Discuss the ways in which distinctive ecologies can develop along routeways (10 marks) Routeways such as roads‚ railways and canals can provide habitats for many species of plant and insect life because they often act as protected areas in which ecological succession can occur. There are several ways in which this can happen. One way in which ecologies can develop along routeways is that plant seeds‚ e.g. Oxford ragwort or buddleia‚ that have become windborne can be transported along by cars or trains

passages yields the concept that nature possesses a conflict between the ideal and the reality. One way Steinbeck expresses this theme is through his use of imagery. For example‚ he illustrates this imagery in the way he describes the actions of the woodland environment and how it changes from the beginning to end.

designed to decrease soil erosion are wind breaks‚ such as a wall‚ or the planting of trees to keep the soil in place with the roots of the tree.
