      The first thing I noticed from looking at your presentation was the neatness and what causes global warming.I didn't know global warming was this bad until I saw why and what is happening.You have great pictures that can draw thousands of words to my head.My topic was also global warming but by looking at yours I also learned some new things that I didn't know about global warming.I learned that if global warming keeps happening there will be shifting precipitation patters which causes animals to move homes.I would like to know the several greenhouse gases that are responsible for global warming?

    The first thing I noticed about deforestation is that it is a type of global warming.I learned that when you deforest trees it causes the carbon dioxide level rise and the oxygen level to lower.If we keep cutting down forests we are going to have less and less trees with more carbon dioxide while we could just go to technology and try to save trees and build on to forests.I can make a connection with deforestation to global warming because deforestation is one of the causes of global warming.I want to know why deforestation will break the ozone layer and how it goes down and deep so far to do that?

Our Plant as of 11/12/13

Plant Status Update 5 By Cameron DeHart

     I have noticed new anatomical structures growing on our plant. Many small leaves have been sprouting at the top of our plant, which shows signs of health and growth, which is good news considering our plant was the "runt" compared to other groups bean plants.
 
     I believe the main limiting factor of our bean plant growing much more is space. Our plant is in competition with many other bean plants in the planter box that it is located in. I believe that the max amount of bean plants that could grow in that planter given no other species coexisted there would be somewhere around 60-75 individual plants.

Plant status update #5 by Alyana Carrell

   There are two new anatomical structures i've noticed, there are tons of new sprouting leaves at the top of our plant. The plant itself has gotten way taller and wider.
    Our plant can increase numbers by more seeds,water,sun,and nutrients.You would need more seeds to expand the plant.
    Some factors that limit the bean plant from growing more in each garden box is the the competition in other plant fighting for nutrients,water,and sun.Another factor would be the insects eating the plants.
   I think the carrying capacity of one garden box is for phaseolus vulgaris would be around 50 because lots of other growing plants are near and if there are so many plants some wont get tons of nutrients,water or sun as the others so I think a lower amount of plants will be better.

Plant status update 4 By Cameron DeHart

Our plant relies on many abiotic factors to survive. Some of the factors are water, various minerals, radiation, and oxygen. Without one of any of these abiotic factors, our plant would die. Therefore, I see all of these factors as equally important.

From my observations, Our groups plant is in a form of competition for space, and resources to continue to grow and survive. However, it is quite different from a competition you would see from to animals.

Plants do not contain the ability to attain what it needs independently. As I stated earlier, a plant relies on another being or natural process to supply it with the nutrients it needs. However, plants have adapted to this by storing water and minerals for times when resources may be less abundant.

More interactions our plant has is mutualism because insects can eat our plant and both species benefit from it.

There is evidence that a form of succession goes on in the garden ecosystem. Soil in the beds before we planted means that there was already secondary succession in the gardens ecosystem.

Plant Status Update #5 by Amber Christensen

Recent changes in our plant have started to show since our last update. Anatomical structures shown on the plant were caterpillars, ladybugs, and signs of other species acting upon the plant. The factors that limit the plant include the amount of liquid given to the plant and the amount of sunlight produced within the plant to help it grow. I think the number of plants a garden box can grow until it reaches its maximum capacity is 10 large plants. Below is a picture of our plant at its current state.
