Riparian water rights

fir tree? Hypothesis: If we spray 3 separate douglas fir branches with 3 different pH types of liquid; pH 7, pH 6.8, pH 4, then the branch sprayed with pH 4 water will loose/brown the needles the quickest because pH 4 water is highly acidic. Background: Douglas Fir trees usually prefer pH precipitation of 7-6, the pH of 7 is perfect pH water, 6.8 is normal pH of precipitation in Oregon, pH 4 is very acidic. I know that acid rain can be very harmful to an array of plants, I’ve also heard that…

nature lovers, there’s no better beach than Crab Cove. Located at the north end of Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda, the Crab Cove Marine Protected Area, is California’s first marine reserve on an estuary. Estuaries are defined as bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea. At Crab Cove, this provides a unique opportunity to view a wide variety of creatures and habitats. The best time to view this intertidal life is when the tide is two feet or lower. At that time, you’ll…

Enhydra lutris, commonly known as sea otter, is the second smallest marine mammal that lives in shallow coastal waters of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Sea otters are often found in areas with protection from the most severe ocean winds, such as rocky coastlines, thick kelp forests, and barrier reefs. They are considered a keystone species because they are crucial to the health of the nearshore marine ecosystem. Because sea otters eat sea urchins, which are herbivores that feed…

It was a crisp summer day and I was laying on the sandy beach of Dewmont Lake. The smell of sweat and sunscreen was in the air and it was a scorching hot day. So I decided to go in the water with my friends Callie and Emily. We splashed around in the lake and played all sorts of games with each other and with our other neighbors who were at the lake with us. One of my favorite games was chicken fights and I got to say Emily and I were pretty much the best team out there. Once we were tired of…

I work for a little known Seaworld park, Sesame Place. Yes, a theme park dedicated to the treasured childhood show Sesame Street. While childish, the park is operated by guidelines and policies instituted across all other parks. I happen to work in Aquatic Operations, or simply put I am a Lifeguard. I am one of nearly 200 lifeguards who are on the sesonal payroll in the park. We are all American Red Cross (ARC) certified guards, in an ARC accredited park. This means that we undergo yearly…

Dear Coach Williams, I have been a year long journey to the Tundra biome. It is very cold here and snows majority of the time. Summers bring wildflowers, but other than that it is mostly snow. This biome is found in the Arctic and has absolutely no trees and it does not get much rain here either. There is a lot of animals here: sheep, mountain goats, birds, grey wolves, polar bears, and very few other species. The available period for growing things in summer is 50 to 60 days because the sun…

The hypothesis that increasing the sucrose concentration from 6% (m/v) to 12 (m/v) would increase the rate of fermentation was not supported by the experiment. When looking at the graph it can be seen that the data obtained provided unclear results. Rather than the fermentation rate being significantly faster with a 12% (m/v) sucrose concentration throughout the entire study; the graph showed the fermentation rate for 12% (m/v) sucrose concentration was faster at times while the fermentation…

added in 1ml increments until the orange/red color disappeared or was less intense. After, the solution was cooled in an ice water bath. Once crystals formed, the solution was filtered using a funnel. The product was then recrystallized from 95% ethanol and water. In order to do this, the amount of ethanol used was multiplied by 0.8 and the calculated amount was the amount of water used for the recrystallization process. The dried purified product was weighed and the percent yield was…

research is that when the balls are cold the gas molecules inside tend to get tired and not have so much energy to help the balls bounce. It’s their job to act as a spring to help the balls bounce, but in order for the ball to bounce it has to be the right temperature, meaning the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment. In this case it has to be warm outside because that’s when the gas molecules inside are excited and they have a lot of energy. A gas molecule is the simplest…

controlled was 6 seeds and the experimental was 8 seeds. The resulted in this data because given to what I know about biology, I think the pH was too high to effect the growth rates and number of seeds. Due to the fact that they received a lot of water, the…
