Trees of Canada

hills, mountains, and valleys. In the Northern Hemisphere, the north-facing slopes are cooler because they receive less sun than the south-facing slopes. Since they receive less sun, they are also moister due to decreased evaporation rates. Different amounts of sun and moisture due to microclimate would seem to support different types of vegetation in biomes like forests (Molles, 2016). The composition of the forest would allow the direct observation of the influence of microclimate on tree distribution. Comparing the distribution of large and small trees can give an indication of what the composition of the forest may look like in the future. Site Description: The forest composition lab was carried out in Newton Hills State Park. The park is one of the largest forests in the area. The park is mostly trees along with intermittent prairie, the Big Sioux River is off to the east, and a smaller creek runs through the hills of the park. Trees of the forest include: prickly ash, red pine, hackberry, basswood, ironwood,…

sum of all N. RD for each species of tree, sapling or shrub, and seedling shows what percentage of the total density that species accounts for. Relative frequency (RF) was equal to F/G x 100, where F was frequency and G was the sum of all F; it shows the how often each species of tree, sapling or shrub, and seedling occurred out of the total occurrences of all species. To determine how much area each species accounted for in the site, basal area was calculated by πd2/4, where d was the measured…

Cayuta, N.Y. (WENY) -- This winter's unseasonably warm weather is creating a change for maple syrup producers. The shift in temperatures has many farmers unsure of when or how long their tapping season will last. Even though many syrup producers begin to tap their trees in mid-February to mid-March, this season's unpredictable weather have put maple producers in a sticky situation. "The weather this year has us kind of scrambling. With some of the recent storms, and a lot of wind, we've…

A Swinger of Birches Hardened by the daily toils and responsibilities, the soft innocence of youth is easily forgotten with age. Walking through the woods in solitude, a man lets his busy mind wander for a moment. With the sight of trees swaying in the wind, his mind understands that the heavy ice and snow is what bends the thin trees. But his heart wonders if it was a boy’s doing – climbing to the top of the trees just to bend them enough so he can let go and fall safely to the ground – that…

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but I see those words not in details in the picture, but the stories and lesson it speaks. I look at a picture that looks like any other you would typically see. It’s only a picture of a smiling boy in a frozen forest. But to me, I see a story and a life of someone in a different mindset that I can relate to. This person was not as adventurous and I would have liked, but once it came down to it, I didn't regret involving myself in these…

What kind of journey is the speaker thinking about what metaphorical journey is going on? How does the speakers ideas change. How can the poem be related to the heroes journey? It seam that the speaker is explaining the life of a boy through his adventures with the outside world, specifically birch trees. In the first lines the speaker shows his attentiveness towards the birch tree. He watches the birch trees “bend to left and right.” The speaker examines the trees so closely because the tree…

In Anderson’s book Speak, Anderson uses this quote “This looks like a tree, but it is an average, ordinary, everyday, boring tree. Breathe life into it make it bend— trees are flexible, so they don’t snap. Scar it, give it a twisted branch— perfect trees don’t exist. Nothing is perfect. Flaws are interesting. Be the tree.” (Anderson pg.153). Meaning, people go through many things in their life and hide their scars where no one will notice and raise any questions that pass the mind. You may see a…

shrubs. Without willows to eat, beavers declined. Without beaver dams, fast-flowing streams cut deeper into the terrain. The water table dropped below the reach of willow roots. Now it’s too late for even high levels of wolf predation to restore the willows.” This shows that the wolves were a keystone species and were essential for Yellowstone to have so that there would not be a trophic cascade. The wolves were the reason that biodiversity was increased in Yellowstone and they show how…

Imagine all the trees are gone, and everything is plastic. We run off man-made air. There is one tree left and it is owned by the government and you can’t get closed to it. Roosevelt’s claim relates to Autumnime with vital reasons of how we should conserve our resources better before they are all gone. In Autumntime everyone is living off of man-made air. There are no real trees left, but one. The government owns it, nobody is allowed to go very close to it. One child takes an acorn after…

communicating with nature energetically is in reality more compensating than the obligations that go with grown-up life. In great composition there are normally various conceivable topics. It relies upon how the reader sees the function. In "Birches" we may state that the subject is something like "the memory of the joy of youth is a relief from the cares of adult life." Or, on the off chance that one wanted to work the possibility of nature into a topic, we may state, "The interaction of man…
