It’s thought that the copper somehow interacts with the slime, disrupting the pest’s nervous system. When placing the copper around the plants, make sure it is at least 11-cm tall so you can bury a few centimeters into the soil so the snail and slug can’t tunnel under it. If you are protecting plants inside a container, you can wrap the outside of the container in copper foil. Make sure you don’t have any snails or slugs hiding inside the container or the copper foil won’t…

Question 2 – What is one possible threat to continued food production in this biome? Justify your reasoning. Threat: Diseases in the Soil This threat emerges through the presence of clods. Clods are compacted clumps of soil that are anaerobic. When there are no clumps in the soil, the plants are fine. When tractors or other heavy machinery drive over the soil, it compacts it and expels the air. This is how clods are formed. The roots of the plants can’t penetrate these clods and are forced to…

This research proposal seeks to test the hypothesis that pesticide run-off from agriculture, even in small amounts, can have a devastating impact on the aquatic ecosystem, in particular that of Daphnia.  For years, pesticides have been known to have devastating impact on the ecosystems surrounding the agricultural centers they are used in. On a regular basis, run-off from farms that utilize both fertilizers and pesticides can seep into the watershed and slowly trickle into bodies of water…
