Comment on Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis – Unit 2 by matt.plaus

matt.plaus — Fri, 04 May 2012 00:25:09 +0000

So if there are two vines in the same area, Kudzu and a native species, and there is low disturbance Kudzu will just out compete the native vine like you said. And if there is high disturbance everything is at risk like you said. But if there is some intermediate disturbance in the area then enough Kudzu may cleared out to give some native vines time and space to grow back. Of course eventually the Kudzu will still out compete the native vine, but if something continues to cause an amount of damage that does not threaten to destroy either species, than enough Kudzu could be continually cleared out to give more space and opportunity for the native vine to grow too.

Comment on Question About Renewable Energy by derrickwillard

“Water temperature fluctuations in streams may be further worsened by cutting down trees which provide shade and by absorbing more heat from sunlight due to increased water turbidity.”

More turbid waters absorb more energy apparently. So, less trees, more erosion, more turbidity (suspended solids/sediments), higher temps (and less oxygen)….
