The cannabis plant, most commonly known as marijuana does not have the sole purpose to only produce a drug. Hemp comes from the cannabis plant as well but is grown, not for the intoxicating element THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), yet for the hemp fiber it produces. Hemp has been cultivated not only here in the United States but all over the globe dating as far back as 12,000 years ago. In the past our first president George Washington required many colonists to grow and cultivate this plant in order to

it once used to be. Kentucky Bluegrass isn’t the best with drought tolerance. The wear resistance of Kentucky Bluegrass is medium. It tends to recover quickly from abuse and foot traffic usage during spring and fall seasons. It tends to recover fast because its rhizomes exchange quickly.

Mighty Old Trees Are Perishing Fast, Study Warns (Robbins, 2012) because all life depends on plants and the leaves that are on trees. Plants and trees grow everywhere on earth. And if trees are dying, than how will our ecosystem survive? The reasons the trees are dying are due to being infected with a fungal disease, fires, infestation of insects, and weather based on where the trees are located. A research team said that “big, old trees are dying at an alarming fast clip around the world at all

insolation, P>E rain washes nutrients out of the soil, so nutrients may limit plant growth * Structure: amazingly high levels of biodiversity: plants compete for light thus growing tall to absorb it, so there is a multi-storey profile to the forests called stratification. Many niches and habitat for animals and large mammals can get enough food * Net productivity: produce 40% of NPP of terrestrial ecosystems. Fast rates of decomposition, respiration and photosynthesis. Biomass gain very high

himself is deserving of this prestigious and honorable title. He realises to get to Othello, he must take his lieutenant out; Cassio.

Biomass is a term for all organic material that stems from plants (including algae, trees and crops). Biomass is produced by green plants converting carbon dioxide using light into plant material through photosynthesis and includes all land- and waterbased vegetation, as well as all organic wastes. The biomass resource can be considered as organic matter, in which the energy of sunlight is stored in chemical bonds. When the bonds between adjacent carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules are broken by
