eusocial insects. Termites mostly feed on dead plant material‚ generally in the form of wood‚ leaf litter‚ soil‚ or animal dung‚ and about 10% of the estimated 4‚000 species (about 2‚600 taxonomically known) are economically significant as pests that can cause serious structural damage to buildings‚ crops or plantation forests. Termites are major detritivores‚ particularly in the subtropical and tropical regions‚ and their recycling of wood and other plant matter is of considerable ecological importance

In order to help create healthy forests‚ volunteers are asked to remove aggressive weeds‚ maintain areas where these weeds have been removed‚ or plant trees and shrubs. In this volunteer service‚ we were mainly responsible for getting rid of English Ivy‚ an invasive species in the area. Currently‚ a large proportion of the lands and trees in LaVilla Meadows are covered by English Ivy‚ making the

Introduction There are about a million different kinds of seeds in our world with all of the different types of plants that we have. One type of seed that takes between three to five days to germinate is a daikon radish. The radish (Raphanus sativus ) originated from China. It was commonly seen and eaten by the people of Egypt long before the Egyptians started to construct their very own pyramids. Later on‚ radishes became a common vegetable to eat in Greece‚ and since the radish meant so much worth

Originally‚ the idea was the plant around 2000 Holm Oak trees deliberation they decided to plant more than one type of tree for several reasons. For more biodiversity and in the case that a tree catches a life threating disease the others won’t get infected. At the end the project grew and many schools companies and other organisations join to plant the tree on the forest now hold around 20000 trees. Many trees are still young woodland and

Soil has different characteristics such as texture and structure‚ these characteristics exert a great influence on the suitability of the soil as a medium for plant growth‚ it determine the water and mineral storage‚ aeration and resistance to root penetration (Kramer and Boyer‚ 1995). The relative proportions of sand‚ silt and

have triggered germination because radish seeds need a sustained period of germination‚ because water washes away chemicals that prevent germination that block the passage of water to the endosperm. This is to make sure that one shower of water to plants in a normally dry season doesn’t trigger germination. This is similar to what occurred in the experiment. The seeds were soaked‚ but were placed on a dry paper towel afterwards. This means that the radish seeds need a very sustained amount of water

All other conditions were the same for all seedlings. The growth rates are shown in Table 1. Table 1.
