The document summarizes and provides pictures of various geological features observed by the author during a field assignment, including mudcracks, graded bedding, the growth rings of trees, and different types of land plants. Mudcracks form from the shrinkage of drying mud and provide habitat for small animals. Graded bedding occurs when water sorts particles by size and was seen in a canal. Pictures of tree stumps provided evidence of tree growth over time. Land plants photographed included those growing in barren areas and angiosperms that are important for pollination.

Root phenotyping
Root system architecture can be described through various phenes including geometry, morphology, topology, and dynamics. Geometrical phenes describe the system's depth, width, and length distribution. Morphological phenes describe individual root traits like diameter and orientation. Topological phenes describe relationships between roots like lateral root number and angle of insertion. Dynamic phenes describe growth and emergence over time. Together these phenes provide a multidimensional characterization of the root system that can link architecture to functions like water and nutrient acquisition.
Hydrosere (Hydrarch Succession)
A hydrosere is a plant succession which occurs in an area of fresh water such as in oxbow lakes and kettle lakes.

Soil Plant Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC)
The soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) is the pathway for water moving from soil through plants to the atmosphere.
Continuum in the description highlights the continuous nature of water connection through the pathway.
The low water potential of the atmosphere, and relatively higher (i.e. less negative) water potential inside leaves, leads to a diffusion gradient across the stomatal pores of leaves, drawing water out of the leaves as vapour.
Integrated Science M2 Osmoregulation in Plants
1. The document discusses osmoregulation in plants and their adaptations to regulate water balance. It defines osmoregulation and describes four types of plants based on their adaptations: halophytes, hydrophytes, xerophytes, and mesophytes.
2. Examples of adaptations discussed include mangroves secreting salt from leaves and roots, succulent leaves and stems in cacti, and floating leaves with many stomata in water lilies.
3. Osmoregulation is important for plants to survive because it regulates water uptake and loss to maintain homeostasis, especially in dry, salty, or aquatic conditions where water is limited.
Biology - Colonisation and Succession
The document discusses key concepts in ecosystems including colonization and succession. It defines colonization as a process where a species invades and occupies a newly formed uninhabited area. Succession is defined as the gradual process where one community changes the environment allowing itself to be replaced by another community through stages like pioneer species, successor species, and dominant species establishing a stable ecosystem.
Plant Physiology-Water relations
This document provides information about plant water relations and the absorption of water by plant roots. It discusses that water is essential for plant life and is absorbed by root hairs from the soil. Root hairs enter the spaces between soil particles and absorb water through a process of osmosis, facilitated by their selectively permeable cell membranes. Water then moves through the plant, powering processes like photosynthesis and supporting plant structure through turgor pressure in cells.
Boigeography
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of plant and animal species around the world. The continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, but plate tectonics have caused the continents to slowly drift apart over millions of years, impacting species distribution. Organisms can disperse through various means of transport, such as floating on water, being carried by other organisms like birds, or transported unintentionally by humans. When an organism is introduced to a new location, it faces barriers like physical geography, competition with other species, and differing climate that may limit its ability to spread.
Objectives of paleobotany
Paleobotany is the study of prehistoric plant life through fossil evidence. It aims to reconstruct ancient plants, trace the evolution of major plant groups, and understand relationships between plant form and function over geologic time. Paleobotanists also use plant fossils to date and correlate rock layers, study past plant communities and environments, and infer paleoclimate conditions by analyzing tree rings, comparing fossils to modern relatives, examining leaf features, and measuring stomatal indices in plant cells. The field provides insights into the origins and changes of plant life on Earth.

Anatomical adaptations of plants
Plants have adaptations to help them survive (live and grow) in different areas. Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place.
This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another. For example, you wouldn't see a cactus living in the Arctic. Nor would you see lots of really tall trees living in grasslands.
This presentation focuses on anatomical adaptations of three major types of plants: Hydrophytes, mesophytes and xerophytes.
ppt botany
This document summarizes key concepts in ecology. It discusses various ecological factors like climatic, edaphic, and topographic factors. It also describes different levels of ecological organization from individual to biosphere. Species interactions like competition, predation, and mutualism are explained. Succession processes including hydrosere and xersere are outlined. Different plant adaptations to habitats are defined, such as hydrophytes. Biomes and grassland types are briefly introduced.
