Forest:
What happens to the forest creatures that once inhabited the forest before it got cut down?
Freshwater:
If we cut down the forest, would there still be enough photosynthesis for human life and other creatures to survive?
Marine:
How does the marine get clean of the polluted runoff?
Desert:
Does the Sahara desert have abundant soil?
Are there fires in the Sahara Desert?
With the frequently blowing sand, how do fires start, despite the hot temperature all the time?
Grassland:
Do people live in temperate grassland?
Tundra:
Can trees grow in Alpine Tundras?

Biome Part 2
Reuniting a River
Quote:
"Then, perhaps because the water in the slack river was so warm, they retreated back to the estuary. Rain in the Siskiyou Mountains cooled the river enough to encourage the fish to head back upstream, but when the weather turned sunny and hot, the fish, wearied by the false start and weakened by infections, didn't get far: At least 30,000 chinook salmon died in the lower 40 miles. "
You can't eat the fish anymore, and if you can't eat it, is it bad for the animals to eat the infected fish as well?
It's horrible that these fish are trapped in their home, and can't fine 'home'. They don't know where to go. It's too hot, there are infections everywhere, and no matter where they go someone is looking for a quick meal. They have a hard life, and it's not they're fault. Something is happening to their water, and I feel like these are going to be one of those species that'll quickly disappear, and make just a small ripple in the news and care of many people in the world.

"So a star was born. Finding Nemo, the Pixar movie Stanton wrote and directed, won the 2003 Academy Award for best animated feature and remains one of the highest grossing G-rated films of all time, taking in over $850 million to date."
So that picture was his inspiration for Finding Nemo?
Oh my gosh. Tell me why I was so thinking about Finding Nemo when i saw that picture. i think Nemo looks wayyy cuter than that ugly fish in the picture but i just think that that's just so cute. And a really good way to get inspiration, seeing a real life picture. I don't know.

"Gilas can drink enough in one day to boost their body weight 20 percent."
*gasp* What am I doing wrong?
I eat, and eat, and eat, and I have yet to gain 10 pounds from 9th grade. I still weigh the same since middle school, and that's kind of frustrating. What are they doing, that I have yet to incorporate into myself. I eat all day, and I drink drinks all the time. I'ma look them up, maybe I should study them, but I need to gain weight like that. And I need to go straight to my butt and thighs. Sexy.

4 Garden Changing Goals
1. Add more flowers (pretty flowers)
2. Add better trees
3. Find a way to add animals and creatures that would dwell in the type of environment
4. Make the soil more relevant for the plant. Like the flowers that like sand need to be planted in the sand.

annotated Bibliography
Soos, Andy. “Pesticides in California Rivers”. Environmental News Network. 03 Feb. 2010. Web. 05 Oct. 2010. http://www.enn.com/ecosystems/article/40981.
Some widely used pesticides are leaking into the rivers and are toxic to the river dwellers. It’s endangering food that comes from the river, such as fish and other aquatic animals. So we should find some organic, or environmentally safe, pesticides.
McGinley, Mark. “Gulf of California Large Marine Ecosystem”. The Encyclopedia of Earth. 08 Oct. 2008. Web. 05 Oct. 2010. http://www.eoearth.org/article/Gulf_of_California_large_marine_ecosystem.
The Gulf of California has a wide variety of plants, marine life, and uses. Human activities are altering the ecosystem of this LME. Over-fishing is decreasing the fish. The pesticides Mexicali and other nearby states are using are polluting the gulf and making it toxic. Because of these kinds of things, I think we should plant a lot of whatever we decide to plant, because so many things can happen to it. And once again, we should use environmentally safe pesticides.
E. B. Limm, T. E. Dawson. “Redwood Forest Ecosystem of Northern California Depends on Fog to Stay Hydrated During Rainless Summers.” Science Daily. 09 July. 2010. Web. 05 Oct. 2010. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/07/100708171345.htm.
There are a lot of summertime droughts and global warming signs appearing in ecosystems. Fog is an important source of water for ecosystems throughout the summer. The northern end of the rainforest is doing better than the southern end due to the fog. So in conclusion, maybe we should find plants that benefit from drought, because I doubt there is a lot of fog in the area our garden is going to be in. maybe a desert garden would be more successful than a rainforest garden, especially because I doubt will be up there everyday to make sure the flowers get the amount of water they need.
