invasive plant removal in front of Haggett Hall/McCarty Hall. Our duty was to plant some helping plants that can help maintain the environment‚ such as Sword ferns and Wall lettuce. There were also other tasks available including implanting signs and trash-picking-ups. Yet‚ I found removing invasive plant more appealing to me and thus that became my primary duty of the day. Invasive plants are defined as nonnative plants that are carried into the country either intentionally or not. Invasive plants are

Humans have a negative effect on the tundra biome. Some of the effects are overhunting‚ global warming‚ oil drilling‚ and pollution. When endangered species encounter these issues they die and eventually become extinct. An example of overhunting is how sailors overhunt musk oxen and caribou for their fur and body meat. The fur gets used for clothing and the sailors eat the body meat. The musk ox is nearly extinct due to overhunting. When you over hunt a whole species‚ that species may go completely

different concentrations of salt water effect plants. The test that will be performed will prove which concentration will have the worst effect. The hypothesis is that by measuring the plants growth each day‚ the largest concentration of salt will harm the plants the most. First‚ the plants were purchased and the water was prepared with the salt concentrations. Second‚ the plants were watered each day with the different concentrations of salt. Third‚ the plants’ growth were observed and recorded each

How is man changing environment or biomes? Man is drastically changing the environment with all the needs he has. Humans cut down entire forests in the course of a month. Then we build buildings in its place making it impossible for anything to grow there. Those trees were a crucial part to the ecosystem and environment‚ which are now changed forever. We also drive cars‚ which emit exhaust‚ which in turn hurts our ozone layer and heats up the Earth. Once the ozone layer is damaged the ice caps

affect plant growth could be an interesting experiment. Our experiment consisted of different levels of Windex mixed with water and given to Brassica Rapa plants in order to grow. Are results showed that Windex barely had an effect on the plant growth and the plants showed steady increase in growth. In conclusion‚ our experiment did not assure that Windex add a boost in plant growth but we did find that small‚ insignificant amounts of Windex mixed with water were able to ingested by the plants.

TOMATO PLANT 1) Seed: Tomato seeds are small‚ flat and disk shaped and about 1/8 inch wide. They contain two energy storage organs called cotyledons and an embryo encased in a hard outer shell called the seed coat. The seed is the dormant or resting stage of the plant life cycle. When young tomato plants are damaged‚ they tend to go into a dormant‚ survival stage in which plant growth is delayed for a while. Frost damage is something to look out for when planting tomatoes early on in the season

Plant Adaptation Investigation Observations Samples of plants were obtained during the campus tour. In order survive in the harsh climate of deserts‚ plants must adapt in function‚ reproduction‚ support‚ and defense. Although plants on campus are watered frequently‚ they live in a mostly xeric environment. Three types of cacti were observed: organ pipe‚ prickly pear‚ and saguaro. The organ pipe contains no leaves and has narrow stems that carry out photosynthesis and store water. Neither the

The uses of plants in developing and producing vaccines For thousands of years‚ society has been brought to the brink of disaster thanks to the spread of resilient diseases and the plague of hardy viruses. However‚ humans have been aware for just as long of medicinal defence mechanisms against these ailments. The ancient Egyptians and Romans‚ as well as the primitive islander and Aboriginal communities‚ knew that certain herbaceous matter could help heal the wounded and sick. In more recent times