TISSUE (UNIT-2)
The document discusses plant tissue. There are two types of plant tissue: meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Meristematic tissue is dividing tissue found at tips of roots and stems that helps in growth. It differentiates into permanent tissues like parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma. Xylem and phloem are complex permanent tissues that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.
Paliobotany and pictures
Paleobotany is the study of plant remains from geological contexts to reconstruct past environments, the evolutionary history of plants, and their bearing on the evolution of life. It includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils as well as prehistoric photosynthetic algae and seaweeds. Closely related is palynology, which studies fossilized and extant spores and pollen. Plant fossils can be preserved through impressions, petrifactions showing cellular detail, molds and casts showing three-dimensional form, authigenic mineralizations, and charcoalified fusain preserving fine morphology. Paleobotany is important for reconstructing ancient climate and ecology and the development and evolution of green plants.
ecology
The document summarizes key concepts in ecology. It discusses factors that influence organisms like climatic factors, edaphic factors, and topographic factors. It also covers different branches and levels of ecology like autoecology, synecology, ecosystems, and different ecological interactions between species like competition, predation, parasitism, and commensalism. Different types of grasslands and ecological successions are also summarized along with concepts like biome, niche, and mimicry.
Group 3 pr presentation
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. It occurs in the chloroplasts of green leaves and other green parts of plants. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll traps energy from sunlight which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich food molecules like glucose. The food is then transported throughout the plant via phloem vessels, while water and minerals are absorbed from the soil and transported via xylem vessels to the leaves. Oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Paleobotany
Palaeobotany is the study of ancient plant life through fossil records. It involves identifying and classifying plant remains from different geological eras to reconstruct ancient ecosystems and understand the evolution of plants. Some of the key developments in plant evolution identified through palaeobotanical studies include the earliest appearance of leaves, roots, woody stems, and seeds. Leaves are thought to have evolved from spiny outgrowths on stems for protection and better photosynthesis. Roots differentiated from stems and allowed plants to grow taller. The evolution of seeds increased reproductive success and biodiversity.
Succession ,its types ,causes and theories
This document discusses plant succession, including the causes, types, and theories of succession. It provides details on primary and secondary succession. There are two main types of succession: primary succession, which occurs in newly exposed bare areas, and secondary succession, which occurs in areas where vegetation has been disturbed but soil remains. Succession proceeds through a series of plant communities called seral stages and over time progresses toward a climax community. Major theories of succession include the monoclimax theory, polyclimax theory, and climax pattern theory. The document also outlines the main stages of hydrosere and xerosere, or aquatic and dry land succession.
Short and long term impacts of water deficits
1. Grasslands store a significant amount of global carbon and account for most agricultural land. They can help mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide if properly managed.
2. Grasslands are sensitive to land degradation from overgrazing and other processes affecting 70% of pastures. They also face pressure from growing meat and dairy demand.
3. Plants have various adaptive responses to water deficits over short and long terms, from adjusting leaf area and root depth, to changes in plant communities and speciation over thousands of years as populations evolve under drought conditions.
Plant water_relations
This document discusses plant water relations and various methods for measuring water potential and stress indicators in plants and soil. It describes how plants face a dilemma between their need for a hydrated environment and the dry atmospheric conditions. Water potential describes the availability of water, and it defines water flow through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Key indicators of plant water stress discussed are leaf water potential, stomatal conductance, and soil water potential. Methods for measuring these indicators like pressure chambers, porometers, and soil moisture sensors are also outlined.
Ch 7 8 ppt 2010 student notes
This document discusses several key concepts related to biological diversity and biogeography:
1. It defines biological evolution as changes in inherited traits over generations and outlines some processes that lead to evolution like mutations, natural selection, genetic drift, and geographic isolation of populations.
2. It discusses factors that influence biodiversity like habitat diversity, species diversity, and environmental conditions. Greater biodiversity is seen in areas with more physically diverse habitats, moderate disturbance, and small environmental variation.
3. It outlines biogeography patterns seen on different continents and islands, explaining how continental drift, isolation, and adaptation to new environments has led to divergent evolution and speciation over time.
