For efficiency purposes, including the availability of information, the Late Prehistoric Period [AD 1000-1600] will be the focus of this paper. With a particular interest in the Fort Ancient culture, the technological and socio-economic norms that the people observed will come into play in determining the typical winter survival tactics. From possible storage of food crops to the disbandment of villages into “winter camps,” the cold season called for the Fort Ancient peoples’ innovativeness if they were to survive (Late Prehistoric Period, 2013). Case in point the archaeological discoveries that found evidence that suggests hunting, gathering, and farming as ...

In chapter 2, McRaney states that, “dealing with lost people will cause us to get our hands dirty and sweaty just like tending to yard work. Part of evangelism is to clear up misconceptions and misperceptions people have about the gospel. Dealing with people and evangelism is often messy.” Reflecting on my conversion story, I agree that one can get their hands dirty by dealing with lost people. At the age of 19, I was a drug addict and never believed in God, and anytime my neighborhood clergyman told me about salvation, I turned him down, not once and ...

Introduction

With the escalation in cost production and environmental concerns, researchers have in the recent past focused in investigating resourceful means of increasing yields while reducing fertilizer use. Arnall & Godsey assert that the seeding rate and hybrids that promise the highest crop populations is continuously sort by corn cost cultivators worldwide (2013).

REDD+ in Kenya

Introduction

The prevalence of deforestation and massive degradation of forests from around the world are considered as one among the primary root of global warming. According to reports, the destruction of forests accounts for about 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions that occur globally (Forest, 2015), and it was found that deforestation are generally caused by factors that motivate people to clear the forests (Chakravarty, 2012).

The crop has a cycle of between 10-24 months modern agricultural practices have made it possible to reduce the growing period of the plant crop as well as for the ratoon crops. The current sugarcane crop is an inter-hybrid cane breed to provide high sugar content (Moore et al. 10). Originally, the plant was used for chewing, but currently, it ...

Executive Summary With growing concerns related to climate change, the farming profession is exposing the farmers to significant risk of low yields or other crop related failure. Moreover, with weather trend highly unpredictable, farmers always live under the cloud of high uncertainty relating to their livelihood. Therefore, farmers are understanding the significance of crop insurance and how these contracts mitigate the risk factor associated with the farming profession. Important to note, American farmers have two insurance options: Multiple Peril Crop Insurance(MPCI) and Crop-Hail Insurance. While the MPCI is a federal crop insurance program and is run through public-private ...

My two-year crop rotation plan will include seed corn and soybeans. Soybeans will be planted in the first year on a virgin land followed by seed corn in the second year. The inclusion of a leguminous crop, like soybeans, in crop rotation, improves the soil fertility as well as the structure (Mohler and Johnson, 2009). Legumes releases nitrogen to the soil, which will reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed for the sweet corn in the following year (Griffin, Liebman, and Jemison, 2000). These crops will be planted in North Carolina.

The soybean cultivar to be planted is Envy, ...

The Effects of Climate Change on Allergies and Asthma Cases

Since the discovery of global warming or climate change, scientists have been warning the public of the possible implications this phenomenon could bring. They highlight erratic and severe weather patterns, changing ecosystems and the persistence of diseases that cannot easily be treated. While skeptics remain ignorant over these warnings and governments trying to make amends over their national policies, statistics show that these warnings should be taken seriously especially with regards to respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies. However, it is a question as to what impacts climate change has towards the prevalence on allergies and asthma cases ...

Abstract. The installation of water table control in any soils is a key tool in the efforts to improve the soil environment for better and effective growth of vegetation. In addition to this, water table control installations also regulate or manage the irrigation water and drainage. This systems help in storage of water for future use as well as ensuring the rainfall is effectively used. This study looks forward to exploring the effects of a poorly controlled water table and how the damages involved can be done away with.

Five centuries years ago the Brazilian Atlantic forest covered approximately 330 million acres of the state’s area but today more than 93% of it has been cut down. The Brazilian Atlantic forest is one of the richest and most biologically diverse forest on the planet. But unfortunately, it is one of the most vulnerable and endangered natural objects of the Earth. During the settlement of these lands, the Atlantic forest was cut down mercilessly for coffee plantations, cattle grazing and for the needs of the construction. Today, only about eight percent of the original Atlantic forest is preserved – ...
