have ID tags on some of the tree species (I wanted to practice some tree ID). I arrived at the beginning of the Trillium Wood Trail at 13:43 and initially noticed the two signs which told visitors about the wildlife that is in the area, and to leave plant life be. This deciduous forest contained a wide variety of tree species such as sugar maple, American beech, red oak, black cherry, bitternut hickory, red maple, basswood and white ash. Majority of the trees had ID tags on them which was great…

This is also known as duckweed. The chemicals we tested all are harmful, as they do not treat the life cycle of these plants well being in their water. What is Lemna Minor you may ask well stated above it is also known as duckweed but more information helps you know that it is found in ponds and it grows at a rapid rate according to the (USDA.) Lemna Minor is also a summer plant so in the winter months of cold areas you would not find it. The goal of our experiment is to find out what winter…

What you Need to Know About Gypsy Moths By Mike Perri, The Davey Tree Expert Company Gypsy moth caterpillars defoliated thousands of trees in Toronto last year, creating a symphony of chomping and leaving behind a mess of droppings. To combat the infestation, the Toronto Urban Forestry staff implemented control measures in 2017. Because of their successful efforts, the city will focus on treating individual trees, instead of doing widespread aerial spraying, in 2018. But keep in mind that…

Plant predators, the vicious herbivores of planet Earth have many different adaptations that help ensure their survival in the wild. There are many different types of plant predators who have adapted to survive and live by solely eating plant material. One in such being that of the Tapir. The Tapir is said to be the largest mammal residing in the American rainforests. They feed on a variety of plants and plant material to guarantee that they do not become poisoned by eating too much of a certain…

What if there was not a single animal on earth, what would the people do? Climate change is creating a turn of events for animals that live within a specific climate or area. With the change in climate taking its toll on the animal kingdom, causing them not only to move and adapt to there surroundings climate change is causing many of them to die out. Climate change really picked up during the industrialization era when factories started open up and more and more gasoline engines came onto the…

The Southern Mixed Prairie is considered the most important western range type for livestock production (Holechek, Pieper & Herbel, 2011) and once spanned a vast area of 565,000 km2 (Van Dyne and Dyer, 1973). Debate amongst various scholarly sources has made the boundaries of the Southern Mixed Prairie ambiguous. According to one model, this rangeland area spans central Nebraska down into northern Oklahoma (U.S. Forest Service, 2005). An alternate source elaborates that the Southern Mixed…

effects of run-off, evapotranspiration, and water penetration. Its common knowledge that vegetation needs water to grow and reproduce but on the steepest slopes the support for plant life is very low. Steep slopes produce high levels of soil erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure of sunlight on vegetation that can also vary growth outcomes. Slopes facing different directions may have similar precipitation…

Fertilizer is a key variable in growing nice and healthy plants for your garden. You don't want to give to little or too much fertilizer to your plants, because then your plants won't grow so good. To prove this I took five plants and used Miracle Gro 3x fertilizer and used eighty to two hundred and twenty five milliliters of fertilizer. The steps i took for this experiment was pretty simple i filled the containers with soil and tomato seeds. Then I used measuring cups for the fertilizer…

Some of these plants include lichens, mosses, fir trees, hemlock trees, and coniferous. There are over 48 different types of fir trees. The most common plant in the taiga biome is the coniferous trees. The coniferous trees are also called evergreen trees, and they have long waxy needles. The taiga biome has a range of different animals…

wouldn’t look the same way it does now. There are two main processes: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration that makes up our air inside of plants. These two processes wouldn’t be possible without each other. Even though they are like each other they have many differences that define them to exactly what they are. Photosynthesis is the process in plants and certain other organisms in which light energy from the Sun is converted to chemical energy in organic molecules. For Photosynthesis to…
