Management of a 40 Acre Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) Stand in Southern Michigan for Sustained Production of Sawtimber Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is a hard maple used primarily for its lumber and sap. In fact, 9% of the hardwood sawtimber volume in the U.S. comes from this species (5). My client would like to begin extracting sawtimber from her 40 acre maple-dominated stand that has been unmanaged to this point. She sees a market for her sawtimber in the regional flooring industry, but would
Sugar Gliders By:Tejah Thull Sugar gliders are not sweet. They have “sugar” in their name because of their desire for sweet tree sap. Also they have “glider” in their name because they can glide up to an entire football field in length. Sugar gliders are very unique due to their habitat, appearance, and life The habitat of a sugar glider is quite unique. Sugar gliders live in the treetops of forest. They like the forest more than anything because of all the trees for them to get sap and glide back
Sugar Glider Profile By: Kayla Dean I will be discussing the life, biology, evolution, and domestication of a sugar glider. Sugar gliders are an invasive species of marsupials native to Australia. Some of the most interesting about sugar gliders are their reproductive system and ability to glide. I will also discuss their diet and natural environment and how it differentiates with the environment in the United States, where they are becoming rapidly domesticated, and unlike several exotic animals
Michael Dell began his company, Dell Computer, by selling IBM Personal Computers in 1984. A year later they shifted to selling the Dell branded computers. Having faced stiff competition from IBM, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Gateway, eMachines, and Toshiba, for over a decade running, Dell strategically adopted Internet and e-commerce in 2000, which according to Kraemer and Dedrick, “Aimed at improving its own efficiency, enhancing customer satisfaction, and reaching new product markets;” though
The Acer Way Very Succesful Way Technology development in the last two decades have help us come this far, and maybe even more further as human being, including ourselves, have the passion and bigger need for something more advanced than what we already achieved. The technology developing is now not only a scientist's job to invent, but also it has become major businesses in the world economy. One of the major technology business is computer technology or usually known as IT or Information
material. They usually have a shallow and fibrous root system in the beginning, so uniform watering and mulch is needed for a few years to establish the tree. To avoid competition for water and nutrients, keep the area under the tree well weeded. Acer palmatum has many different varieties that have different colors, leaf shapes, and growth habits. The tree openly pollinates, which means that seeds from a specific cultivar will not be an exact clone of the parent tree. For this reason, propagation
The null hypothesis being tested states that there is no difference in maple tree density in rural versus urban habitats. The experiment conducted observed maple tree density in both rural and urban habitats. The observed mean number of maple trees per quadrant in an urban habitat (Jackson Park) was 2 trees. The observed mean number of maple trees per quadrant in a rural habitat (Ojibway) was 6.25 trees. A student’s t-test was performed to test the null hypothesis. The tree density was measured in
creating maple sugar, we will all have a greater understanding of Maple syrup. Maple trees first originated in China or Japan, and expand into about 100 species. " Of the four North American species good for sugaring, the hard or rock maple, Acer Saccharum, produces sap of greater quality and in greater quantity than the others and accounts for most of the syrup produced today." (On Food and Cooking, pg. 383). Photosynthesis is the conversion of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into sugar. The
For a species to survive and flourish within a given environment, it not only needs to replace itself but also all the other species around it exclusively. Hence, if one species completely replaces another species, the result is a single dominant species, a monoculture (source 2). According to Gause’s law, every species in a given environment occupies different niches for survival. Therefore, two separate species competing for similar resources cannot fundamentally coexist (source Gause). This is
