Neighborhood Walk-About
I really enjoyed my walk around my neighborhood. Usually i do not pay attention to my surroundings because i am jogging. Every now and then i do see some interesting animals such as deer or raccoons but none this time.
I live with my parents currently in North Port estates. There are not many people who live in my neighborhood. For this reason much of the nature is undisturbed by humans. While i was walking around and taking in nature i asked myself the following questions.
Questions:
1. What kinds of plants and trees are present in this ecosystem?
2. Are all of the plants and trees native to Florida?
3. How many different kinds of animals live in this ecosystem?
4. Are all of the animals native to Florida?
5. Which plants and animals are an invasive species?
6. What are the effects that the local infrastructure has on the ecosystem?
7. What are the effects of drought on the ecosystem?
8. What are the effects of heavy rains on the ecosystem?
9. How does pesticides and fertilizers used by people effect the ecosystem?
10. How does new construction and development effect the ecosystem?
