Mustard plant

Garlic mustard is not a positive thing for our environment. Garlic mustard is a plant, more easily classified as a weed, that has an extremely negative impact on our environment. The garlic mustard is an aggressive woodland invader in most of the eastern U.S. Actually, it is much worse than the zebra mussels. Zebra mussels are small freshwater mollusks. Garlic mustard has a negative impact on the environment because of many things. For starters, it is easily spread. Not only is it spread easily, but it is incredibly hard to get rid of. Garlic mustard spreads without difficulty and it is already hard to get rid of, so it is just overall a terrible thing for the environment. It is worse for the environment than zebra mussel because zebra mussels help fishermen by fattening up the salmon. Zebra mussels also make the lake clearer. All in all, the affect of garlic mustard is much worse on the environment than zebra mussels.…

projection of these ideals onto her daughter. Jeanette’s comparison of history to a mustard-oozing, flavorful sandwich symbolizes her messy perception of the world and religion and its contrast with that of her mother. When Jeanette explains the process of storytelling, she describes the product as not a “seamless wonder but a sandwich laced with mustard of my own” (95). The clean cheese and beef sandwiches Jeanette’s mother always prepares for her, representing the ideals that she projects onto…

people. Despite the fact that I have never done something like that before, I never feared to try it. One thing I really got from pastoral year was putting aside my fears. I realized that I could only grow when I don’t let my fear get the most of me. As for the talk, everything went smoothly. The people said that I had a good sense of humor and that they really enjoyed my talk. This was something that I never knew I really have in me; I am usually very shy in front of people. I believe I…

Invasive Species: Garlic Mustard An invasive species can be defined as any organism (including the organism’s seeds or eggs) that is not native to an area, but if introduced, can cause harm to the environment, economy, or to humans. These invasive species are usually introduced by humans either intentionally or accidentally and can very quickly and aggressively reproduce and take over an area. Plants that are considered to be invasive have certain characteristics in common that makes them…

Chemical Agent Detector, Viking Spectratrak GC/MS, as well as various types of OSHA approved protective clothing and gasmasks. The Viking Spectratrak, costing $100,000, provides lab quality analysis scanning and compares samples to a library of 62,000 chemical signatures, while the M-8 papers test for blister agents droplets and cost $1 for a book of 25 test sheets (OSHA n.d.). Since vesicants may be present in liquid (droplets) of vapor (aerosol) form, these two devices can provide detection of…

As outlined in the Landowner’s Guide to Managing & Controlling Invasive Plants in Ontario document, invasive species (such as buckthorn, dog strangling vine, and garlic mustard) negatively impact our native biodiversity. And pose a significant threat of establishing a monoculture in addition to creating a new environment that cannot sustain or support our native species anymore. In our region, buckthorn lacks any natural enemies and has a longer growing season. Which can provide it an unfair…

terrestrial food webs, which are depictions of biodiversity, species interactions, and ecosystem structure (Polis & Strong 1996), are dramatically altered following plant invasion (DeVore & Maerz 2014; McCary et al. 2016; Smith-Ramesh et al. 2016). For example, successful plant invaders can eliminate vital plant-herbivore linkages, resulting in transformed food-web interactions and ecosystem structure (Carvalheiro et al. 2010; Engelkes et al. 2012). Invasive plants can also alter bottom-up…

Disea. Plants infected by S. sclerotiorum commonly develop signs of the pathogen, such as white, cottony mycelial growth embedded with black sclerotia that develop on plant surfaces or inside pod and stem tissues (Abawi and Grogan, 1979). The pathogen overwinters in the soil or on crop debris as sclerotia, which under suitable conditions germinate carpogenically to produce apothecia from which ascospores are released (Abawi and Grogan, 1979, Mila and Yang, 2008). Epidemics are initiated by…
