Algodones Dunes

When going to the sand dunes of the Illinois Beach State Park, we wanted to test the effects of different environment on succession, ecosystem development. The problem was to find out if there is a succession (ecosystem development) of plant communities taking place. If the sand dune’s closer to the lake are newer than those further inland, then, I believe succession will take place because the newest dunes do not have rich enough soil to support more complex plants like trees and shrubs growing

Who is she? That girl with the long carrot orange hair standing by the brilliant ocean. She seems loud and confident like the leader of a lion's pack, yet gentle in her words like the angel who visits you when you need her. She made everyone surrounding me, lying on this rich sand, seem like they did not exist anymore. She is tall like a king who sits on his golden throne that sparkles like a small meaningful sun no matter if it is day or night. Like most people, she had two feet, but one was somehow

evolutions in both ecological and biological lives. The unique biological features represented in the rainforest that grew on a sand dune system. The outstanding connection between these dunes system and the fresh water and the soil creation is exceptional and very impressive due to its complexity. In fact, such rainforest that has trees up to 50 meter tall on costal sand dune never happened any where else in the world. The greenery lands represents a high degree of complications, with very different

Chapter 1. Introduction, project aim and main objectives. 1.1 Introduction Coastal dune systems serve as a natural alternative to hard engineering defence methods. They act as a barrier which contribute to the stabilization of the coastal landscape and protects it when coastal disasters occur. During storms, waves flatten the beach and collapse the dune facing the beach, realising sand offshore and creating large bars in the surf zone. These sandbars cause waves to break further offshore, and following

Dune      This book all started with the family Atreides landing on plant Arrakis, commonly known as Dune. The planet Dune was the centre of the universe due to its immense amounts of spice. This spice is greatly needed for all planets as fuel and for raw materials. The family Atreides were asked by Emperor himself to go and mine the spice on the planet. Their greatest enemy the Harkonnen's, were also on Dune. These two families mining the precious spice on the same plant

The Sons Of Guadalupe Don’t Eat the Bear: A Spanish adventurer named Gaspar De Portola in 1769 passed through a region what is now Santa Barbara. In the near by sand dunes he found a lake where he crossed passed with an “oso flaco”, a skinny bear. They were dying of hunger and ate the skinny bear not knowing it was poisoned. El Rincon Del Mundo: The Spanish believed that California was the place of great mystery and perhaps even paradise. Before the eighteenth century it was too far north from

Wall,” was a poet fascinated by the mind and by very earthly objects; dealing with how people felt about life in conjunction with the environment. For example, in the poem “Sand Dunes,” Frost describes the sea and a woman, who in actuality is the sand dune. He transforms the sand dune into a person by referring to the dune as a she (Wagner 72). Some of Frost’s works share this theme of making nature into a person, which

foldable beach chairs, after grabbing all of our gear, we headed back up the weather stairs and towards sand dunes. As we approached the entrance of the sand dunes, the satisfying sounds of the ocean’s waves started to become closer and closer. As we traveled closer the vivid orange sun began to ascend from the deep sea. At this early point in the morning, the sand walkway surrounded by dunes hadn’t heated up from the sun, so it had a nice cold feeling of the sand between each toe. Upon reaching the

having few predators in the new environment. In Collaroy Beach, the increase in human development has resulted in various consequences, the most prominent being the reduction in the size of the sand dune system, which has occurred to a large extent in the beach, evident by the clear lack of a hind dune. The same has occurred in Lauderdale beach, and to a similar extent as Collaroy. However, as Lauderdale receives far more storms than Collaroy, and thus is more likely to need the “sand bank” stored
