Deciduous

biomes spread throughout the state. Some of the biomes I have found is deciduous forest, coniferous forest, grasslands, savanna, tundra, and alpine biomes. Each one has their own average temperatures, typical animals and plants. Towards the northern part of the state there are more harsh temperatures and weather compared to the lower part. The southern part though gets pretty harsh temperatures and weather itself. You may find deciduous forest around the southern part of West Virginia. This…

The Effects of Acid Rain in the Temperate Deciduous Forest The temperate deciduous forest has many environmental threats, such as deforestation, introduction of non-native species, overgrazing, and much more. One prominent issue, other than the cutting down of trees, is the constant occurrence of acid rain and pollutants in the air. Acid rain is essentially rainfall made acidic due to atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause of this…

Boreal, Coniferous, and Deciduous Forests Boreal, deciduous, and coniferous forests each possess distinctive traits and soil characteristics. Forests soils give important contributions in nitrogen and phosphorus transformations. These transformations are dependable on the weather conditions of the forest and the type of vegetation it contains. Soil mineralogy and organic matter also play an important role in the nitrogen and phosphorus transformations on the forest floor. Boreal forests are…

layer is typically 3 to 8 inches thick. Surface and subsurface textures range from clay to loam. The combination of slope and the interbedded soils and rock makes the establishment of deciduous trees and shrubs common. The vegetation in reference consists of a mix of cool- and warm-season grasses and deciduous trees and shrubs. The dominate grasses include big bluestem, marsh muhly Canada wildrye and prairie sandreed. Common trees…

Final Exam Writing Component There are many predator/prey relationships in the Temperate Deciduous Forest. A example of a predator/prey relationship in the Temperate Deciduous Forest is the Black Rat Snake, and the Eastern Cottontail Rabbit. For the Black Rat Snake the Eastern Cottontail Rabbit is one of its many food sources for it to get energy and survive. Two of the Eastern Cottontail Rabbit’s traits are the fact that their fur coat changes colors overtime, and the ability to hide and…

Tapirs are interesting creatures that are bizarre looking, while they play a major role within their habitats such as, seed dispersal and nutrient recycling. Although, Tapirs have also become endangered as well as in need of conservation. In spite of this, many don’t know what a Tapir is, what is threatening them, or their role within the habitats. Tapir has the build of a pig combined with the snout that is similar like an elephant, also has striped or spotted coats that camouflage them…

The “big four” elements that make up a biological profile are Age Geographic ancestry Sex Stature (height while alive) Dental Development Observation of stage of tooth formation Deciduous teeth=“baby teeth” Permanent teeth usually erupt around age six Use charts that list the timetables for formation of deciduous and permeant teeth Epiphyseal Fusion As an individual develops there is a fusion of the diaphysis (shaft) and…

Regenerative Capabilities of Dental Stem Cells Introduction – state hypothesis or problem and its scope (<1 page) Regenerative medicine aims to restore or establish normal function by replacing or regenerating human cells, tissue, or organs (Dunnill). Cell-based therapies are integral in regenerative medicine for the inherent ability of stem cells (SCs) to differentiate into specific cell types (Sedgley & Botero). SCs can be isolated during embryogenesis (embryonic SCs), or in postnatal…

Red Elderberry Sambucus racemosa Family Adoxaceae Species Description: Red elderberry is one of the deciduous plants that lives in NW of North America, which means they would lose their leaves and decrease photosynthesis during fall and winter. New leaves will start growing again during early spring, and produce flowers during summer, which flowers usually white, and pyramidal shape. [1] During the late summer, red elderberry will produce little red berry-like fruits and usually there will be…
