frequency. Whereas, Pinus Clausa or sand pine, was only present in the burned area showing that it was a successional species. All other species of trees were more of a hardwood and were killed by the fire. Therefore, they are un-present or in small numbers in the burned area.Woody plants showed a significant decrease in the burned area compared to the unburned…

Introduction Succession is referred to as changes within an ecological community following a disturbance of a relatively large area (Connell and Slatyer 1977.) Succession is broken down into two main time periods: primary and secondary. Primary succession is classified as the formation of soil and colonization of annual plants over a depleted land. Secondary succession is classified as the colonization and development of perennial plants over an established ecosystem. The process at which…

being able to water a flower or plant an entire flower garden. Establishing your goals Landscaping tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes, although they may look the same, can often be made for a particular environment or landscaping purpose. Because of this, it is important to first establish what you will be doing. Will you have a variety of gardens, just one garden, or no gardens? Will you have trees? Will you have grass or populate your front yard with rocks. Do you intend to attract…

Characterized by their irresistibly minty taste, Mento's are now sold in 130 countries. But what makes them leave such a frosty sensation and can they actually be capable of depleting temperature? Similar to why peppers taste hot, what’s going on here is there is a chemical in mint, menthol, which is deceiving the cerebrum into believing that the area the menthol is applied to is cold; even though in fact, it’s the same as it was before. More particularly , menthol binds with cold-sensitive…

I would print flyers describing what food would be available, how to volunteer, and other useful information regarding the garden. Additionally, 70% of plants grown would be perennial plants such as fruit trees, strawberry plants, and grapevines (mostly fruits) as opposed to annual plants like sweet corn and potatoes. By making most of my plants perennial I will be able to save money as well as reduce erosion. The early stages of the perennial plants would be grown in our school’s small…

valley. Prairies are also treeless environments that are dominated by herbaceous plants. The environments also include varying levels of soil fertility. They also provide a safe habitat for a very diverse plant and animal community. Andropogon Gerardii (big bluestem) is the dominant grass species found in the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. It can reach up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) in height and has a root system that can extend downward over 8 feet into the deep, rich prairie soil. The grass is a…

dynamics of tallgrass prairie plant populations, as well as their response to disturbance (e.g., fire and grazing) and climatic variability, may be mediated principally through effects on the demography of belowground bud populations. Patterns of seed reproduction and seed bank populations have little influence on short-term aboveground population dynamics of tallgrass prairie perennials. Our results indicate that fire in tallgrass prairie strongly influences the production of belowground…

different fatty acid and protein biosynthetic pathways. The functionality and lifestyle of cyanobacteria lead to many routes to alternative energy. Current investigations The most viable biofuels are typically ones that use sustainable biomass feedstocks that do not compete with food crops, both directly (i.e. corn or soy for biofuels) and indirectly (i.e. land competition), and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There are many methods that fit under those criteria have been researched in…

Competition is a prevalent factor in biology that plays an integral role in the diversity of a biomes community and natural selection for species. Plants are among the most diverse groups of organisms and it all started 475 Ma ago, when spore-producing plants were the first to emerge from the sea to begin the colonization of terrestrial ecosystems. Ever since late Silurian (425 Ma), land plants have been competing, evolving and diverging to give rise to new species, while nearly all plant…

species is native to Mexico. It belongs to the family Leguminoseae (Fabaceae) it is known in Mexico as huizachillo. In the USA, ground tamarind and mimosa. It is a perennial legume that grows in summer on clay soils that receive 500 to 750 mm of water; it is resistant to neutral pH and grows in large areas of grasslands. It is productive and drought tolerant. It grows in tropics and subtropics, still reasonably cold tolerant and although it is defoliated by frost, this regrowth of crowns once…
