Pond

Based on the analysis of the food web, it has been determined that the pond is a healthy and stable ecosystem, although a keystone species is not present. This disproves the hypothesis formed earlier in this lab that stated, “The pond is not ecologically stable and there is no keystone species. The pond does not seem to be biodiverse, and the relative population sizes of the organisms appears to be low, based on visual observations. A keystone species also does not appear to be present, or else…

Discussion: A court will likely conclude that the condition that our client maintains on her property is a natural condition and therefore does not constitute an attractive nuisance. Under the attractive nuisance doctrine, a possessor of land is subjected to liability for physical harm to children trespassing thereon caused by an artificial condition upon the land. Norton v.

novel "Walden" the wintry weather is essentially over, and the spring thaw is beginning to start. The commencement of springtime on Walden Pond is clearly declared by the distinct bellows that come from the initial breakup of the pond's thick ice cover. At this point in the chapter, Thoreau introduces the narrative of a hunter who took his boat down to Fair Haven Pond, which at that time was still covered in ice. Thoreau states that "the man concealed himself in the bushes to hunt ducks, and…

possible to reduce the damage from flooding that may happen. As well as creating a better future for the community.

conditions of the Five Points helped affirm that reputation. Initially a reservoir in the 1700s, Collect Pond was located just north of today’s City Hall. This pond was the root of spring water for Dutch inhabitants of downtown Manhattan. In the neighborhood of Collect Pond, people began disposing waste in the pond from the tanneries and slaughterhouses that consumed the neighborhood which gave the pond and surrounding areas a filthy stench. Because of this mess, it was decided to fill in all…

samples taken. A dependant variable is the variable being measured during the experiment. The dependant variables are the salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrates, phosphates, and the temperature of the water samples obtained from each pond. Factors that are deliberately held constant is the the amount of millilitres gathered from each location, and the method of the testing. Method pH A small sample of water was placed into a small dish. Test tape was placed in the water…

I would have much rather been inside my comforting house, eating a delectable dinner, as delicious to me as any five star restaurant, with my family, than looking for my annoying brother. Through our dense treeline, I yet walked, to our mystical pond. Dodging the constant tree branches, I became more and more irritated. I couldn’t help but think that when I caught my brother, I would be as angry as a hornet. At this point, I became more and more irked. The way a storm cloud darkens and darkens…

accept the previously traditional ways of living. In an effort to connect to a spiritually rich life and to show the shortcomings of a common life, Thoreau moves a mile outside of the nearest neighbor and builds his home away from society at Walden Pond in an experiment of self-reliance. However, when digging deeper, the hypocrisy of Thoreau begins to emerge. In his quest to be within nature, he only moves a mile from his nearest neighbor with a connection to society still looming. Additionally,…

The preparation for this lab should be done a week prior to examining each layer. The preparation consists of compiling the pond. To do so, obtain a small, disposable bowl with a cover. Using a thumbtack, poke holes into the lid of the container. Then, using black paper, wrap it 2/3 of the way around the bowl and proceed to the securing the black paper with aluminum foil. Once that’s completed, fill the bowl 1/4 way with soil and hay. Next, the bowl is filled with water 3/4 way. Cover the bowl,…
