Paragraph IIA Thesis: Instead of putting restricted rules on growing hemp, government should legalize the planting of hemp due to its valuable content and it is people’s basic freedom. Instead of restricting the production of hemp, the United States government should legalize the planting of hemp due to its beneficial value to society while fulfilling the natural rights and freedom of America. Hemp planting is currently considered illegal, but due to its value in different field and people’s…

Nowadays, urban growth has become a big treat to the environment. The transportation and the construction of facilities have introduced different kinds of invasive species in Seattle. Moreover, the illegal waste dumping and lack of maintenance also help spreading the invasive species. The common invasive species in Seattle are English Ivy, Himalaya Blackberry, American Bull Frog and fox squirrel, etc. The invasive species usually compete and edge out the native species. After a period of time, a…

essential element for the plant’s survival. So required water is to be poured basing on the dryness of the soil. Check the soil for its wetness and if it is too wet then you can put water in alternative days. Even if you mulch the top layer of soil you didn’t require to pour water every day as mulching can prevent loss of water. Mulching Mulching means covering the top most layer of the soil in the pot for about 2 inches with dried leaves , twigs, grass clippings, saw scrap or any other…

surface or land for instance vegetation cover such as forest, shrub/bushland, and grassland and water. Whereas land cover can be defined as the attributes of the earth’s land surface covered by vegetation, desert, water bodies like lake, sea, ocean, bare soil and ice (Chrysoulakis et al., 2004; Lambin et al., 2003). Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce, change or maintain it (Gregorio, 2005). While land use…

impact of changing soil textures and nutrient availabilities upon biomass allocation within Brassica rapus. From the data collected, we can conclude that soil texture and it’s influence upon nutrient availability is significant in determining biomass allocation within B. rapus. In our study, we found that soil texture primarily determined root biomass while the degree of nutrient availability, provided by fertilization, primarily determined shoot biomass. This means that in sandier soils, root…

Heat stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting agriculture production worldwide which causes an array of physiological, biochemical and morphological changes in plants. Maize crop is unique among cereals on account of wider flexibility and adaptability in growing conditions, ranging from Kharif, Rabi and Spring seasons. Further, the response of plants to high temperature stress is reflected in apparent morphological traits like leaf firing, tassel blasting etc. The composite…

1.INTRODUCTION Climate change has become one of the leading factors that has damaged rural communities in the developing world. Rural areas in the developing world are mostly affected by climate change due to lack of education and funds to implement measures that can curb climate change. Climate change has damaged rural communities by affecting the livelihood of the rural people, health, agriculture, the economy just to mention a few. Natural disasters, sea level rises and global warming are…

Often times, when the soil is poisoned by the chemicals through the water, either the plants have a very hard time growing, or they do not grow at all. “In forests, air pollution acidifies soils, depleting important nutrients and reducing the productivity of some forest trees. It adds excess nitrogen, altering nutrient levels and decreasing disease resistance”…

separated from residential areas by 200 meters. This landfill has several cells. These cells are filled, one at a time. Before the deposition of waste in them, the earth is excavated to allow placement of a four-tier barrier system. This protects the soil and drinking water from pollutants. Also, the Leachate treatment occurs for every 30cubic meters of Leachate. This lessens the municipal sewer load. One of the most vital innovations of this landfill had to involve the UN. They use the methane…

Introduction The purpose of this assignment was to determine whether a site located on LIT Tipperary’s Thurles campus, was suitable or not for an onsite wastewater treatment system. The assessment onsite predicts the wastewater flow through the subsoil and into the subsurface materials if a wastewater treatment system was to be put in place (EPA, 2009). The site characterisation process our class used is only applicable to a single house. I was assigned to the T3 test hole. The result in the…
