The emus are mixed feeders herbivores‚ eating leaves‚ shoots‚ fruits‚ flowers‚ shrubs and grasses. The variation of the carbon values reflect the changes in the birds diet and hence the composition of the flora.

Climate‚ vegetation and fire influence positive and/or negative actions imposed on one another. Climate affects vegetation by means of any form of precipitation (rain‚ snow‚ fog‚ etc). Climate also affects the different types of vegetations that will burn after long periods or seasonally due to the variables of precipitation. Fires can be caused through natural impacts or through human endeavors. Fires usually arise after long dry hot periods in windy weather when humidity is relatively low. Under

It creates a clear opening that allows animals and sun loving shrubs like huckleberries to thrive. It allows animals like elk and deer to be able to forage food and flowers for the pollinators like bees and butterflies to thrive on. This is supposed to emulate what the land would be after a wildfire and it is helped

The Cyanea Kuhihewa was chosen because we didn’t know what it was and figured that we should learn about something new and difficult. A problem this plant faces is‚ it’s one of the world’s most endangered plant. It was found because it was a juvenile plant and it has been non-existent and last seen since 2003. The Cyanea Kuhihewa died because of a hurricane in Hawaii that impacted Kauai. Scientist are trying to create a genetic version of the plant but it will be a very hard process. The botanic

This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people." Trees‚ shrubs and turf also filter air by removing dust and absorbing other pollutants like carbon monoxide‚ sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. After trees intercept unhealthy particles‚ rain washes them to the ground. Trees control climate by moderating the
