We found that water’s edge contained a much higher species richness and Shannon diversity index than the other two, but the evenness is lower than the other two. The higher species richness and Shannon diversity index could be due to the diverse vegetation growing around the pond. The lower evenness tells us that this site is less diverse than the other two sites. Secondly, the wooded area contained slightly lower species richness and Shannon diversity index than the water’s edge; however, the

I’m from Missouri, but my mom says that I need to go to this camp. Why? What is this place? I show up at the camp, when I walked up I see a sign. It says Camp Half-Blood. I was told that Camp Half-Blood if for Demi-gods, (which means it for kids who has a mom or dad that is a god or goddess) . I’m the daughter of Artemis because I have physical strength, confidence, and independence. In the beginning I found out that Artemis is confident, and I discovered that in confident to

Groundwater is used primarily for irrigating farmland; and secondarily, for consumption and industrial use. Aquifers, unconsolidated subterranean layers which hold water, are rapidly dwindling, and groundwater depletion is quickly growing to become a major problem for farmers and the public at large. Reserves close to ground level are rapidly drying up and due to technological roadblocks, extracting water from deeper reserves is not yet financially feasible. The problem is especially severe in California

Robert Frost was one of America's greatest poets. From 1874 - 1963 he has written many famous poems including "Nothing Gold can stay" and "The Road not taken" which I will be writing about. He lived in San Francisco and sadly died in Boston in 1963. He moved to Massachusetts when he was eleven and went to the local high school. He then continues to go to Dartmouth College. The Road Not Taken is a poem about decisions in life and how each one leads onto another road, spreading into a vast

seasons of the year! Love every season. Each season has its own unique feel to the year. For winter there is cold weather, which means bringing and starting the New Year. Summer, who doesn’t love them hot summer days, eating anything that is cold. Spring, for them raining days, where the smell of fresh flowers begin to blossom, and grow. Lastly, fall.

Smog is suffocating the clouds, and leaving it grey. The surrounding sounds of screeching and machines sputtering to the command of their owners interferes with the soft whispering of the creek itself. Everyday, every hour, the creek is poisoned. The monsters release their poison from their chambers and dispose of it into life. Past a certain point, the creek is unable to breathe, and instead of whispers, you hear gasps. It’s dead. Over the generations, especially in this day and age, ecological

Canyon Lake has always been a popular place of recreation for the citizens of Rapid City. Former Pennington county official C. E. completely encapsulated the pleasure that Canyon Lake brings to the citizens of Rapid City in one simple statement, "I know of nothing which adds to the real pleasure of living in a community so much as does a body of water" (C.E. Smith). But this picturesque local park is not as pure as it seems, the small local reservoir has many unhealthy ecological problems hidden

Neighbors tend to repair the wall every spring just to find it destroyed next year. Despite of the fact that narrator is one of those neighbor who likes the wall, it is narrator who first reminds his neighbor to repair the wall.
