Sexual reproduction: Northern white-cedar begins producing cones as young as 6 years of age and begins producing large quantities by age 30.  Seeds have lateral wings and are disseminated by wind.

Northern white-cedar germinates on a both mineral and organic soils, but seedling is limited to areas with a moisture supply

Seedling growth is slow

Vegetative reproduction: with moisture conditions, northern
white-cedar reproduces by layering

# data[].attributes.body
grows in a wide variety of soils

grows best on well-drained sites

grows in cool, moist, nutrient-rich sites

reproduces well on moist organic soils exposed by fire if a seed source is nearby

highly susceptible to fire because of thin bark

# data[].attributes.body
Where the tree is common its soft but brittle wood is used for fences, shingles and small articles. The tree also is used in ornamental plantings. White-tailed Deer use Arborvitae thickets in winter, and smaller mammals as well as birds feed on its seeds

# data[].attributes.body
Their big eyes can see anywhere in any directions. Also, have eardrums which allows the frog to hear voices of other creatures.

# data[].attributes.body
Adult green frogs are highly aquatic but the younger ones will sometimes go overland when the grass and soil are wet. Usually, inactive at night.

# data[].attributes.body
Green frogs will catch insects that are attracted to the light and attempt to eat any mouth-sized animal they can capture such as;

insects, spiders, fish, crayfish, shrimp, other frogs, tadpoles, small snakes, birds, mouse and snails

will eat everything that passes by them, without really going after prey

# data[].attributes.body
breed in fresh water

at the same time the female releases her eggs and the male releases sperm, which swim to the egg mass

fertilization takes place in the water

a single egg clutch may consist of 1000 to 7000 eggs

breeding season is from April to August

# data[].attributes.body
Daddy long legs cannot survive outside during the winter.

They are nown to gather together in large numbers for reasons such as;

they eject chemicals from special glands in their bodies that give them a horrible smell which helps to repel larger predators

when they are gathered together, they appear bigger and are more likely to scare away predators

# data[].attributes.body
defend themselves by emitting a foul odor.

sometimes there fragile legs gets tangled in cracks, but when that happens they simply get rid of that leg and move on, because they can grow a new one in no time

use touch and chemicals to communicate; are also very sensitive to vibrations in their webs

completely harmless to people

# data[].attributes.body
Insects and other spiders get trapped in the web. Then, the daddy long legs covers the prey with silk and takes its deadly bite.

# data[].attributes.body
mate throughout the year

male daddy long legs usually live for about 1 year and die after mating

male squirts sperm onto the web then sucks it up into his pedipalps. It then inserts the pedipalps into the female’s epigynum, and she carries the sperm around with her until she lays her eggs.

exchange nutrients between the mycelium of the fungi and the roots of the tree.

deer, elk, grey squirrel and humans, all use morel mushrooms as a food source

# data[].attributes.body
asexual reproduction: occurs after sunlight is available; shown below

sexual reproduction: the sclerotium converts back to the primary mycelia to go through the process of plasogamy, which is shown below.

# data[].attributes.body
Morels are heterotrophic which means they are "other feeding" and must feed on reserved organic material. Morel doesn't rely on photosynthesis, therefore it obtains nutrients from the soil

# data[].attributes.body
The sclerotium help protects the fungi mycelium when living conditions are not sutable for the morel to grow; this adaptation helps the survival of the fungi during droughts, cold weather and fires

Bluebirds nest from late March through early August

3 to 5 pale blue eggs

Typically, 2 broods are raised during the nesting season

cup-shaped nests of grass or pine needles in a nest box or some other cavity

# data[].attributes.body
Food availability for the winter, will determine migration. If bluebirds do remain in a region for the winter, they group and look for cover in heavy thickets, orchards, or other areas in which enough food and cover resources are present.

# data[].attributes.body
Bluebirds feed by landing on a high point, such as a branch or fence post, and swooping down to catch insects on or near the ground.

about 2/3 of the diet of an adult consists of insects and other invertebrates

wild fruits or berries

# data[].attributes.body
Bluebirds are territorial and prefer open grassland with scattered trees.

Range from the east of the Rocky Mountains, spanning from southern Canada to the Gulf states and on into Mexico and Honduras.