Luis Flores project succession
This document discusses ecological succession. It defines primary succession as occurring on new surfaces without soil, like after a volcanic eruption, and secondary succession occurring after a disturbance that removes vegetation but leaves soil intact, like after a clear-cutting. Several abiotic and biotic factors that can influence succession patterns are described, including soil development, moisture retention, light availability, species interactions, temperature, and rainfall. Primary and secondary succession are illustrated through examples of a volcanic eruption and clear-cutting respectively.
Plant adaptations (bd mod)
This document discusses structural adaptations, tropisms, and hormonal control in plants. It covers how plants photosynthesize and use water and nutrients. It describes how plants adapt structurally to factors like light, temperature, water availability, and fire. It discusses tropisms like phototropism, geotropism, and thigmotropism which allow plants to grow toward beneficial stimuli. Finally, it outlines the roles of major plant hormones like auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene in controlling growth, development, and responses to environmental conditions.
Presentation
The document discusses various adaptations that plants have evolved to prevent excessive water loss in dry conditions. It provides examples of xerophytic plants and describes several key adaptations: thick waxy cuticles to reduce evaporation; sunken stomata surrounded by hairs to maintain high humidity near openings; fewer stomata and rolled or folded leaves to decrease surface area and retain moisture inside. One example analyzed in more detail is marram grass, which possesses rolled leaves, leaf hairs, and sunken stomata to tolerate dry sandy dune environments with poor water retention.
Ecology project
This document is a chapter-by-chapter summary of Johnny Bertoncello's ecology project. It covers topics like the carbon cycle, plant and animal adaptations, niches, biomes, and human impacts. Each chapter provides explanations and examples of key ecological concepts. For example, chapter 3 describes the steps of the carbon cycle, from photosynthesis to decomposition. It also gives examples of how plants and animals rely on resources like sunlight, water and each other in ecosystems.
2014 SCE Poster
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between soil compaction, infiltration, and water holding capacity. Six sites with different soil compactions were tested using infiltrometers to measure infiltration rates and sieves to determine soil textures. The results showed that infiltration increased and water holding capacity decreased as compaction decreased, supporting the hypothesis. However, some data was affected by errors like underground structures interfering with measurements. Despite errors, the data could still be useful in determining flood risk in arid regions and identifying areas for replanting or erosion control. Further research on how human activity impacts soil compaction and flooding was suggested.

Xerophytes and hydrophytes
Plants can adapt to survive in extreme environments like deserts or bodies of water through specialized structures and processes. Xerophytes, or desert plants, have adaptations like deep, widespread root systems to access water, short lifecycles, thick waxy cuticles to prevent water loss, and opening stomata at night to take in carbon dioxide without losing much water. Hydrophytes, or water plants, have adaptations like air spaces to allow floating, and breathing roots that grow above the water to access carbon dioxide.

This document contains summaries of different science topics written by Carl Corook (CJ). It includes summaries about the water cycle, parts of the sun such as the plasma and magnetic fields, parts of the human body like cells and organs, parts of plants including roots and leaves, parts of the Earth like its density and position in the solar system, and parts of the Moon including its size relative to Earth and its density. The document ends with the author hoping the reader likes the summaries.
Adaptations of plants- Xerophytes and hydrophytes
Xerophytes and hydrophytes have evolved different adaptations to survive in their environments. Xerophytes, like marram grass and cacti, have adaptations such as thick waxy cuticles, sunken stomata, reduced leaves, and the ability to store water to conserve water in dry conditions. Hydrophytes, like water lilies, have adaptations like thin cuticles, many open stomata, wide flat leaves, and air spaces to thrive in aquatic environments where water is abundant. Both plant types have specialized anatomical features to maximize resource uptake and minimize water loss depending on their habitat.
