was created in 1915 and its area is 415 square miles. Carbon Cycle: The carbon cycle is the processes by which carbon is transferred throughout an ecosystem. In a typical carbon cycle, carbon is released in the form of carbon dioxide through both plant and animal respiration. Carbon is released into the ground in animal waste products and when organisms die, which can create fossils which contain a large amount of carbon. Auto and factory emissions also contribute carbon to the cycle. When…

of fruits per plant ranged from 11 (OFI-14) to 68 (cv. ‘Bianca’) and statistically significant differences were found among populations (Table 4). The cvs. ‘Gialla’ and ‘Bianca’ were the populations with the highest production of fruit per plant, 5.2 and 5.1 kg, respectively, and outperformed the remaining populations. In the group of the sixteen OFI ecotypes the lowest values for fruit production per plant were found in the populations OFI-03 (0.9 kg plant-1) and OFI-14 (1.0 kg plant-1) and the…

of the year, but does not need to completely saturated year round. A wetland can be seasonally flooded (Tiner).

Biology Field Study Draft Part A Bulimba Creek is a perennial stream located in the eastern and south-eastern areas of Brisbane (Committee, 2016). The creek covers an area of 122 square kilometres and runs through 20 of Brisbane’s southern and eastern suburbs as it makes its way towards the Brisbane River (Committee, 2016). As a result of the creek covering such a large area, Bulimba Creek is a very important part of Brisbane’s ecosystem and society. Although Bulimba Creek is a part of…
