organisms include fungi, actinomycetes , beneficial bacteria, pseudomonads , plant growth regulators, yeasts, molds, trace elements and the famous N-P-K ratings used by fertilizers, to reference the Nitrogen, Phosphorus and K (which is the chemical symbol for Potassium) quantities promoted by the fertilizer industry (more on this below). Worm Castings are harmless to plants (in any dosage), pets or children. You cannot ‘burn’ a plant by over use of casting, even if not watered properly. Pets and children

------------------------------------------------- Freshwater ecosystem From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Freshwater angelfish Freshwater ecosystems are a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. They include lakes and ponds, rivers, streams, springs, and wetlands. They can be contrasted with marine ecosystems, which have a larger salt content. Freshwater habitats can be classified by different factors, including temperature, light penetration, and vegetation. Freshwater ecosystems can be

Temperate Deciduous Woodland Biome Deciduous tree: a tree that sheds its leaves in the autumn months, when water supply is limited. By losing its leaves, trees will prevent water loss through transpiration. Also they will have more energy to grow upwards, to reach the limited amounts of sunlight in the winter, instead of through photosynthesis. The leaves of deciduous trees are broad and thin so that there is a larger surface area for maximum photosynthesis in the summer when there are long days

Auxin on Plant Growth Sahil Modi TA: Eric Robert Schuppe 3/12/14 Biology Lab Report 2108K Abstract: There are several ways to help plant growth through artificial hormone insertion. This experiment mainly was set up to see if the hormone Auxin would promote growth to these plants in different soil types like sandy, acidic, and regular with the uses of the radish seeds put in each one. . The plant with the insertion of auxins created a decent

benefit to animals as well. They serve as the habitats for countless species. Just like humans, animals depend on forests for their survival. They depend on forests for their water. They get food from forests. Forest is also the home to many types of plants, which are the food source for many animals. These benefits that I have mentioned are what I have seen and realized on the film showing. It really proves that forests are the source of life. Forests are not only important to us humans, but to

organisms are subdivided into 5 major kingdoms, including the Monera, the Protista, the Fungi, the Plantae, and the Animalia. Each kingdom is further subdivided into separate phyla or divisions. Generally "animals" are subdivided into phyla, while "plants" are subdivided into divisions. Organisms in any given Kingdom maybe separated from organisms in any other Kingdom by many hundreds of millions, if not billions, of years of evolution. This book provides information about the five kingdoms of

the “O Horizon”, is also home to many plant species, which emerge from its leafy soil, such as the bluebell. Abiotic changes are those that arise among non-living environmental components. If the forest’s leaf litter was totally consumed by the Asian worms, the gasses given off by the duff would lessen dramatically. Another abiotic change is that the soil would become more moist, or even muddy, and there would be a lack of nutrients on the forest floor. A plant which thrives in muddier, barer soil

Chlorophyll Chlorophyll is a substance found in chloroplasts, found in the cells of leaves. They are used to produce glucose which is used as plant food and growing materials (e.g. cellulose).A leaf which is exposed to plenty of light will have sufficient amounts of food and will not need an excessive amount of chlorophyll. This enables the leaf to have a small surface area. It is also necessary for leaves in areas of high light intensity, and thus high temperature, to have small
