Keystone XL pipeline will be great for United States economy because it will bring more taxes to government from oil companies and public. However‚ the effect on the environment‚ economy and residents of America are destructive. The things through which people and environment will be affected are: Water‚ forest destruction‚ disease. First‚ the Keystone XL pipeline would travel through rivers such as Missouri river‚ Yellowstone‚ and Red rivers. Two million of population is depended on these rivers

Keystone species play a large role in each ecosystem‚ they have the ability to alter their ecosystem or be the reason they completely collapse. Keystone species are the reason that many different species exist‚ these other species highly depend on the keystone species for survival‚ if a single keystone species were to go extinct‚ it is likely for other species populations to decrease. Other species benefit from keystone species in a variety of ways‚ such as food supply‚ shelter‚ or a water source

President Obama should reject the Keystone XL pipeline. Canadian Alberta Oil Sands production is set to double by 2020‚ and the oil companies must find new markets for this oil. The key enabler to transport all this excess oil into new markets is a company called TransCanada‚ a Canadian pipeline company. Keystone XL pipeline is a project proposed by TransCanada with 1‚179 mile (1‚897 km)‚ 36-inch diameter crude oil pipeline beginning in Hardisty‚ Alberta‚ Canada and extending south through American

This research was processed through The Keystone Predator model‚ based upon experiments preformed in the 1960’s along the rocky shore of Washington. This environment is the region between the high and low tide levels of a rocky shoreline. The community and population of the environment must survive the cold air and the nature of waves. 9 different species and their populations were simulated. The simulated environmental community contains 4 species of mobile consumers‚ 3 species of filter feeders

devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) emerged in the mid-1990’s‚ the Tasmanian devils’ population has been on a rapid decline. As these devils are a keystone species of their ecosystem‚ their decline has allowed non-native predators such as cats and black rats to flourish and decrease the number of native prey. This effect is an example of the top-down keystone predator hypothesis. Due to the downfall of the devils‚ Australia’s once most intact faunal communities has diverted into an invasive state with
