Essays on Monoculture

Summary Of Proposed Research

Global drought not only affects the world agriculture and economics, but interactively affects the phenotypic trait of plants across a different diversity gradient. Nevertheless, plants are able to adapt themselves to the drought environment by changing their phenotypic trait. From previous research at Jena Drought Experiment, in Germany, the results show that diversity not only has the capability to increase community’s resistance to drought, but also to increase community’s recovery ability after drought. On the other hand, the results show that the drought environment makes a strong selection on both, the plant phylogeny and functional trait. Yet, ...

Food and Agriculture

The use of modern technology in food production in the United States has led to mechanization and the production of agrochemicals that kill weeds and pests and act as crop fertilizers. This has resulted in farms shifting to monoculture as a preferred method of crop production. This method involves the use of large tracts of land to produce the same species of crops every year. Modern Biotechnology has also enabled the creation of Genetically Modified Organism that are crops whose genetic structure have been artificially modified to give them some desired characteristics. The use of monoculture as a method ...

Introduction

The late nineteenth century and the beginning twentieth century were marked by the great expansions and development in the society. The same was also evident in music which is part of an art that was in a revolution stage resulting to various movements.
