Invasive Plants
Invasive plants: approaches and predictions
I chose this topic because I want to know what is being done about the invasive plants and on our earth and how people have come up with ideas to prevent invasive plants . I have also chosen this topic just for my own knowledge.
Aim: To determine if improving management as well as continuous effort will be needed to stop invaders. Hypothesis: it was expected that good management and continuous effort would be needed to stop any invaders.

The source is not relevant right know as this experiment was done years ago and technology has advanced since this experiment was done. However the experiment could be reliable in the future as we could use old experiments to help find answers for new experiments.

Aim: To determine if water quality guidelines are important for the management of water sources.
Hypothesis: it was expected that water quality guidelines are important for the management of water sources.
I would not credit this source because it was done years ago and now that new studies have been done it makes this experiment irrelevant and this experiment is based on risks.
Chemical and physical properties as indicators of forest soil quality: changes and opportunities
At first I was unaware that chemical and physical properties could act as indicators of forest soil quality.
Aim: To determine if functions and values provided by forest ecosystems rely on many soil physical, chemical, biological properties as indicators of soil quality.
Hypothesis: It was expected that the functions and values provided by forest ecosystems rely on many soil physical, chemical, biological properties as indicators of soil quality.
This source would be reliable for first time readers as it is simple and for those that show interest in this topic or a topic similar to this.

    They collected 1280 samples. The samples were from soil samples within 1 meter of the base of the trees. These samples were collected within two different seasons throughout 2 sites from two different tree species. Once the samples were gathered they randomly sampled nine ECM fungal root tips and nine non-ECM fungal root tips per core sample. The root samples were looked at for acid phosphatase and luciene aminopeptidase activity. They then tested the root samples and later, in spring 2013, tested the soil health at all locations where the root samples were taken from. Then from there they analyzed the data…

    invasive plants

    I research some information of Iris Pseudacorus which is commonly known as Yellowflag Iris. It is native to Europe, Western Asia, and northwest Africa. Especially, Pseudacours is one of two iris species native to British Island. It was brought to Canada and the U.S in the early 1900s in order to use as an erosion control plant such as used in sewage treatment cells. In recent decade, the plant is used in landscaping and sold through garden and plant dealers and over the internet, since it has attractive appearance. It has escaped cultivation in certain area rapidly, especially it's easily found in wetlands, meadows, and ponds. Due to fast growing in wetland, it invades along coastal California. According to some records, the plant has historically been used as an herbal remedy, most often as an emetic. Although we could use it for the remedy, the plant is fast growing, spreading quickly, by both rhizome and water-dispersed seed. This causes to displace native vegetation, reducing food and habitat for native animals, especially it could cause gastroenteritis in cattle. Where it is invasive, it is tough to remove on a large scale. Even the plant has potential to invade similar ecosystems in different U.S regions, to prevent it's fast spreading out, there is no biological control work has been done for this plant. We could consider to use aquatic plant chopping machine, but there is no consideration or serious harmful damaging by the plant yet, so not using it. I've seen it before when I go lake area, and I simply thought it is pretty. When I found the name on the invasive plant list, I surprised that this causes issue to us. Now I have more information about it, so next time when I see it, there might be a different impression and willing discuss about the plant with my friends.…

    Soil Ph of Winthrop

    The definition of vegetation is plants considered collectively especially those found in a particular area or habitat. The amount of vegetation that occurs in soil depends on the type of habitat that the soil belongs to. Each habitat has inhibitors and prohibitions that affect the amount of vegetation that each plot of soil is capable of producing. Inhibitors of soil are plots that receive a decent amount of sunlight and precipitation; while prohibitors are soil erosion, temperature, lack of precipitation and P.H. Winthrop University’s research area is 325 acres; which includes a large wooded area, three successional plots, and 1.1 acre wetland area. The successional plots are 50 x 50 meters and each of the plots is five years apart in age. The oldest plot was originally created in 1989. In a previous study on the Chinese Loess Plateau to determine how physiochemical properties, microbial biomass, and enzyme activities changed the natural succession for abandoned farm land. The experiment involved aged and abandoned farmland from zero to fifty years old and the results were the PH was lower for the older farmland compared to the younger farmland.(Wang, Liu, Xue, Zhu, paragraph 1) Pertaining to the results of the past study, the objective of the study was to evaluate…

