution to the surface water from the pond effluents [100]. Lack of long-term conservation and management of natural resources are the greatest shortcoming of shrimp aquaculture [40]. Researchers have noticed that the world’s mangroves will disappear in about 50 years if this trend continues [131].…
