2a. What abiotic factors might account for any differences between different types of habitats‚ such as disturbed and less disturbed hillsides? Explain. Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect ecosystems. These include temperature‚ light (sun exposure)‚ soil composition‚ rocks‚ water‚ air pollution‚ humidity‚ radiation‚ and wind that can influence a species’ ability to survive. In each case the impact on the ecosystem will depend on the intensity

And wood on a shrub that isn’t quite hardwood nor softwood is what else‚ semi-hardwood. Early summer is a great time to take semi-hardwood cuttings of your spring flowering shrubs and root them. Many ornamental shrubs such as witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) and flowering quince (Chaenomeles x superba) are easy to root. Tree cuttings are often more difficult to root

Agroforestry is an integrated approach of using the interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock.

California is a state of enormous diversity. From the coast to the mountains and the forests to the deserts‚ California is full of a wide array of plant life. California is the third largest state in the United States and thus has a major variation in climate resulting in the many plants found. Not only are there many plants found here‚ but many of those plants cannot be found anywhere else. There are also many nonnative plants that have become a part of the scenery in California.

Many typical members of the shrub flora are aromatic (for example‚ sage‚ rosemary‚ thyme‚ and oregano) and contain highly flammable oils. Mediterranean regions have long been
