The self-thinning law shows this relationship graphically and predicts the survival and growth of tree seedlings (Ricklefs 2014). The slope of the line should be approximately -3/2‚ which is the self-thinning law. The purpose of this experiment is to see how a tornado has affected the growth and progression of the Benedict/Johnson Forest Preserve. I

For more biodiversity and in the case that a tree catches a life threating disease the others won’t get infected. At the end the project grew and many schools companies and other organisations join to plant the tree on the forest now hold around 20000 trees.

Throughout the day‚ I stared in awe at all of the girls being consumed into the tunnel of leaves that sat under the sky. They climbed a fifty foot tree with the assistance of metal rings protruding from the bark‚ sat on a wooden plank when they reached the top‚ and slid off to glide across the thick wire that stretched almost 150 feet from tree to tree. I jolted down the rocky trail to reach the Ropes Course shed‚ a wooden hut filled with carabiners‚ harnesses‚ and helmets. I looked up to find the

The unification of the color blue within this work implies an imagined triangle and an overall balance. A thin brown tree trunk stands as the spine of this triangle directly behind the male.

It is called the Canopy Layer because it forms a roof over the two remaining layers‚ like a canopy. The canopy trees have oval‚ smooth leaves that come to a point.
