As habitat fragmentation in southern California split land‚ the integrity of the land changes. Habitat fragments that each has a decrease in area will have an increase in the total perimeter distance collectively (Morrison et al.‚ 2006). This increased area around the habitat exposes more of the internal habitat to the elements‚ reduces the habitat buffer‚ and in turn creates less optimal habitat for species in the fragment (Morrison et al.‚ 2006). This process‚ called edge effect‚ decreases the

Objective: The main objective is to demonstrate the law of Conservation of Mass. Use Vinegar and baking soda to demonstrate the law of Conservation of Mass. Introduction: The law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical reactions or physical changes‚ which means that no matter how dramatic of a change that a substance goes through‚ it will not lose mass. It may seem like it lost mass‚ and usually‚ if you weighed the result‚ it will have

Survival of the Northern Spotted Owl The Northern Spotted Owl can only live in old growth environment‚ it is considered an "indicator species": The health of the Northern Spotted Owl population indicates the health of the old-growth forest ecosystem. An individual Northern Spotted Owl needs more than 3‚000 acres of old growth to survive‚ because of its scarce food supply. The Northern Spotted Owl is found in the cool‚ moist woodlands on the Pacific Northwest. The habitat of the
