Abstract In our Berlese Funnel lab we sampled two different types of forest‚ deciduous and coniferous‚ both on our school campus. We set up multiple funnels in our classrooms with heat directly above them. After collecting leaf litter from our designated forest we placed them in a funnels above beakers of alcohol. We let them sit for two nights in a row and while in class checked for different organisms under microscopes. We calculated the different amount of species and how many there were of each

Trees that the Forest Tent Caterpillar attacks in New York are basswood‚ ash‚ sugar maple‚ alder‚ cherry‚ elm‚ apple‚ aspen‚ birch‚ and oaks. Trees that are not hosts for this pest are conifers‚ red maple‚ and sycamore. The New York State of Department of Environmental Conservation also says that in the Western US and Canada‚ that trembling aspen are hosts to the FTC (Kraus). The Forest Tent

leaves to eat. A brief description of the procedure is that the leaves were put in a Petri dish full of sand and sow bugs. Then there were recordings of how much of each leaf the Sow bugs had eaten each day. Observations on what the Sow bugs had eaten‚ and how they were acting were recorded everyday. The Sow bugs preferred the Hickory leaf above all leaves involved in this experiment. Introduction Some background information on Sow bugs is that Sow bugs feed on decomposing organic material. Such as:

The natural world is extremely varied‚ so an easier way biologists and people can better understand the Earth’s environment and its ecosystems is to categorize it into groups called biomes. Biomes are arranged by specific environmental conditions (i.e. rainfall‚ temperature‚ and humidity) and house specific types of vegetation or factors that allow organisms adapt to these environments. Cataloguing organisms that share similar adaptations makes it easier to study all the environments found on Earth

Updike uses lots of colorful organization as he describes nature and its qualities. “The maples were colored like apples‚ part orange and red‚ part green.” (Lines 4-6).

This canopy area is usually a moist area that is around the sugar maple trees. Therefore‚ the Cut-Leaved Toothwort‚ likes the shade and rich soil. The next plant listed is called the Dutchman’s Breeches. The scientific name for this plant is Dicentra cucullaria. Dicentra cucullaria is located in forest areas‚ also the

Iroquois The next group of people I chose to research on was the Iroquois. The Iroquois are part of the woodland Indians and are also known to be one of the most recognized in that group. For thousands of years‚ they have lived near the lower Great Lakes in Ohio‚ Pennsylvania‚ New York and also further north into Canada. The Iroquoians were very smart and learned how to use the forests around them as a source of what they needed. They also grew corn‚ beans and squash on fields which then became

Johnny Greavu Jesse Kroese June 28‚ 2015 Field Report #2 Wood Lake Nature Center & Shadow Falls Wood Lake Nature Center is a 150-acre (0.24 square miles) natural lake preserve featuring freshwater cattail marsh and floodplain forest habitats. The lake is dominated by cattail‚ the most photosynthetically active species in the Midwest. During the 1950s‚ Wood Lake offered some of the best fishing in the area‚ but its water table was drained about 10 feet to make way for the nearby highway. Richfield
