salinity of Bulimba creek is too high. With a high conductivity level‚ less oxygen will be dissolved therefore resulting in organisms not able to survive. In typical circumstances‚ the roots of native plants absorb most water entering the dirt before it achieves the salt contained in groundwater underneath the plant root zone. On the other hand‚ widespread vegetation‚ poor area use‚ irrigation and modern practices have made it easier for salt to be transported to the dirt surface or to

Both Plants and fungi affect the carbon cycle though they do it in different ways- both of them interfere with it while they are attempting to get food/energy to survive on. Each have adapted so they can live in an environment where they can source enough food to survive. They get these things from different sources so grow in very different conditions in order to survive. Plants live in places with lots of sunlight as well as a place where they can source water whereas fungi can live almost anywhere

Plants are distributed worldwide in varying numbers. While they inhabit a multitude of biomes and ecoregions‚ few can be found beyond the tundras at the northernmost regions of continental shelves. At the southern extremes‚ plants have adapted tenaciously to the prevailing conditions. (See Antarctic flora.) Plants are often the dominant physical and structural component of habitats where they occur. Many of the Earth’s biomes are named for the type of vegetation because plants are the dominant

A molecule of water consists of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms joined by covalent bonds. Water as a liquid is vital to existence and plays extremely important roles in many aspects of both plant and animal lives. These aspects include temperature control‚ support‚ chemical reactions‚ transport and protection. Without the ability to control our temperature‚ we as humans would not be able to survive in our natural environment. If our internal body temperature was to rise or fall even a few degrees

creates a solid bottom for our other animals to use to their advantage‚ as well as the survival of our plants. After the soil and lake water was settled‚ we placed a number of rocks at the bottom of our biosphere. Next we filled our glass containers with lake water. This allowed our shrimp or snails a place to rest‚ provide calcium carbonate and serve as a nice decoration! After this we placed in our plant‚ which would use photosynthesis as a means to use up the toxic carbon dioxide given off by our living
