Firstly,\nI chose the maples because of the fall season. Most of the leaves on the ground\ncame from them. They represent the change in seasons from Summer to Fall. The\nreason for the slug is that slugs come out in wet weather, and we have had quite\na lot of wet weather quite recently. The reason for the pine was to show that\nnot every tree is affected as greatly as the maples are by the season change. I\nidentified the grass because of how much it was affected by the flooding. The\nfinal thing was the American beech just to show how many of them are in my area.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One\nof the changed that has occurred in the vegetation is that now you can see from\none end of the forest to the other. There has been a huge amount of leaves falling.\nWhat used to be one of the most prominent tree types were deciduous trees but\nnow the main one that\u2019s easiest to see are the coniferous trees. An interesting\nthing about this is that now you can tell that the conifers only grow from\nhalfway up their trunk to get the most value for their sun. The deciduous trees\ngrow up to that point which I think is why they have that growing pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One\ninteresting thing about the soils right now is that they are very wet. The\nsoils are all runny and muddy. It is unearthing the nutrients and spreading them\nacross the whole forest. Also, they are slowly getting tons of leaves\ndecomposing into them, which is why I suspect the slugs came out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One\nthing that the map did was reinforce the barrier between the conifers and\ndeciduous trees. It showed how they both had their line and did not really\ncross it. It also showed how the river heavily the entire ecosystem a ton. It\ngives nutrients to all of the surrounding plants, and the flood gives a huge\nspread of nutrients. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
