This report documents how the Mid-Atlantic colonies will effect the war effort. The Mid-Atlantic colonies show strengths and weaknesses to effect the war effort. Based upon the areas of geography and climate, resources, and political and social life, the Mid-Atlantic colonies will prove to be an asset in a possible war with France. The climate of the Mid-Atlantic is a benefit because there is a moderate climate all year round. This allows a long growing season. The geography includes deep…

food such as herd animals or marine ecosystems instead. This gave people the flexibility to do as they please, instead of having to rely on what untamed nature produced itself. Being in control of our own food is a disadvantage as well, if weather or soil doesn’t permit plentiful crops that season, the people who rely on that crop could potentially starve. Considering we tend to clear forest for farm land…

After double checking to ensure I have my Cave ticket to tour the inside of the cave, I start the trail. After passing the Visitor’s Center I come to a talus slope. A talus slope is a pile of loose rocks that have collected at the bottom of a mountain, cliff, or any high point. Looking at the walls around the area I can see how erosion has weakened the walls near…

Proposal 1: Plant Diversity and Competition in Montana Sagebrush Steppe; Post Wildfire In Montana, 44,103 square kilometers are classified as big sagebrush steppe. In addition to this, 16,346 square kilometers are classified as Montane Sagebrush Steppe (fieldguide.mt.gov). These ecosystems alone take up nearly 16% of Montana’s land (15.87%). These lands are normally dominated by Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis, and other native shrubs along with diverse perennial herbaceous graminoid…

When it comes to landscaping, watering your plant life is crucial. That’s why lawn maintenance professionals often recommend installing an irrigation system for avid gardeners.

depend on their precipitation and adsorption with soil particles while concentration of radionuclides in soil decreases by a leaching process. Additionally,…

will receive water 5 inches in depth as well as the C. vialis. A soil measuring kit will be used to run various tests on the two different plants. A tape measure will also be used to determine the height of the surviving plant. The experimental group will receive the water with the fertilizer that includes nitrates, plotting soil and light from the sun. The control group will receive regular water, with no fertilizer, plotting soil and sunlight. The two plants will compete for the same resources…

these rocks experience weathering, they break down and gets mixed into the ground. Sometimes it gets washed away in water. With this, plants are able to absorb P from the ground. The animals eat these plants and absorb P. The phosphorus returns to the soil through the wastes we release, and when the dead decompose. These then goes back to the process of the formation of rocks. Phosphorus cycle is a slow and unique cycle (Robson, 2017). Over the years, several human activities have affected the…

Living organisms that are located in a specific area which includes plants and animals that interact with the weather, Earth, sun, soil and atmosphere is noted to be an ecosystem. Living in South Carolina there has been an estimation of 400,000 acres of coastal marshes and 100,000 of tidal swaps. The city of Beaufort where I reside has an amazing high of 336 square miles of water versus 583 square miles of land. Beaufort,S.C is surrounded by many wetlands. Upon doing some research I found that…

If you have any type of turfgrass, you need to learn about the effects frost can have on that turfgrass if you want your grass to make it through the winter.

Frost appears on turfgrass when your grass gives heat off into the atmosphere and that causes a cooling effect on your turfgrass. If the turfgrass temperature is lower than the air's temperature,…
