    The Acer rubrum would not be greatly affected if the marsh were to be drained because it has adapted to be able to live in drier habitats. However, the highest frequencies of tree’s that are located in Mer Bleue are in the ecotone, which is in the transitional zone. The ecotone receives its water from both the rain and marsh. This would cause a minor effect on the Acer rubrum in the area, but its roots would eventually adapt to the drier soil. As for the forest and field, the only source of water they have is rain because the elevation is much higher to that of the marsh, which ensures no disruption to the Acer rubrum in these areas. The soil throughout Mer Bleue is…

    In the first place, the ponds are full of Kate’s memory about childhood and hometown. They are Kate’s favorite places before she grew up. In the prologue, Kate mentioned that “there is no image of my childhood that I carry with me more clearly than that” (Lawson, p.4). Kate remembers her first trip to the ponds. “ I was so small he had to carry me on his shoulders-through the woods with their luxuriant growth of poison ivy, along the tracks, past the dusty boxcars lined up to receive their loads of sugar beets, down the steep sandy path to the ponds themselves”(Lawson, p.4). From riding on Matt’s shoulders to follow Matt to the ponds, they spent “hundreds of hours” (Lawson, p.5) there. Kate cherishes the vivid and sweet memory of the time she spent in the ponds. There, she lie down her stomach and watched into the water learning the natures ' secrets from Matt. “Her braids bob up and down in the water, making tiny ripples which tremble out across the surface of the pond. She is “completely absorbed” (Lawson p.5).…

    Wetlands are defined as lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic eco-systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water (Mitch and Gosselink, 1986). The value of the world's wetlands is increasingly receiving due attention as they contribute to a healthy environment in many ways. They retain water during dry periods, thus keeping the water table high and relatively stable. During periods of flooding, they mitigate floods and trap suspended solids and attached nutrients. Thus, streams flowing into lakes by way of wetland areas will transport fewer suspended solids and nutrients to the lakes than if they flow directly into the lakes. The removal of such wetland systems because of…