Performance narrative and conceptual
The document discusses three types of music videos: performance videos that feature the artist performing their song, often with dance elements; narrative videos that tell a story inspired by or suggested in the lyrics, like a mini-film with a beginning, middle, and end; and conceptual videos that use symbolism and imagery to represent themes in the song rather than directly illustrating the lyrics. Examples provided are Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for a performance video, Aerosmith's "Cryin'" for a narrative video telling the story of a breakup, and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" for a conceptual video using symbolic scenes to represent the emotional impact of a past relationship without a clear

This document discusses the experimental results and analysis of bifacial solar cells fabricated using an n+-p-p+ structure. It finds that the cells demonstrated high bulk diffusion lengths, low effective back surface recombination rates of 35-110 cm/s, and high back surface reflectance of 76±5%. This led to increased short circuit current of 0.4 mA/cm2 and efficiencies up to 0.5% absolute higher than comparable monofacial cells. Equivalent efficiencies of 22-23% were achieved for typical installation conditions. Further optimization of fabrication processes could increase cell efficiencies above 19%.
Vietnam – Bloomberg asking Lawyer in Vietnam Oliver Massmann on investment tr...
Foreign investment in Vietnam is growing due to the country's deeper economic integration through trade agreements like the TPP and FTAs, reforms that have opened the economy, and recovery from the global economic downturn. Major trends in 2016 include restructuring of banks and state-owned enterprises through mergers and acquisitions. To attract more foreign investment and ensure this trend continues, the Vietnamese government needs to demonstrate its commitment to trade agreements by reforming public investment procedures and improving dispute resolution. It should also address non-performing loans, support the private sector, improve education and job training, and streamline customs and tax procedures to create a more efficient business environment.

Dans son livre Creativity Inc., Ed Catmull, le co-fondateur de Pixar, nous démontre qu’il n’en est rien. Le succès de Pixar est dû à des processus bien identifiés, portés par un management et une culture d’entreprise favorables à la créativité. Encensé par la presse business à sa sortie en 2014, cet ouvrage co-écrit avec Amy Wallace représente une exceptionnelle leçon de leadership et de management de l’innovation.
Nous vous proposons ici un recueil de trois articles publiés dans notre blog 15marches.fr/blog :
Partie 1. « L’innovation a besoin d’amis» présente les grands principes de la culture d’entreprise
Partie 2. « Manager l’innovation au quotidien» présente les principaux processus mis en place dans l’entreprise
Partie 3. « Comment manager un culture créative dans votre entreprise » détaille les principes à mettre en œuvre dans votre entreprise.

The Art of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
Over the past several years, the lean startup movement has made the Minimal Viable Product (MVP) a key approach to incrementally discovering effective products and services. In this talk, Levent Gurses will discuss a 5 step MVP process for building great minimum viable products that's been used in real client engagements. His process has been developed working with more than 20 enterprise full-stack and mobile clients over the course of several years. Topics will include the challenges of creating the MVP vision, scoping the activity, what should an MVP cost in time and money, and what should you have when you are “done”. Not only sharing his tales of MVP development, he will provide insights in how he's developed methods to effectively drive vision and development execution.
What is an MVP?
A product that has the absolute minimal set of core features necessary to prove a hypothesis, generally linked to commercial success or market validation. The MVP seeks the highest return on investment versus risk.
The Rise of the Lean Startup Movement
The lean startup movement came about as a result of analysis of many startup successes and failures. Development timeframes have become shorter and customer engagement has increased, which is helping companies better product-market fit and a path to success.

SKYLIGHT BOTANY 1O3 ,PLANT EVOLUTION
The origin and early evolution of land plants involved the development of specialized structures like stems, tissues, stomata, leaves, and roots. Evidence comes from dispersed spore and megafossil records across different periods from the Ordovician to the Permian. Early land plants like liverworts and mosses diversified, followed by the evolution of vascular plants like ferns, seedless plants, and eventually seed plants. Over time, plants became more complex with tissues, alternation of generations, and ability to adapt to various environments and ecosystems.
Bot 1
The document discusses the evolution of early land plants from their origins in charophycean green algae through the Paleozoic era. Key events included the development of specialized organs like stems, leaves, and roots in the Ordovician and Silurian periods. During the Devonian, vascular plants diversified and included the first trees. Gymnosperms like conifers became dominant in the Carboniferous and Permian. Angiosperms evolved in the Cretaceous and now dominate terrestrial ecosystems. Evidence for plant evolution comes from dispersed spore and megafossil records.