    Invasive Species

    The invasive species are harmful for native systems and time and money should be invested to prevent these species from spreading and damaging systems that they are not native to. Strict rules for environmental obedience are necessary and good. Much more needs to be done to protect our planets and its biodiversity from the invasion of alien species. When non-native species from other ecosystems are introduced, they can upset that balance and bring harm to the established plants and animals, and the whole ecosystem. Non-native species come from somewhere else and they are not natural to the ecosystem they have been introduced to. They may be harmless and beneficial in their natural surroundings, but they can totally devastate different environments. Established ecosystems have developed their own natural balance and controls over time, and the plants and animals within those systems find this balance suitable for survival, or they have been able to adapt in order to survive within those conditions. When alien species enter into an ecosystem, they can disrupt the natural balance, reduce biodiversity, degrade habitats, alter native genetic diversity, and further jeopardize endangered plants and animals. When there are no established natural controls, such as predators to keep the non-native harmful species in check, there can be a population explosion of the invasive non-native species causing an ecological disaster.…

    Soil reflectance spectroscopy is a well known technique to assess soil properties rapidly and quantitatively both in point (Spectroscopy) and image (Imaging Spectroscopy (IS)) domains. The quantitative approach has been developed in the past two decades by many researchers and many papers have been published on this subject in the scientific literature. Basically, the quantitative approach has been adopted from other disciplines (e.g. food, textile, pharmaceutical); whereas the mapping approach has been developed by incorporating spectroscopy with remote sensing means (IS).…

    Invasive Species

    Although invasive species are a serious environmental, economic and social problem worldwide, could it be more of a natural process than human intention? For example, wind is able to carry seeds, pollens, and plants from continent to continent and make them become invasive. Furthermore, “The Bering land bridge, which joined present-day Alaska and eastern Siberia at various times during the Pleistocene ice ages, is believed to have enabled human and animal migration to the Americas from Asia about 20,000 years ago” (Lockwood, 108). In addition, most of our food crops are intentionally introduced but turned out to be very beneficial. However, it is important to remember that even though not all introduced species are invasive and harmful, but most of them are highly demanding and ecologically unfriendly.…

    The Borneo Rainforest

    The seasons do not change in the Tropical Rainforest; it’s always hot and wet. The average temperature year-round is about 80 degrees, and its precipitation is about 100 to 400 inches a year (13). The heat and moisture in the rainforest cause plants and animals to rot quickly once they have died. When these organisms decay, all the rich nutrients are recycled back into the soil to feed the roots of other plants (15). The Soil is infertile, deeply weathered and severely leached. Rapid bacterial decay prevents the accumulation of humus (13). The concentration of iron and aluminum oxides gives the soil a bright red color and sometimes produces mineral deposits (15).…

    Changes in land use and management can affect soil characteristics as well as soil quality. The term soil quality can be defined as the overall activity of a soil within an ecosystem that preserves biological activity and environmental quality, thus promoting plant and animal health (Doran et al. 1994). Alterations in soil properties and processes can affect functions that soils perform in the environment, which in turn influence patterns of plant growth (Ahuja 2003). Changes in land use influence several soil processes, such as oxidation, mineralization, leaching, and erosion, thus modifying soil function (Wang et al. 2001). Therefore, serious concerns about soil quality exist. In this context, concerns about soil as a major…

    This manual provides technical guidance to States, Indian Tribes, and other authorized jurisdictions to establish water quality criteria and standards under the Clean Water Act (CWA), to protect aquatic life from acute and chronic effects of nutrient overenrichment. Under the CWA, States and Indian Tribes are to establish water quality criteria to protect designated uses. State and Indian Tribal decisionmakers retain the discretion to adopt approaches on a case-by-case basis that differ from this guidance when appropriate and scientifically defensible. Although this manual constitutes EPA's scientific recommendations regarding ambient concentrations of nutrients that protect resource quality and aquatic life, it does not substitute for the CWA or EPA's regulations; nor is it a regulation itself. Thus, it cannot impose legally binding requirements on EPA, States, Indian Tribes, or the regulated community, and might not apply to a particular situation or circumstance. EPA may change this guidance in the future.…
