The needle grass‚ a native species of California‚ was studied to investigate seed attributes of post fire communities. A ten-year seed from a post fire needle grass plant and another aged seed respectively from a non-fire treated plant were

In conclusion‚ different habitats lead to different feeding behaviors that allow them to take full advantage of the resources. One of the unique characteristics between

Because Arrakis is so dry‚ a Fremen scientist makes a plan that could make Arrakis full of plant life and running water‚ which is shown in the quote‚ “Our first goal on Arrakis is grassland provinces.

Mediterranean Scrub Introduction: Regions of Mediterranean-type climate occur roughly between 30° and 40° latitude on the west coasts of continents‚ where offshore there are cold ocean currents. Each region in which the Mediterranean shrublands and woodlands occur is island-like in character and thus there is frequently a high degree of endemism. Comparative studies of the several regional expressions of this biome reveal interesting examples of convergent evolution in plant families and birds (but
