Distinguishing Two Forest Communities in North Jersey by Tree Density, Species, Dominance, Importance, Diversity and Richness

Abstract
This is a study undertaken to compare and contrast richness, dominance and importance of sixteen tree species between two tree communities. The sixteen tree species have been listed in the appendix at the end of this paper. This study is a continuation of what was done earlier by ecology students in their previous year of study. The methods applied are absolutely the same, in order to make collected data comparable with each other. The three specific factors studies are relative dominance, relative density, and relative importance of the species occurring in these two forest areas.

In all three versions of the hominid family tree, there are a number of similarities. Each tree must have an evolutionary origin and purpose and whilst the origin does seem to differ from tree to tree, the purpose seems to maintain a constant: Homo Sapiens are always the end point on each tree. Presumably, this is because our species has evolved this far to date and appears to have stayed still for about 200,000 years (Human Origins) whereas another site states 175,000 years (Becoming Human), and another states 100,000 years (PBS). This dispute is commonplace as we are ...

Abstract

Ecology, a scientific discipline based on ecosystem, interrelates organisms, vegetation, process and condition in nature. For ecological study of any landscape knowledge about structure of plant communities and role of soil is required. Knowledge of plant community is based on understanding of spatial relationships, abundance and diversity of plants or vegetation in that area. From the study of plant community and their associated edaphic or soil factors knowledge of vegetation patterns and species assemblage is developed. In a plant community it is very difficult to quantify number and distribution of all species and individuals, so techniques for obtaining representative sample have ...

REPORT: Landscape Planning and Ecological Management: Plantation of bare root common trees.

Introduction
We often take trees and other flora, all around us, for granted maybe because almost all of us have seen trees and captured the word and their image deep inside our sub-consciousness. As we grow up, we learn about the benefits and advantages of trees parrot-fashion. No person or entity teaches us anything about the aesthetics so when we see captivating landscape photographs and images, we take in the beauty without taking in the trees. It is beyond this point that most of us change directions and go off towards modern, fast-process systems, which we then proceed ...

Aim: The aim of this project is to determine the influence of sunlight and shade on the characteristic of leaf morphology.
Background: The gradient in light received by the leaves, compel them to adapt for optimum growth in a particular environment. This adaptation takes place gradually, with changes in certain morphological features. These morphological changes that take place with time and space in which the plant grows is defined as succession and has a role to play in evolution. Certain environmental factors like shade and sunlight can present as a slightly adverse condition that affect plant growth. In order ...

Phylogenetic family tree is characterized by the lineage through which the present man originated from. The origin of the humans emanated from a single common ancestor through a transition process that culminated into the present man. The tree starts with a common ancestor then branches of to different species as time passed by. The phylogenetic family tree takes the form of evolution where there is a common shared ancestor. The report explores the sequence of events that led to the existence of the modern man (Futuyma 84).
The human evolution forms the basis of origination of all human beings on earth. The ...

Average (mean) trees diameter

The difference between the diameter of Doghair Thicket and semi-restored is as a result of difference in the elasticity of the stem tissues. It means that on the experiment the tissues of Doghair thicket were more as compared to semi restore. It therefore recorded a high average. On other experiment, the data collected indicates that the semi- restored has high average. This implies that semi-restored has more stem tissues which facilitate or rather enhances its variation in diameter. Another major factor that determine the stem-diameter of the stems of the Doghair thicket and the semi-restored includes the contented of water present ...

Introduction
Lichens are epiphytes occurring in most environments of the world. They are commonly found on soil, trees, leaves, and even bare rock. They are found in mesic environments, potentially long lived and are poikilohydric. They are a product of the symbiotic relationship of photosynthetic acyanobacteria and a fungus (most commonly an ascomycete). The symbiotic relationship may be of various types such as mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism. The outer layer is known as the cortex and is composed of photobiont cells. The inner layer, known as the medulla, is composed of loosely arranged hyphae. Below the medulla is a lower cortex ...

Role of community citizen in palm oil producing nation

The role of a community citizen in a palm oil producing country is very important. A community citizen will have two main roles. The first is to ensure that the people benefit from the output of palm oil and the second is to ensure that there are no adverse effects on the environment during palm oil production. This role requires the citizen to work together with palm oil producers to ensure that the population is educated about the best ways to protect the environment while producing palm. The community citizen is also tasked with working with government to ensure ...

Reducing the population growth rate is possible. The World Watch Institute highlighted that with universal access to safe and effective contraceptives for both sexes, the pregnancies would reduce significantly, and consequently the population. Besides, expansion access of secondary education would also lead to population decrease because of delayed marriage and increased knowledge on the use of contraceptives. Moreover, offering age-appropriate sex education could help reduce the rate of population growth because the children would adopt birth controls at early stages or make informed choices. It follows that adopting methods of reducing the population would lead to a decrease in ...

History of Christmas

Christmas is a religious holiday that honors the birth of Jesus Christ and is celebrated each year on the 25th of December. The history of Christmas remounts to over 2000 years ago, and the veracity of its details is yet to be completely recognized.
It was not until the fourth century that the Church decided to declare the birth of Jesus as a holiday and the Vatican selected the 25th of December as the date for its celebration, but given that the Bible does not mention the date of this event, it became a polemic subject.
However, Simmons (2015), ...

1 Introduction
As noted by Davies and Crawford (2011), firms with good financial records are attractive to both current and potential investors. However, one critical factor considered by the potential investors before investing in a company is its creditworthiness. A company may record high revenues, but its creditworthiness can be doubt. For the company to be creditworthy, it must significantly reduce its debt funding through the maximization of the internal sources of finance and equity (Delen, Kuzey and Uyar 2013). Additionally, the company’s management must ensure that the capital structure of the company maximizes the shareholder wealth. This ...

Report

The business projects are always associated with risks, and the owner has to make the decision. Typically, decisions that are more profitable are associated with higher risks. Therefore, the owner has to choose if he wishes to bear a risk and earn a lot, or he takes more secure, yet less profitable option (Koller).
The High Right case has a significant advantage since the owner knows the risk probabilities associated with the decisions. The decision tree illustrates the outcomes of all the possible decisions (Fig. 1).Table 1 presents the payoff table, which illustrates the losses and profits.

Theories have been developed and assumptions made all in the name of explaining what really caused one of the most deadly fires in the history of America. Cocoanut Grove was a restaurant/supper club in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. No night clubs ever existed at that point in time. It was located at 17 Piedmont Street, near Park Square, in down town Boston. As the records have it, it was a popular place in late 1920’s, but its popularity dwindled in the 1930’s. Later in the 1940’s it popularity rose once again and made it a force to reckon ...

Cooking in Mayukkwayukwa has predominantly been done using stoves that are not energy efficient; therefore, the residents end up consuming a lot of firewood and charcoal in the cooking process. As a result of the collection of large volumes of firewood around the settlement area, the region is becoming deforested as more trees are cut for firewood and charcoal production. This has led to a shortage of fuel for cooking. Gathering firewood is generally women’s work, and they have to gamble with life-threatening risks such as forest and rape attacks during the firewood search process. At times, these ...

Packet switching refers to a digital networking communications method in which all the data transmitted is grouped into blocks called packets before it is sent. Packet switching applies to all transmitted regardless of its type, content or structure. The data is transmitted over a shared network and transverses through a network of switches, adapters, routers and other network nodes (OPTNET Technologies, 2010). Packets of data are transmitted individually to their destination using different routes. Once all the packets forming a message get to the destination they re-compile into the original message. Common protocols using the packet switching technologies include Wide Area Network (WAN) ...
