Sugar and leaf litter appeared to have an inhibitory effect, except in the area of root mass. These results were similar to those obtained by Levy & Taylor (2003). Their study also found an inhibitory effect in treatments with municipal wastes a Continue Reading...
ability of plants to respond to environmental factors such as soil temperatures. This paper examines the effects of arti-cially warmed environment using open-top chambers (OTCs). It investigates the effect of temperature changes on the growth of Dry Continue Reading...
There are, of course, other methods that have been developed for the reduction of destruction to agricultural crops from pest insects such as the Manduca sexta, including the use of aqueous vermicompost solutions as fertilizers for plant growth (Ed Continue Reading...
microorganism, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, displays a symbiotic relationship with soybean plants. There are different factors that may affect the relationship of this microorganism with plant biomass. These factors may be pH, temperature, the nutritio Continue Reading...

This lighting component is connected by the "IR receiver/sensor to the dimming ballast...[which]...provides the control to change the lamp's lumen output." (Richman, 2005)
Another lighting system introduced by Knisley is one that "features a manual Continue Reading...

Color
Discussion of Graph:
The graph tracks the different heights. Blue light shows better results than red or yellow light. Blue is part of the white light spectrum, so it is understandable that the results would be similar. White Continue Reading...
Logistics of Building a Lunar Greenhouse
"A spacecraft approaches the lunar pole, spits out a pod from which sprout several tubular arms it uses to bury itself in the soil, where it begins growing plants in preparation for man's return to the moon"

Cypripedium reginae is more commonly known as Pink and White Lady's Slipper, Queens Lady's Slipper or Showy Lady's Slipper (Kartesz, 1994). Coming from the plantae kin Continue Reading...
Lighting periods and cycles should also remain identical for all plants. Results would be measured in weekly or bi-weekly intervals (depending on the growth rate of the plant used) by a leaf count according to hemispheric position -- that is, the pl Continue Reading...
This should be done 1-2 weeks before the experiment begins -- the goal is to have a full pot of grass that is at least 1" tall. Ensure that each pot has a FULL amount of grass growing to the edges of the pot.
Methodology -- Label each pot as 1, 2, Continue Reading...
Water Pollution
Water is an important natural resource upon which all the living beings rely for their existence and growth. Nature has blessed the earth with uncountable water resources but usable quantity is limited. Hence, it is important to use Continue Reading...
Photosynthesis & Solar Photovoltaic Technology
What is photosynthesis and how does photosynthesis work? How is process of photosynthesis linked to photovoltaic technologies? How are they the same and how are they different? This paper will delve Continue Reading...
The following study suggests that whilst macro and micronutrients are conducive to plant growth it is water that has the greatest impact on, and is the most crucial regulator of plant growth and, when regulated, can lead to the highest growth spurt Continue Reading...
This implies that decomposition process goes on activated by the young earthworms in the soil, given that the soil is loose, moist and rich in organic matter for the worms to remain alive. The bacterium which is present in the alimentary canal of th Continue Reading...

Scientists have discovered that new plants can be grown Continue Reading...
Moreover, it was unknown which specific chemical fertilizers would be more conducive to plant growth in Brassica rapa in particular. Another possible reason for the unexpected results is differential application of the fertilizer. For this research, Continue Reading...
The extinction of birds will have a devastating effect on other species, largely through the destruction of plants upon which they feed. The loss of scavengers could harm human populations by reducing the chance of disease spread. The loss of scaven Continue Reading...
Small fires, on the other hand, are less intense, and therefore cause less damage to the pine. The low air temperature in many areas of shortleaf pine growth help the heat of the fire dissipate, and therefore, more fire is required to raise the temp Continue Reading...
International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica
Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent Continue Reading...
It was then important to see the degree at which technology and training played a role in combating each fire.

Humans on Ecology-
Deforestation in Brazil
Humans have been supposedly trying to protect the eco-system and environment for a long time. However without realizing, they themselves are causing the most destruction by their ill-planned moves and car Continue Reading...
popularized social and cultural trends are merging, intentionally or not, toward laying the foundation for generating a new narrative about what it means to learn across a lifespan in an environment conducive to healthy living. It seeks to examine t Continue Reading...
Oceans & Waters
Surface runoff is the water that makes its way to water collection sites, streams, rivers, lakes and ultimately to the oceans when the ground itself is beyond the capacity to hold it. If this water works its way through places wh Continue Reading...
Aquaculture in the Midwest
Except for bucolic scenes of fishing on rivers meandering across the Midwest and Great Plains, most people don't equate fish with that region, at least not huge catches of commercial fish. However, as long ago as 1996, "tr Continue Reading...

In India, the government is attempting to bring the focus of attention on the presence of fine dust particles as well as the presence of fly ash in the air, and this attempt is being carried out by a series of mitigation measures. The need of the da Continue Reading...
Riparian Buffer Management
Current Knowledge and Standards
Most bodies of water, both running and standing, have a flood plain known as a riparian area. Whether the waterway is a large river or a small, intermittent creek, the water directly affect Continue Reading...
This study demonstrates that different total P. fraction releases may differ between two bodies of water under similar oxygen conditions (Kisand & Noges, 2003). This study is important in that it highlights the complexity of understanding P. fra Continue Reading...
Microbes
The Role of Microbes
Whitman and colleagues estimated in 1998 that the microbial population in the ocean's sedimentary layers represented between 55% and 86% of all microbial biomass on the Earth's surface and 27% to 33% of the biomass fo Continue Reading...
