Investigation into Succession in Sand Dunes. Scientific Knowledge: Succession is a long-term direction of change in the composition of a community‚ brought about by the organisms themselves. Primary succession occurs when a community develops on bare/uncolonised ground‚ which has never had vegetation growing on it. A good example of primary succession is that of succession on sand dunes. Secondary succession occurs on ground that has previously been colonised but is now available because

Melodia Ferraris left properties in Cebu City consisting of 1/3 share in the estate of her aunt Rosa Ferraris. Ten years have elapsed since the last time she was known to be alive‚ she was declared presumptively dead for purposes of opening her succession and distribute her estate among heirs. Hence‚ a petition for the summary settlement of her estate was filed. Melodia left no surviving descendant‚ ascendant or spouse‚ but was survived only by collateral relatives: 1) an aunt and half-sister of

Case in point the Southern New England woodland incorporates 20 or 30 tree species while in the rainforest of Peru there are colossal amounts of types of trees (Patrick 15). There are likewise extra approaches to view biodiversity and that is in stages. These stages can be the "assorted qualities of more noteworthy vegetation‚ amount of species‚ or communicated

The Rainforest Ecosystem ENV 100 April 15 2013 The Rainforest Ecosystem “In an average year in a tropical rain forest‚ the climate is very humid because of all the rainfall‚ which amounts to about 250 cm per year” ("Discover The Rainforest "‚ 2011). The rain forest has large amounts of rain because it is very hot and wet. Tropical rainforests are defined by rainfall. They would not survive without it. Not all rain forests have tropical sunny

Biotic is anything that is living and Abiotic is anything that is non-living. An example of biotic factor from the movie would be a Pig‚ Dinosaur‚ and Birds. An example of an abiotic factor would be Rocks‚ Building‚ and water. A Purebred animal is an animal that is its own breed and isn’t mixed with any other animal. A hybrid is an altered animal or an animal that is a mixed breed. An example of a hybrid would be the Indominus Rex. The rex was designed and altered by scientist in the lab.

Succession in Tree Type from Field to Forest Alyssa Estabrooks October 21‚ 2013 Ecology 2101 Group #3/Thursday PM Succession and diversity in a local field and forest of Sackville‚ NB was measured using a quadrat sampling method. Tree species were counted and recorded to numerically represent the difference in species between the two chosen locations. Using our diversity indices‚ we found that the forest had a higher diversity based on both the Shannon-Weiner

Consistent effects of productivity and disturbance on diversity between landscapes By Jonathan Tonkin and Russell Death INTRODUCTION Nowadays‚ ecologists are trying to formulate various models to explain diversity patterns because there are lots of factors that can influence diversity but there is a little progress pertaining to this concern. In terms of lotic systems’ diversity‚ there has been a minute support for any of the major diversity models. Consequently‚ it was found that productivity

at high level breaches the enzyme will break down‚ and the reaction will never occur. This could kill the organism that the enzyme belonged to. In this lab‚ the reaction of a potato enzyme‚ catalase‚ was measured by use of bubble height. The two abiotic factors that we were using to test the catalase were high-low temperatures and high-low pH systems. For the temperature experiment I hypothesized that the higher temperature would yield more enzyme activity‚ and therefore a taller bubble column due

Trillions of dollars are given away freely every year in the form of ecological services. Most people take for granted the services that our ecosystems provide at no cost. These services are essential to our way of life and happen behind-the-scenes on a daily basis. Protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays is one such service that we take for granted. Support and growth of plants‚ wildlife‚ and bacteria that supply the majority of medicines is another important service. Unfortunately many
