    He then goes into the solutions that are being performed now. The solutions are not stopping the beetle but more of maintaining the devastation.

    The reading passage describes that due to the damage that occurs in forests as a result of fires and storms through the northwestern of the United States, a technique known as salvage logging is developed.

    Ash Borer Research Paper

    • 1106 Words
    • 5 Pages

    This less than one-inch bug has cost the government billions of dollars for destroying all 14 different ash trees (Emerald Ash Borer). The adult stage of the EBA isn’t the worriment, however the larva is. The larva of the bug buries in the bark of the trees and eats away at the phloem also known as the inner bark (Emerald Ash Borer). The phloem is similar to a human spine, it transports nutrients to support the tree as it grows (Iowa Association of Naturalists). If the larva eats away at this inner bark, the tree loses it’s strength and eventually dies. The trees can die within about five years, unless the tree were to be heavily populated with EBA, than it could die in a year or two. Travelers are unknowingly spreading the insect from state to state by simply moving firewood. There is research being conducted, but not enough is being done to understand how to stop this bug. Students and professors at Emerald Ash Borer University study all different kinds of trends of both the trees and the borer. One of the most common ways to tell if the EBA is affecting the tree is by looking at the canopy of the tree over a period of time. The students looked at the ash trees for five years and noticed a decline of leaves and branches on the tops of the trees, which led them to believe that the EBA was destroying…

    Grizzly Bear Diets

    • 3 Pages

    For a long time researchers have been trying to retrieve data on Grizzly bear diets. It is clear that all Grizzly bears have different habitats, food sources, and outside pressures such as human development. Although this is true Grizzly bears have been seen to commonly have the same diets over the course of seasonal shifts. For example, Grizzly bear diet and use of seasonally abundant, nutrient-rich food sources has been well documented throughout their range in North America. A wide diversity of foods is consumed, reflecting the species' omnivorous and generalist nature. Food-habit relations are therefore often locally variable, making extrapolations from other populations difficult. Even within a population, annual and seasonal variations in food productivity can alter…

    Not only were the trees being affected but the population in the area was also affected. Three populations survival in particular was endangered by the Once-ler’s actions. One of the populations affected were the Humming fish. These fish were located in Lake Erie and were unable to breathe through their gills due to water pollution from the Thneed factory. Another population that was affected was the Brown Barbaloos. The Brown Barbaloos did not have enough of a food supply to sustain life. This was because the fruit off the Truffula trees were their source of food and since the trees were quickly disappearing so was the Barbaloos food source. The Swammy Swams were also affected. They were not able to sing/breathe due to the air pollution from the factory. This can be related to problems in society today. Big companies are a big cause of pollution in the air and water. Also there are companies that clear cut forests down. Dr. Seuss reminds of these people, and uses the Once-ler as an…

    The protagonist in Snow Falling on Cedars is Ishmael Chambers. Ishmael Chambers is the local reporter of San Piedro Island and is Hatsue Miyamoto’s, wife of the accused, childhood sweetheart. Through direct characterization, the narrator describes Chambers as “a man of thirty-one with a hardened face, a tall man with the eyes of a war veteran. He had only one arm , the left having been amputated ten inches below the shoulder joint, so that he wore the sleeve of his coat pinned up with the cuff fastened to the elbow” (Guterson, pg.7). Chambers is insecure and resentful about his missing arm, the narrator states “He was keenly aware of his pinned up sleeve, and troubled because it troubled other people. Since they could not forget about it, neither could he” (Guterson, pg.31). Chambers is a kind and compassionate man. He did not show…
