I will first list trees there are pines,oak,maple,elm trees, evergreen spruce, fir,and the deciduous larch. Second I will list plants Blue Bead lily,Goldthread,and Pearly Everlasting.

The cross-sections demonstrated the basic differences that distinguish a monocot plant for a dicot plant. When looking at the cross-section of the monocot stem you can see that the vascular bundles are scattered. These vascular bundles consist of only a phloem and xylem. The phloem is responsible for transporting soluble compounds (food) created by photosynthesis, to the rest of the plant, especially where they are needed. The xylem is important for the movement of water throughout the plant. Another difference that can be seen by looking at the cross-section of at stem is that the ground tissue (parenchyma) is not partitioned into pith and cortex. In the dicot stem cross-section the vascular bundles form a ring and they are made up of a phloem, xylem, and a cambium which divides the two. The ground tissue (parenchyma) for a dicot is separate into a pith (nutrient storage and distribution) and a cortex (conducting tissues). The Leaf cross-sections reveal the venation of each plant. For monocots, the veins appeared run parallel to each other, while the veins for the dicot plant had no clear pattern. The root cross-sections also displayed differences between the groups belonging to the phylum Anthophyta. The root cross-section of a monocot is formed by vascular bundles that are arrange in a ring. In the dicot root cross-section, the xylem is at the center in the form of an

The WC was only found in the B6 to the C10 indexes, which showed the middle stage. Also, the cactus found only in indexes C7 to D10 represented the late stage, or the “climax community”. We also found the CJ appearing in the early middle, showing the zone that it occurs in. The tall green leaf plant was found only during the early B stage, therefore, it must only survive in dry, sandy soil. In addition, we found some horse tails only in the A index, this represents a primary succession, whereas in index D, it may have been more of a secondary succession due to the soil being wetter and

growth rings of a tree.? As with trees, the size of these rings might vary from city to city. Under

The topography of the island is also of note. The west end of the island features a closed-canopy forest with more hardwood trees. The east end of the island is better characterized as a “boreal forest,” a term used to describe regions that are mostly covered by coniferous forests. It is good to note that the balsam fir is found on both ends of the island, but that samples used in the study from the west end of the island were, on average, older, but shorter, than those samples found on the east side of the island.

Stems:The relatively thick flowering stem up to 3 cm across is erect or upright direction and grows 2-6 m tall. They are hollow and greyish-green to yellowish-green in colour.

Please record the address of the property where the samples were collected, or—even better—provide GPS coordinates). You will bring these leaves to the college and will identify the trees they came from using accepted scientific methodology. I will give you guidance in how to identify the tree species. (Note that this may involve meeting outside of class time). You will then write a paper, using the same format as your regular lab report, on the identity of the trees, whether they are native to our area or not, and discuss why they might be growing where you found them. Your paper will be reviewed and you will have the option to either accept the grade given, or correcting any problems found. If problems are corrected, your grade will be raised to the maximum and your paper submitted for possible publication online at www.saturnjournal.org. This will be worth 10 bonus points. 3. Extra exam credit. There will be four bonus points available on each of the two lab practicals, and five bonus points on the final lecture exam, for a total of thirteen bonus points. Total bonus points available = 30. When added to your lowest qualifying exam grade, this equates to a maximum of six (6) points added to your final course average. EXAM POLICY: A. Repeating exams. Please note that each exam may be taken once only. Exams may not be repeated because you are not happy

These areas are called the Coastal, Lowland, Temperate rain forest, Montane, Subalpine, and Alpine. The most common trees and plant in the Coastal Forest is the Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), Salal (Gaultheria shallon), and the Deer fern (Blechnum spicant). Second, the Lowlands common species are Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Coast Red Elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), and Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa). Third, the Temperate Rain Forest most common trees and plants are Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis), Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Licorice fern (Polypodium glycyrrhiza), and Oregon Oxalis (Oxalis oregana). Fourth, the Montane Forest includes the Alaska Yellow-Cedar (Chaemaecyparis nootkatensis), Salal (Gaultheria shallon), and Coralroot (Corallorhiza mertensiana). Fifth, the Subalpine Forest trees and plants are the Mountain Hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana), Blueberries (Vaccinium sp.), and Avalanche Lily (Erythronium montanum). And lastly the Alpine Forest includes only a few common species the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), and Flett’s violet (Viola flettii). The variety of tree and plant seem to change with