Evidence-of-Evolution.pptx Evolution is a key unifying principle in biology. ...
The document provides five lines of evidence that support biological evolution:
1. Fossil evidence shows that species in older rock layers are more primitive, and extinct species resemble modern animals, indicating common ancestry.
2. The geographical distribution of living organisms, such as unique island species resembling nearby mainland species, provides evidence of evolution.
3. Similarities in embryonic development across species, like vertebrates sharing gill slits and tails early in development, indicate shared ancestry.
4. Comparative anatomy finds homologous structures with the same anatomy but different functions in different species as evidence of common descent, while analogous structures with similar functions but different structures do not.
5. Molecular and genetic evidence finds
4. darwin and the eye, part 1
The fossil record poses problems for the theory of evolution because it shows gaps between major groups of organisms rather than a gradual progression of intermediate forms. While some intermediate fossils have been proposed, they are few and their evolutionary significance is often marginal. Many scientists acknowledge that the fossil record does not provide evidence of gradual evolution as the theory predicts it should. Examples like flowering plants, bats, and turtles appear abruptly in the fossil record in fully formed states without apparent intermediate ancestors. The evolution of turtles in particular poses difficulties because of the unusual placement of the pectoral girdle inside the ribcage shell.
The origin and early evolution of plants on land in the mid
The early evolution of plants on land occurred in three epochs from the mid-Paleozoic era:
1) The Eoembryophytic epoch saw the first appearance of spore tetrads and liverwort-like plants.
2) The Eotracheophytic epoch witnessed increasing plant diversity and the rise of simple vascular plants.
3) The Eutracheophytic epoch featured the diversification of complex plants with true vascular tissues like ferns, conifers, and seed plants that could better adapt to life on land.
Dating Geologic Time Scale-Geomorphology chapter
The document discusses the development and history of the geologic time scale. It describes how Scottish geologist James Hutton advanced the theory of uniformitarianism in the late 18th century. Subsequently, British geologist William Smith discovered that fossils are found in a definite order within sedimentary rock layers. This led to the development of the geologic time scale, which assigns relative ages to rocks and fossils. The time scale is based on circular reasoning, as rock layers are dated using the assumed ages of index fossils within them.
Formation Of Soil And Soil Types
Soil is a mixture of weathered rock and decayed organic matter that forms over long periods of time. Soil formation involves the weathering of bedrock, growth of mosses and vegetation, and decay of organisms which adds humus and nutrients to the soil layers. Soil is made up of distinct layers called horizons, with the topsoil near the surface containing the most plant roots and organic material. The type of soil that forms depends on various environmental factors like climate, vegetation, parent material, topography, and time.
Soil, how formed (teach)
Soil is formed by the weathering of rock and the decomposition of organic material by soil organisms. It is composed of minerals from broken down rock, organic matter from dead plants and animals, air, and water. The solid components are classified by particle size as sand, silt, or clay. Humus, or organic matter, is formed through the decay of dead plant and animal matter by decomposers like bacteria, fungi, earthworms, and other invertebrates. Together, these components support plant growth and life in the soil.
Unit 5, Lesson 5.7- Ecological Succession
Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. There are two types: primary succession, which occurs on new habitats that have never been colonized, and secondary succession, which occurs on previously colonized habitats that have been disturbed. Primary succession from bare rock follows steps from pioneer lichens and mosses breaking down rock to develop soil, to larger plants like ferns and shrubs, and eventually forests over hundreds of years. Secondary succession is faster as soil and seeds are already present, such as after a forest fire or deforestation.
12. problems the fossils pose, part 1
This document discusses problems that fossils pose for the theory of evolution. It begins by introducing fossils as the "final court of appeal" for evolution but notes they show serious problems. Several scientists are quoted saying fossils do not show the gradual transitions expected by evolution between major groups. Examples of gaps are given, such as the sudden appearance of flowering plants, bats with wings, and turtles with their complex shell structure. The evolution of turtles is discussed in more detail as an example that poses significant challenges due to the lack of evidence for how their anatomy could have gradually transformed. Overall, the document argues the fossil record does not support the gradual evolution predicted by Darwin's theory of natural selection.
