Water can be transpired, at night the chances for water to be transpired by plants are less than the chances of being transpired during the day. water that is transpired is large part of the water the atmosphere. In this experiment we were testing which organic material has the greatest…

skunk populations grow to large numbers causing a downfall of the birds that nest on the island. Island plants, like the Catalina cherry, Toyon and Manzanita, depend on the island fox to eat and spread seeds across the island. Insects and bird populations are dependent on the plants that the island fox reseeds. The kelp forests surrounding the Channel Islands benefit from everything too as the plants prevent silty runoff. Healthy kelp forests provide safe zone for many important fish and…

Bambara groundnut is believed to be autogamous and floral reproduction starts 30 to 35 days after sowing and may continue until the end of the plant’s life (Directorate Plant Production, 2009; Swanevelder, 1998). Flowers are normally carried in pairs on short peduncles by a pedicle which arises from the axis formed by the petioles and the stem (Doku, 1968). Flowers formed on the same peduncle do not open simultaneously…

lobata, was first introduced to the United States no one suspected that the semi-woody vine would be capable of enveloping forests across the country. Today, the plant sprawls across an estimated 810,000 hectares of land from Eastern Texas to Florida all the way up to Kentucky. When it was originally planted, Kudzu was seen as a “miracle” plant, able to grow extremely quickly and stop erosion dead in its tracks. Given continuous encouragement by the government through the late 1800s and into the…

like other butterflies, it serves as a pollinator. In this case, the Brenton Blue is a pollinator for its food plant, Indigo (scientific name Indigofera erecta). When the butterfly lands on the plant to feast on the nectar found within its pink flowers, the butterfly gets covered in the pollen that the plant produces. Then when the butterfly flies about and land on different Indigo plants, it pollinates them. The Brenton Blue butterfly also happens to lay its eggs on…

Annual precipitation totals variety from 50 to one hundred twenty-five cm (approximately 20 to 50 inches), with higher quantities within the south of the area and in the uplands nearly all regions with this climate have snow. This is because the moisture is evaporated from the land at a slow, normal pace, and is the reason why precipitation falls regularly during all four seasons. Humid Continental has an extensive variety of temperatures, which means low, cold temperatures and excessive heat…

Place your spade two inches away from the growth and dig down deep, tip your spade back to unearth the root ball to loosen. Do this all the way around the plant base and pull the entire thing out of the ground. Then divide each green spire into a new plant, making sure you capture a good rootstock as you go. This is the easiest and cheapest way to increase the size of ones garden. This is the very act of ‘gardening’ itself! If you do this, I give you permission…
