Arundo donax is one such species. It is a plant similar to reed or bamboo in that it is tall and straight in appearance. While Arundo donax is a dangerous species of plant that can severely harm

The UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 defined biodiversity as being the variability between all living organisms‚ terrestrial‚ marine and aquatic. This includes the diversity within species‚ between species and of ecosystems. A reasonable standard of living does not mean that a person should live at a luxury level‚ but neither does it mean that a person should only live at a subsistence level. It should be somewhere in between where the person can afford to eat nutritious food‚ buy clothes

Observations- Throughout the lad we viewed many different organisims and many different traits. This lab takes a look at the three domains Bacteria‚ Archea‚ and Eukarya‚ which contain animals‚ protists‚ fungi‚ bacteria‚ and plants. And throughout the lab we uncovered what makes each plant different and what makes each

Big Blue Stem enjoys moist soils and can easily be identified near the end of Wild Goose Woods- where the forest floor is always burdened by water. Alongside Big Blue Stem‚ I identified Indian Grass‚ Wool Grass‚ Porcupine Sedge‚ the Water Smartweed and the common water plantain. One plant I did not come across during my field work was the cattail

On very high mountains‚ like Himalayas‚ the limit above which chlorophyll-bearing plants cannot live appears to be about 6‚200 meters. In simple words‚ biosphere can be viewed as the part of the earth consisting of oceans and the surface of the continents‚ together with the adjacent atmosphere (i.e. the troposphere). However‚ polar

In this kingdom we have multi cellular organisms (Protista) which are not a part of nor do they fit‚ the Animal‚ Plant‚ or Fungus Kingdom. In the beginning‚ protozoa were placed in a sub-kingdom of Animalia but because of the problems this classification had‚ it later became it ’s own kingdom. All members of this phylum have what are known as nucleated cells and live in aquatic habitats (both freshwater and marine). According to Lynn Margulis‚ K.V. Schwartz and M. Dolan (1994)‚ the cells of

In typical circumstances‚ the roots of native plants absorb most water entering the dirt before it achieves the salt contained in groundwater underneath the plant root zone. On the other hand‚ widespread vegetation‚ poor area use‚ irrigation and modern practices have made it easier for salt to be transported to the dirt surface or to