577
- Evolution is defined as the gradual development of simple matters into more complex forms over time. Darwin was the first to put together evidence to explain evolution through his theory of natural selection.
- Primary claims of evolution include that the Earth is over 4 billion years old, life emerged around 3.8 billion years ago, extinction is a major feature of biological evolution, and humans evolved from pre-existing species.
- Major claims of evolutionary theory include that natural selection is the main mechanism of evolution, whereby individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits; all living organisms share a common ancestry; and DNA evidence provides powerful support for the interrelatedness of all life.
Electrical Functions Of Plant And Animal Cells
The document discusses the role of anion channels in plant and animal cells. Anion channels play a key role in various physiological functions like cell osmoregulation, cell signaling, plant nutrition, and compartmentalization of metabolites and metal tolerance. In plants, anion channels are found in the plasma membrane, tonoplast, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. The plasma membrane channels have been the best characterized. Ion channels work like a switch, opening and closing according to controlling factors, allowing massive ion fluxes when open based on electrochemical gradients. Understanding of ion channels improved with the patch clamp technique and first anion channel structure determination in bacteria in 2002.
11 Chapter
This document provides an overview of plants, including their characteristics, structures, and classification. It discusses seedless plants like mosses and ferns, as well as seed plants. Seed plants are divided into gymnosperms, which produce unprotected seeds without flowers, and angiosperms, which produce seeds within fruits. Key structures of seed plants mentioned include leaves, stems, roots, and vascular tissue that transports water and nutrients.
The Earth SystemEarth is the third planet from the sun in our so.docx
The Earth System
Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. Earth orbits the sun in an elliptical (oval) path. Earth’s orbit is sometimes called the “Goldilocks zone.” Mercury and Venus travel too close to the sun to sustain life—they’re “too hot.” Planets beyond Earth travel too far from the sun—they’re “too cold.” But Earth is “just right.” (Note that there’s evidence that Mars—the Red Planet—once may have sustained microscopic life on its surface. However, conditions on the Red Planet no longer seem favorable.)
The term “Earth system” refers to the different processes and cycles that exist on the planet. All of these work together to sustain life. The four domains of the Earth system include the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. Let’s quickly review each of these.
Layers of Earth
(NASA public domain image)
The geosphere refers to the solid portion of the planet. It includes the rocks and minerals that make up the continents as well as the ocean floor. It also includes structures within Earth, including the liquid mantle and the dense, solid, metallic core. Nonliving surface ground layers, such as desert sands and volcanic rock, are part of the geosphere.
The hydrosphere includes all the water on or near Earth’s surface. The oceans are the major component of the hydrosphere. They make up 97 percent of the Earth’s water. Glaciers and polar ice caps make up about 2 percent of the hydrosphere. Only about 1 percent of the hydrosphere is made up of the liquid freshwater found in ponds, streams, rivers, lakes, and underground water reservoirs (aquifers).
Aquifers are the main freshwater source in America’s “breadbasket” states of the Midwest and Great Plains. (“Breadbasket” states get their name from the volume of wheat, a primary ingredient in bread, grown there.) The hydrosphere extends several miles above the surface of the planet into the atmosphere, mainly in the form of water vapor.
Water vapor is water in its gaseous state. Precipitation is water released from the clouds. It may take the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It’s part of the water cycle.
For more information on the hydrosphere, follow this link: What is the HYDROSPHERE?
The atmosphere is the planet’s blanket. It allows living beings on the planet to breathe. It also protects us from the unfriendly features of the universe, such as meteors, cosmic radiation, and the effects of solar flares.
The atmosphere is made up of a variety of layers, as follows:
Earth’s Atmosphere
(NASA public domain image)
· The troposphere is the densest part of the atmosphere. It starts at Earth’s surface and extends upward from about 5 miles (in the higher or lower latitudes) to 9 miles (over the equatorial regions). Most of our weather takes place here.
· The stratosphere extends from the troposphere upward about 31 miles. The ozone layer, which protects the planet from solar ultraviolet radiation, is located in this region.
· The mesosph.
Paleontological evidence of evolution
1. Paleontology provides key evidence for evolution through the fossil record by showing forms of ancient life that are no longer present today. The fossil record spans over 4 billion years and shows how life has changed over time.