To see the differences of the two sites, basal area, density, species richness, and the Shannon diversity index were used. Basal area and density is the average amount of space of trees in hectares. Basal area is taken using the tree diameters while density uses the number of trees. Species richness is the number of species found. Abundance of each species is used to find the Shannon diversity index. The Sorensen similarity index compares the areas based on the number of the same species. Also, different species were looked at to find the relative basal area, relative density, and importance value of the trees. There were differences and similarities in both

Bois Trompette (Cecropia peltata L.) become abundant, as well as the Plumeria of diverse species. The palms trees are not numerous, not even the Cocothrinax which is found everywhere in Cuba. Here and there a Latanier (fig.2) (Cocothrinax scoparia Becc.), is seen coming out of the broom factory (fig.3)

Stems are long and weak, square in cross section, prickly (spiny) with glands on young parts. Leaves are matt, mid-green, deeply veined and sometimes hairy. The lamina is pear or oval shaped, pointed to broadly-rounded apex, rounded base, round or regular toothed margins with wrinkled and strigose (sharp oppressed rigid bristly hairs) upper surface. When the leaves are crushed, a strong and distinctive odour is exuded. Flower heads have many smaller flowers. Each flower is tubular-shaped and have 4 spreading lobes (petals), changing colour with age. The colours would be a various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red or pink. Fruit is a berry or drupe arranged in clusters. The fruit is green and becomes purple-black when mature. This plant takes over huge areas usually in moist gullies, along drainage lines and around wetlands. It can be found scrambling high into tree tops. The intense growth of the weed restricts any plant to grow beneath it or around it. This results in plant growth being restricted and not allowing plantation to develop.

The Sawtooth Oaks (or “Kunugi” in Japanese) provide a necessary source of nutrients to the growth of Shiitake mushrooms and produces the log wood cultivated Shiitake food product, in addition to stimulating the forest’s metabolism and recharging the water resources, as well as maintaining the unique agriculture and forestry industries such as rice paddy agriculture and conserving the various ecosystems.

Kelp is a weird plant, you think. It’s slimy and feels weird between your fingers. It’s filmy and almost smooth but not quite. Kelp is interesting though. Despite being slimy, it doesn’t actually slip against itself when wet. Air bubbles connect leaves to the stem of the plant and help it rise towards the surface so it can reach sunlight. The air bubbles and leaves are also almost like notches and hooks that get tangled together in strong currents.

Thompson Division tota Costs to Birch Paper = $288, being $400 made up of $280 for materials (linerboard and corrugating medium) and $120 for other costs. However because Thompson sources its materials from Southern division who make a $112 profit on materials, the total Cost to Birch Paper Company is materials $168 + other cost $120 = $288

Our lab investigated the morphological characteristics of leaves found in the sun and shade on various species of maple and oak trees around campus. Our null hypothesis was Acer and Quercus acclimate similarly with regards to SLW (specific leaf weight), size, and sinuosity. Our hypothesis was Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity. We tested these hypotheses by picking small sections of a branches from both maple and oak trees. A group was assigned either a maple or an oak tree, and needed a total of three different trees per group. Once three different trees were chosen, groups needed three shade leaves and three sun leaves of off each different tree. In total, each group should then end up with 18 leaves for testing. After collecting the leaves, we ran them through the LiCor 3100 leaf area meter to identify the area of each leaf. Major results found by the classes’ mutual data was each one of our p-values were greater than .05. This means that we failed to reject the null hypothesis. Thus, the lab results do not support our hypothesis that Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity.
