Land Plants In The Galapagos Islands

Native Plant Study- The area that Lake Doonella is located in has great vegetation and variety of native plants which gives the native animals and local residents a beautiful home as well as a lovely sight for tourists. There are numerous different plants in all different shapes and sizes that call this area home. Some plants even have berries growing on them in many different colours for the animals to feed off. During the field walk there were many trees and plants but the most commonly viewable one was the Scribbly gum. ( shown in .. (ref off iBooks)

In 1976 there was a drought that caused many finches to die off in the Galapagos islands. Two scientists, Rosemary and Peter Grant, studied the island for 6 months each year for 5 years. They recorded, that during the dry season of 1976, there was not even a centimeter of rainfall. On average, rainfall during the dry season is about 12 centimeters. This drought continued through both seasons of 1977. During the wet season there was 25 centimeters of rainfall and 0 centimeters of rainfall during the dry season. The average rainfall during wet seasons at the Galapagos islands is 179 centimeters. Taken this information you can see how little rainfall can have a large effect on the ecosystem. The water deprived plants had a harder time producing

If not for Charles Darwin, shown on the right, the world might not see the Galapagos Islands how we do today. The islands hold exotic and extraordinary plants and animals. Of these animals, some are going extinct or have already gone extinct. There are many varieties of natural and introduced plant life.

More than half of the world’s tropical rainforests can be found in Central and South America, however they are also present in south eastern Asia and Africa. All of the world’s tropical rainforests can be found at the approximate location of -20 degrees latitude, also known as the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These types of areas exist because of the specific climate, soil types, and diversity present in these regions. This specific area falls in the equatorial and tropical zone and are therefore their climates are controlled by the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and it’s low pressure centers around the equator. Winds present are moist equatorial (mE) and moist tropical

What is the difference between a threatened species, an endangered species, and an extinct species?

The boreal forest, also known as tiaga, is the world’s largest land-based biome. This biome plays a great role in biodiversity and climate. It stretches across North America and Eurasia, taking up 11% of the earths land, and has no corresponding southern latitudes (Berg, 2012).

In the course of this work , we have demonstrated the strong survival skills of the cacti in the Sonoran Desert. They take full advantage of the rainy seasons in the desert, and strengthen their ability of absorbing and storing water; they change their appearance to adapt to the arid environment by, for example, evolving the leaves into the spines; they adjust the photosynthesis by separating it into two steps. All these changes that the desert plants have made allow them to acclimatize to the harsh environmental conditions in the desert.

“As a businessman, I believe that we should not invest in a zoo. The zoo would be a waste of money. People are hardly impressed or fascinated by an animal locked in a cage anymore and there is a slim chance that I will get the money I invested back. A zoo can take years to build and acres of land that we don’t have to spare. We’d be better off building factories in place of the zoo, and they’d make twice as much money twice as fast. While baby animals may bring in some visitors and money, the incentive to breed them can lead to overpopulation. If we built the zoo, we would have only accounted for a specific amount of animals. Breeding can lead to reduced space for all of them and we may need to let some go. Some people

Cuba is a country located in the Northern Caribbean. It is south of the United States and the Bahamas. Cuba is very diverse and is considered to be multiethnic. The population is approximately 11.2 million people. A few of Cuba’s natural resources are beans, coffee, sugar, tobacco, fish and fruit. The history of Cuba is very interesting due to the one party system and the wars and actions under the leadership of Fidel Castro. The United States imposed an embargo on Cuba in October 1960. This was the beginning of one of the longest sanctions against a county. Currently the U. S. has relaxed some of the restrictions for travel and in 2016 the government allowed two Americans to build a factory in Cuba.

Native plants are very important to the Hawaiian Islands and their ecosystems. Native plants are plants that formed naturally with the land. Sometimes native plants are only found in that area. When you completely remove a native plant from an area, it can cause a chain reaction due to it removing a food source from an insect. Then a bird can suffer from a lack of the insects they feed on. The benefits of native plants can be it introduces a new species of animals that can feed on it. Native plants don't need to be cared for that much because it is already adapted to growing in certain locations. The effects of native plants can be completely erased by invasive plants.

The climate is found between 30 and 45 degrees latitude. Also, found on the western sides of the continents like:

While on the Galápagos Islands, Darwin kept notebooks about all the species there, and he noticed the variety of tortoises on the island who were essential in explaining his theory of evolution. There are several species of tortoise present on the Galápagos Islands that are all very closely related, but slightly different. There are eleven presently surviving subspecies of Galápagos tortoises; furthermore, six of the eleven are found on different islands in the archipelago, and the other five are all found on a single island on five separate volcanoes with their own mini-ecosystems (PNAS). Although all of the species of Galápagos tortoise is different, they each have small differences that can include maximum adult size, shell shape, and the length of the neck and limbs. The tortoises of the islands are most closely related to the Chaco tortoises along the western coast of South America, and they most likely came to the Galápagos by “rafting” across the water (PNAS). Similar to the tortoises, Darwin observed that the Finches on the islands also had changed to match the environment. Spread among the islands were fourteen subspecies of finch whose