2. Early fossil discoveries in the 17th and 19th centuries, such as shark teeth and Iguanodon teeth, provided evidence that fossils represented ancient life forms.
3. Fossils form through various processes like rapid sedimentation, mineral replacement, or freezing. They can be preserved as molds, casts, or even intact remains, providing a record of prehistoric life.
Essay On Ap Bio Plants
The document discusses plant roots, stems, leaves, and reproduction. Roots absorb minerals and water, and store nutrients, anchoring the plant. The stem transports fluids between roots and leaves via xylem and phloem. Leaves are the main site of photosynthesis. Plants can reproduce without water through structures like bulbs and tubers that store nutrients.
What is ecology
1) An ecosystem consists of all the living organisms (biotic factors) in a particular area, along with the nonliving (abiotic) parts like air, water, and mineral resources.
2) Primary succession occurs in new areas like land exposed by retreating glaciers, where pioneer species arrive first and help create conditions for later species.
3) Secondary succession follows disruptions to existing ecosystems, as earlier species are replaced over time, progressing towards a stable climactic community composition.
Field assignment
This field assignment document summarizes Jason Caceda's observations from an outing where he saw signs of environmental transformation and erosion. He notes how the air station has transformed barren land into a habitat for animals like rabbits and owls. During his outing, he also encountered sheep and observed examples of mud cracks from drying ground, layered sediment deposits from past water erosion, and a bank eroded by various environmental factors like rain and plants. The document works cited a textbook on geology as its source.
1Aquatic versus Terrestrial EcosystemsStudent’
This document compares and contrasts aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It discusses how terrestrial ecosystems like forests are made up of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers. It also describes the components of aquatic ecosystems like freshwater and marine ecosystems. The document notes that both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems have intrinsic and instrumental value, though some species in these ecosystems are endangered due to human activity. It concludes that species diversity and ecosystem diversity are interrelated.
Succession 2009
The document discusses ecosystem succession, which is the orderly process over time of an ecosystem changing from simple to more complex. There are two types of succession - primary on new areas lacking organisms, and secondary on previously occupied areas. Succession begins with pioneer organisms that can survive the initial conditions, and progresses through various seral stages as the ecosystem develops, eventually reaching a climax community. The document provides examples of succession from sand dunes and describes a field trip to collect data on plant species at Illinois Beach State Park to study primary succession over 12,000 years since the last glacial retreat.

- 2. Mudcracks Mudcracks are a sedimentary structure that form around the time of deposition, but before lithification. They are useful in reconstructing ancient environments (Levin, 2010). This picture of mudcracks was taken in a dried out area of a canal. They likely developed from the shrinkage of the mud after drying out once the water evaporated. This has created a breeding ground for plant life and new dwellings for insects and other life forms such as snakes, mice, squirrels, and several others.
- 3. Graded Bedding Graded bedding is another sedimentary structure and it occurs when flowing water sorts particles by size. This creates beds where the coarsest grains are at the base while gradually getting finer towards the top (Levin, 2010). This graded bedding occurred in a canal likely from a rapid settlement of coarser and heavier grains in a sedimentary mix. In the picture to the right, you can also see a white line that is likely a water mark showing how the levels of water have changed over time.
- 4. Evolution of Trees These are two separate trees that show how, over time, trees grow and how you can tell their age. The tree on the left has grown rather large over what is likely a great period of time. The tree on the right, however, is a stump that was next to another large tree. This tree appears to have been chopped or broken down. Due to this, we are able to see the rings within the stump that clue us in to how old it is. To my untrained eye, this tree looks to be about four years old. Unfortunately, this is not the most reliable way of determining a tree’s age because trees often go a year without producing a ring or they produce more than one ring in a year’s time (Earle, 2011).
- 5. Land Plants These are pictures of land plants taken in the same canal as most of the other pictures, but also from right outside my front door in my flower bed. The plants to the left have grown in parts of the canal that have become barren. The plants to the right, however, are an example of angiosperms. Angiosperms are flowering plants that evolved from pollen grains (Levin, 2010). Both types of land plants are a breeding ground for insects, birds, and some mammals. The flowers are most important to insects such as bees for pollinating purposes.
