Biodiversity of invertebrates found in leaf litter in the Solebury woods Introduction: We are trying to compare the biodiversity of leaf litter invertebrates in forested areas on each side of the horseshoe trail on Solebury School’s campus. Each area has significantly different ecological histories. Leaf litter invertebrates are essential to the forests wood web. At the base off the food web are the main producers which would be trees or shrubbery. Then there are the primary

Sit English 112 10|1|14 The Truth About Invasive Species by Alan Burdick In Alan Burdick ’s Essay "The Truth About Invasive Species"‚ the author reveals the opposing effects of competition between native species and alien species. In an ecosystem‚ alien species cannot prevail over native species‚ thats why the fight for survival is always a competition and not an agreement. Burdick uses metaphors of flora and fauna in comparison to the human population‚ to suggest a change over the past few

Tropical rain forest is very important for our nature such as for ecosystem balance‚ earth temperature and flora and fauna habitat. In our country Malaysia‚ most of the forest are announced as a forest reserve to preserve our forest from destroyed. Not only important to flora and fauna but also to people. For some people‚ their lives depends on forest. However‚ deforestation activity by irresponsible people has led to imbalanced ecosystem. First of all‚ the effect of deforestation is pollution especially

An invasive species can be any kind of living organism an amphibian‚ plant‚ insect‚ fish‚ fungus‚ bacteria‚ or even an organism’s seeds or eggs that is not native to an ecosystem and which causes harm. Species that grow and reproduce quickly‚ and spread aggressively‚ with potential to cause harm‚ are invasive species. Invasive species are primarily spread by human activities‚ often unintentionally. People‚ and the goods we use‚ travel around the world‚ and they often carry uninvited species with

Not only will we lose our valuable trees which have taken millions of years to grow‚ we will also lose various rare species of animals and plants. This will affect the Ecosystem and put many rare species of both plants and animals in danger of extinction. Although people are concerned that if deforestation was banned‚ then peoples jobs and lively hoods will be lost. However new jobs can be created in order to maintain and

Some of these invasive creatures have caused the extinction of whole species and have caused irreparable damage to the surrounding ecosystem. For example‚ alien insects‚ organisms‚ plants cause damage to crops and forests. Some invasive fishes contributed to the disappearance of a lot of fish species through predation and competition for food. Migratory crab‚ during his mass migration

In the Alaskan Tundra‚ abiotic factors include wind‚ temperature‚ and sunlight. Abiotic factors are nonliving things that influence or affect the ecosystem and the organisms in it. Factors such as wind‚ temperature‚ and sunlight can have a lasting effect on an ecosystem such as an Arctic Tundra. In the Alaskan Tundra‚ strong and persistent winds rush through the air. These winds desiccate and abrade plant tissues‚ contributing to one of the many factors of why tundras aren’t able to grow trees.
