The length of time that the species’ of bird appeared in the frame was 12.71, [pic] 17.08 seconds (the average + standard deviation). Discussion The significance of Sitta carolinesis observed at the feeder was very important to the research for future experiments. Sitta carolinesis help maintain a balance in the insect population, and dispose of seeds from a variety of plants. Whit-Breasted Nuthatches bird is common, it does not have a lot of documentation on its life history. The results of the bird living in small natural holes in trees can be a cause on why there is not a lot on their life

Study of Social and Environment Year 8 RAINFOREST ENVIRONMENTS Semester 2, 2011 Part A: Question (i): State whether or not rainforest soils are deep and rich or shallow and relatively infertile. Give reasons as to why this is the case. Answer (i): A major misunderstanding of rainforest is that they have deep rich and fertile soil. However this is not the case. Rainforest in reality have shallow and relatively infertile soil.
Plant Growth Investigation The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. The question I was attempting to answer was; what are the effects of different types of water on the growth of grass? My hypothesis was if we water the grass seeds with bottled, tap, and salt water, then the seeds getting the bottled water will grow the best and be the tallest at the end of the experiment because the bottled water doesn’t have the toxins that the salt and tap water will have. We needed a lot of materials to conduct our experiment they were; • 6 Seven ounce cups • Soil • Seeds (20 per cup) • The 3 types of water (Salt, Bottled, Tap) • Graduated Cylinder • Ruler • Pencils • Sharpie • Our chart/packet Our procedure was to first gather all of the materials we needed. We first labeled each cup with what type of water we were going to use.
• Over 2000 tropical forest plants have been identified as having anti-cancer properties. However, scientists have only tested 1 in 10 tropical forest plants for these properties and have only intensively screened 1 in 100. • 75% of Australia's tropical rainforest has been cleared since the late 1700s. • The tallest tropical tree in the world is recorded at 83 metres tall. • The largest flower on Earth comes from a tropical forest - the Rafflesia grows up to 1 metre across.
Rainforest Facts What is a rainforest? Some important things to remember about our Earth’s beautiful rainforests. A rainforest is a very thick forest filled with plants and trees that grow well in a very wet climate. There are so many trees that the bottom of the forest sees very little sunlight. Depending on its location the average yearly rainfal in rainforests is usually 68-98 inches (1750–2500 mm).
The Batek of Malaysia are a foraging society with a total population of 800 – 900 which is spread over three states, Pahang, Kelantan, and Terengganu. They subsist on plants, animals (including fish and monkeys), wild tubers, yams, fruit and honey. The Batek identify themselves as “people of the forest” and the forest as their dwelling place, source of food and refuge, and the basis for cultural continuity (Brookfield, 2007). They do not move randomly through the forest, but follow a well-defined network of walking trails and other pathways, which incorporate rivers, streams, and logging roads. Information is gathered from subtle signs, for example, from the sway of branches, the sounds of animals that penetrate through dense foliation, and from thunder and lightning.
Because of this, there were no forms of agriculture causing no need for deforestation. The introduction of the agriculture was one of the key factors to the start of deforestation, along with clearing room for cattle pastures, housing, roads, and valuable wood. As a result of multiple economic motives to clearing the rainforest, the total amount of cleared land
Varietal character, however, while somewhat predictable, is not precise; variations occur, since virtually all vines are propagated by cloning. Some grape types are more prone to clonal variation, than others. The name of a particular variety, therefore, should be considered a "surname" for vines that share a genetic history. Each varietal "family" may, in turn, include only a few or very many individual "sibling" clones, each with its own particular traits and its clonal name or number considered its "given" name. There are over 10,000 documented varieties within the sub-species Vitis vinifera (the "European" or "true" wine grapes).
Would this particular part of the atmosphere be nature or not? It’s a forest, with many plants, mammals, birds, bacteria. But it has not directly been reshaped by men, once there was no interaction between them. Hence it’s not that easy to fit it into
