Essays on Relative Density

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.

- Abstract Description and Proposal of Project. This project is based on the structural and compositional dynamics of a local forest. The type of forest that is used for this research is Oak-Hickory. A local forester invited our group to conduct a Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) in the forest. The process involved the setting up of Continuous Forest Inventory plots in this forest. A total of three fifth-acres CFI plots were set of up. The process of setting up these plots involved the random selection of a site within the forest and the identification of a plot center. All trees within 52.7 ...

Introduction

Platelets comprise of a very important component in the blood. They prevent blood loss in the body. This is enhanced by formation of an entangled mesh made of fibrinogen which is activated by calcium ions and the von Willbrand factor. A complex physiology ensues within the first few minutes of exposure of the tissue underlying the epithelial tissue in the skin (Hoffman 2009, p.123). Platelets also play a very important role in ensuring the pathogenic organisms are prevented from entering the body through the exposed tissue on the skin. This paper comprise of various components which are intended to illustrate the ...
