Geoff Hibbs May 4‚ 2012 Primary Succession & Species Diversity of Flora on Mount St. Helens‚ 32 Years PostEruption On May 18 1980‚ Mount St. Helens‚ a stratovolcano in western Washington‚ erupted. The eruption scoured the slopes of the volcano removing vegetation and soil from the vicinity of the mountain. 32 years after the eruption‚ vegetation has returned to the mountain. The author’s main interest in this field is the methods by which vascular plants re-establish themselves after cataclysmic

The geological stability has been quite common in recent years for Australia‚ because Australia is in the middle of a tectonic plate. An erratic climate affect majorly on reproductive cycles and the survival rate of flora and fauna. These factors have shaped Australian environments uniqueness. Biological isolation

the guts biome and also its physiology. The gut flora has been described as a hidden organ that plays a crucial part in maintaining health. This makes maintaining hemostasis inside and out of the gastrointestinal tract vitally important. The epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract is of great importance because it provides a physical barrier‚ it decontaminates or eliminates detrimental intestinal substances‚ and it ensures the mucosal immune response. If there is any disturbance of the flora then

There are both good and bad bacteria. Good bacteria are good for the normal functioning of the stomach whereas bad bacteria are harmful to health. In a normal healthy person‚ stomach acid kills bad bacteria to prevent gut from

and Risk Factors C-diff infection is commonly acquired in hospitals and group homes‚ by people who are on‚ or have recently been on‚ antibiotics (The Mayo Clinic). C-diff exists‚ at undetectable levels‚ in the normal gut flora‚ but is contained by “good bacteria”. When normal gut flora is disrupted during antibiotic use‚ the C-diff is given a chance to multiply‚ causing disease (The Mayo Clinic). C-diff can also be contracted via the fecal-oral route when a person‚ be they a patient or caregiver‚ comes
