Virginia contains many different biomes spread throughout the state. Some of the biomes I have found is deciduous forest, coniferous forest, grasslands, savanna, tundra, and alpine biomes. Each one has their own average temperatures, typical animals and plants. Towards the northern part of the state there are more harsh temperatures and weather compared to the lower part. The southern part though gets pretty harsh temperatures and weather itself. You may find deciduous forest around the…

features. This will protect against the harsh effects from summer weather patterns. It is also necessary to stop the emergence of weeds and unwanted plants. Residential property owners and homeowner associations should not put off landscaping maintenance during springtime. This is the best time to jump start the growth of healthy roots in grass and other plants. Healthy root systems prevent damage from heavy rains, winds, and even prolonged drought. Fertilizing in the early spring gives grass…

The Pucallpa-Cruzeiro do Sul is a road this is being considered for construction.The road should not be built for the following reasons: it could fatally affect the Asheninka and could make multiple species of animals and insects go extinct. This could be extremely detrimental to the flora and fauna found in the Amazon Rainforest. The road should not be built because of the many animal species that are only found in this particular rainforest. Many animals in the Amazon still haven't been…

Easter Island is actually the Rapa Nui island. We call it Easter Island because it was discovered on Easter weekend. Many years ago the Polynesian tribe settled there. It used to be a nice beautiful island with lots of trees and animals. Then around 320 AD the Polynesians settled there and it changed. When the Polynesians just settled, there wasn’t a big number of them, it is estimated that fewer than 100 started out on the island. The population soon thrived and grew. It grew to an estimated…

ominous-looking, the plants are commonly sold as novelties, and many a curious child (or adult) has triggered its ..……. (baneful, sinister, doomful, malevolent) traps with a pencil to see its amazingly rapid response. However, carnivory in plants is not limited to the famous Venus flytrap. In fact, there are more than 600 carnivorous plant species, and the ability to catch and digest ………(dupe, prey, victim, quest) has evolved independently at least six times among flowering plants. Carnivory in…

The White Spruce, also known as the Picea alba, is a tree that is native to Michigan. In fact, this tree can be found on the Adrian College campus along with several other species of trees. The White Spruce is also one of eight different types of spruce trees found in North America. However, the White Spruce has multiple characteristics that make it unique, such as where it grows, its needles, and its pine cones. The White Spruce also has a different growing pattern than that of most trees.…

By competition, we are able to find the best species, or best individuals of plants and animals for each habitat(diversity). For example, deer, elk and moose are in the same family so they all essentially have the same instincts. These animals have alpha males in their herd. For deer, elk, and moose, they fight for the niche of Alpha…

Minerals are the building blocks of plant growth. Plants need these minerals to make complex molecules. If a plant shows poor growth, it may be due to a lack of or an excess of a mineral(s) in the soil. Efficient and successful plant growth depends on a set of factors: the minerals, the amount of minerals present, the pH of the soil, light quality and quantity, temperature, and the overall rate of photosynthesis. Although there are other factors that affect plant growth, these are the most…

Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and various bacteria’s are used to capture energy from sunlight into chemical energy (Vidyasagar). This is very important process because it will then use the glucose, which will be used by cellular respiration to make ATP. The ATP will then be used to fuel all living organisms. Photosynthesis has two processes a light dependent reaction and the light independent reaction. A Light Dependent Reaction absorbs and converts light…

On the second day however it was mostly dedicated to the identification of the kingdom of insects that surrounded the freshwater biome. After the morning ablutions, the group was given some education into the proper use of the equipment that was provided in order to begin the Bio Blitz, which was essentially a search and identification program. Within this period of time, the sweeping of both land and airborne insects would be caught and placed into confinement for proper tagging and…
