This trial had higher increments of leaf disks floating sooner than trial 2 did as shown in table 1 with the raw data. Though trial 3 seemed to have the fasted rate of photosynthesis reaching 9 disks floating before any other trial and having more disks float sooner than any other

There are several mechanical treatment control options available for invasive plants. Large machinery may be the most cost effective way to control some dense infestations of invasive trees and shrubs. Bush hogging, mulching, and mowing can remove large plants, preparing stumps and later new growth for herbicide. Great care should be exercised however, to minimize soil ruts, soild disturbance, and compation. All of these can not only hinder restoration, but also give additional opportunity for futher

Virtually all other living creatures depend on plants to survive. Through photosynthesis, plants convert energy from sunlight into food stored as carbohydrates. Because animals cannot get energy directly from the sun, they must eat plants (or other animals that have had a vegetarian meal) to survive. Plants also provide the oxygen humans and animals breathe, because plants use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Plants are found on land, in oceans, and in fresh

Each new wind can make the dune larger and each new pile of sand can grow into a huge dune. Sand dunes form around stuff on the beach like rocks, drift wood and stuff that washes up on the beach during high tide. Inside sand dunes there are plant roots, which hold the sand together. This helps protect the sand dune from being destroyed. A dune holds the sand on the beach to help cut down erosion. Dunes are very important, without them the beaches would disappear. Coastal sand dunes can
