The freshwater biome | A lake at Acadia National Park‚ Maine. | Freshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration — usually less than 1%. Plants and animals in freshwater regions are adjusted to the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration (i.e.‚ ocean). There are different types of freshwater regions: * Ponds and lakes * Streams and rivers * WetlandsPonds and lakes These regions range in size from just a few square meters to thousands

Rumors occur); fear of the unknown; Lack of Competence; and poor timing. What role does diversity play in managing change? What are some possible strategies for managing diversity? What influence does diversity training have on organizations? * Diversity is a range of different things or a variety. I would believe that diversity and change would walk hand & hand. You can manage diversity through the hiring process and repeated education. The influence in education is a positive

There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of the ground.

PROTECTION OF NATIVE SPECIES There are numerous ways that non-native or exotic species can have a negative impact on our environment and the diversity of life on our planet. The statistics are very alarming and more attention should be paid to the problem and finding a solution to the problem before the cost is more than we can bear. When compared with other threats to Biodiversity‚ the introduction of exotic species ranks second with habit destruction ranking first for being the cause of extinction

When I started writing this forum reply I was focused only on the extinction rates of animals. While looking for resources I found articles talking about extinction rates of insects and plants throughout the world and how that will affect us as well. “We are confronting an episode of species extinction greater than anything the world has experienced for the past 65 million years. Of all the global problems that confront us‚ this is the

fascination of humans with this family of flowering plants. Undeniably‚ the beauty of many members of Orchidaceae has mesmerized many and led to a huge floricultural industry in the trade of orchids and its hybrids. Vanilla‚ one of the most used flavourings‚ is derived from the seed capsules of orchids. Orchidaceae is a special family not only because of its cultural and commercial importance‚ but also due to its unique structure and diversity. Members of this family have also formed special relationships

induce flowering plants to reproduce by clonal growth more frequently than sexual reproduction‚ and such environmental conditions can be temporary or long lasting (HONNAY and BOSSUYT‚ 2005). A plant species can form remnant population when stages of the life-cycle persist over time due the failure to complete the whole life cycle (Eriksson 2000). These remnant populations may play an important ecological role for ecosystem resilience‚ due to positive interactions with other plants and animals (e.g

are the plants and the tress in the ecosystem that provide the energy to the ecosystem. As for the desert the producers are cactus and grass. The consumers of the ecosystem are in three different kinds‚ they are herbivores‚ carnivores‚ and omnivores. Herbivores are the consumers that eat plants which in the ecosystem that I chose are jackrabbits‚ mice‚ quail‚ and insects. The carnivores eat meat. The carnivores in my ecosystem are scorpions‚ snakes‚ and lizards. Omnivores eat both plants and animals
