extinct it can mess up everything. “Endangered species does not just refer to wildlife but rather any living organism whether in the air, in the sea, within the ground or roaming about the earth” (ProQuest Staff). There has been a lot of animals and plants on the endangered species list but only some animals make the list. To make the list the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has to say…

to grow during the summer months. In 2013, the population estimate was 197,000 caribou (Land:Caribou). The birth and death rate of caribou yearly is fairly equal, and depends strongly upon the weather. Harsh weather conditions can kill many of the plants that the caribou eat, or they can be covered in snow and be hard to…

Plants have four major periods of plant evolution that are marked terrestrial adaption. First is the origin of gametangia, which protects the embryo or sperm of plant. Second is the origin of vascular tissue it conduct water and nutrients. Third is the origin of seed where the embryo is protected from desiccation and other dangers…

raised plant bed is elevated and sits higher than the its surrounding ground. Many things can interrupt the ability of plant growth in a raised garden bed: materials, bugs, and even the products that are being used. To some extent, we can control how strong we want our plants to grow. The most modern stage in the development of plant bed design today for raised beds filled with fast draining planting mix, which are ideal growing environments for vegetables. Therefore, using a deeper plant bed…

the process used by plants, algae and some bacteria, to use the energy from the sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The equation for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water light energy glucose + oxygen. Chloroplasts are an organelle found in the leaves of green plants and are essential in photosynthesis as they are responsible for producing the glucose and storing the energy. Photosynthesis is vital for all life on earth as the plants create their…

The extinction of animals and living organisms is something most humans do not put into perspective, possibly until it’s almost too late. For example, humans don 't realise that their everyday lives are build around these creatures; what we eat, how we breathe, and how our world develops. I myself never thought about a world without whales, manta rays, tigers, plankton and owls and how important they are in my life until I came across the documentary Racing Extinction and the book Sustaining…

Ocean, the climate is a cool temperate, oceanic, humid to perhumid type that is largely moderated by movement of moist air masses off the Pacific Ocean (Banner et al, 2014). This climate gives rise to a temperate rainforest biome, which results in a plant…

This next chapter really focuses on biodiversity and how having a diverse world is extremely important. Earle states that “if the gene pool is small, the greater vulnerability of life to diseases, storms, and changes in climates”. This is not just true for humans, but for animals as well. The more people fish and the more marine life that goes extinct the smaller the species get which could lead to a lot of diseases which could kill a ton of animals and soon there would not be a mass amount left…

The mulch is usually requested from Madison Park. It is composed of chipped, compost, shredded leaves, manure and straw. The decomposers in mulch will break down the organic matters in mulch and convert it into inorganic nutrients that the plants need. First of all, we cleared the area by removing the invasive species and weeds. Then, we put coffee bags to cover the whole area and wait for mulching. When people look closer to the mulch, people can often see vapor is releasing from the mulch…

CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Basic Concepts of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change According to (FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), 2000; Gregorio, 2005) land cover refers to the biophysical cover of the earth surface or land for instance vegetation cover such as forest, shrub/bushland, and grassland and water. Whereas land cover can be defined as the attributes of the earth’s land surface covered by vegetation, desert, water bodies like lake, sea, ocean, bare soil and ice (Chrysoulakis…
