Second grade is an important time in a child’s life as they explore their abilities further across math, science, English (reading, writing, vocabulary, and more!), and social studies. These subjects are core t
Many apex predators arekeystone species, meaning their impact on the environment is disproportionately large compared to their population size. Apex predators are often central players in what ecologists refer to as “trophic cascades” – the series of effects that trickle down through the food chain...
sociology, and food culture, my analysis demonstrates that current EU food additive regulations fail to ensure equitable access to food safety within UPF markets. By overlooking the ways in which food additives are used in modern UPF production and how additive safety is distributed within these mar...
Human beings are an irritant to Mother Nature, and in spite of the fact that it took their brains five million years to evolve, She can rid Herself of them in an instant. This, however, may not be necessary, since humans seem to be racing to see if they can save Her the trouble. ...

Why are camels beneficial in desert biomes? Why are coastal deserts dry? Why are whales important in the marine biome? How is water distributed through the biosphere? How do the tree hemlocks adapt to the taiga biome? Why is the savanna biome important? How does topography affect food produc...

they are opposed to more mainstream ecological world views, but they need to be put in perspective with other widespread conceptions, and discussed on the basis on their own principles. For example, the impoverishment of biodiversity and the decay of ecosystem services decrease the human capability...