Lives in open woodlands, roadsides, farmlands, orchards and occasionally suburbs and city parks.

# data[].attributes.body
Males identify potential nest sites and try to attract prospective female mates to those nesting sites with special behaviors that include singing and flapping wings, and then placing some material in a nesting box or cavity.

Bird species competing with bluebirds for nesting locations take over the nesting sites of bluebirds, killing young, smashing eggs, and even killing adult bluebirds.

# data[].attributes.body
Female adults seem to be attracted by skin warmth and are nocturnal feeders.

Adults are vicious biters and may cause pain to their host species and may become secondarily infected. Mosquitos can also bite through clothing.

# data[].attributes.body
The adults are known to migrate long distances from their breeding places and has been recorded with a flight range between 5 and 10 miles.

Females tend to feed in shady places during the day.

# data[].attributes.body
Reproduction of the adults takes place throughout the year in the extreme south of the United States but is more common from May to October farther north.

Only one mating by the females is generally required to fertilize her lifetime egg production.

Development of the eggs, larvae and pupae of all mosquitos needs water.

# data[].attributes.body
Females prefer only the blood of mammals for protein meals. However, like all mosquitoes, they will also take sugary liquids like nectar, honeydew and sap. Adult males feed on nectar and other plant juices.

When females eat, a tube is formed by the proboscis and the stylets stabs the skin of the host and form a small tube where saliva is injected into the wound; they also act as a canal through which liquid food is ingested.

# data[].attributes.body
Common in southern Canada and throughout most of the US, but is less abundant in the extreme south; nearly cosmopolitan. Also, occurs on every continent except Antarctica.

The species is most common in grassy pools near wooded areas, partially shaded woodland pools, roadside ditches, and pools in open fields.

They are found in temporary rain-filled pools and pools formed by floodwater.

Mosquitoes can live in almost any environment, with the exception of extreme cold weather.

They favor forests, marshes, tall grasses and weeds, and ground that is wet at least part of the year.

Individual aspen are genetically identical stems that originate as suckers growing from a common root system.

# data[].attributes.body
A quaking aspen grows can handle nearly every kind of soil and is among the first trees to grow after a forest fire. A number of insect pests attack it, and potential diseases typically cause it to be a very short-lived tree. Feeding and burrowing in the leaves and stems are where insects prevail and aspen bark is a major winter food source for elk. One more interesting fact is that aspen bark contains salicin, a chemical closely  related to aspirin.

# data[].attributes.body
It is adaptable to nearly all soil types, and can survive on wet sites. Typically grows in full sun although it can tolerate light shade. Some trees are self-pruning, causing small twigs to drop with excess fall foliage and returning nutrients to the soil. Furthermore,  temperatures above 12° C for about 6 days triggers flowering.

# data[].attributes.body
Clone species: Roots able to produce new stems after fire or other disturbance.

Dioecious species: Generally produces an abundance of possible seeds.

Sexual reproduction: Flowers are wind-pollinated, and evidence suggests greater abundance of male plants in natural populations.

Vegetative regeneration: Primarily through suckering, although sprouting from root collars and stumps also occurs.

Germination requires a continuous supply of moisture, and exposed mineral soil, but may be limited by high temperatures,  drought, disease, insects, heavy rains, extreme temperature fluctuations, or unfavorable soil chemistry.

# data[].attributes.body
Normally found on road margins and gravel pads in a region where soils are often waterlogged due to underlying permafrost.

Habitat requires a continuous supply of moisture, exposed mineral soil, and cold, but not high temperatures.

Soils range from shallow and rocky, to deep, heavy clays, including: infertile dry sands, rich loams, waterlogged mineral soils and peats.

Grows across the majority of Canada, and in most of Alaska. Also, throughout much of the West, including the Rocky Mountains. The tree also grows in the East from Pennsylvania to Maine and westward through the Great Lakes and Minnesota.

Calcium and magnesium are absorbed by its cell walls from rainwater. Peat moss also gets nutrients from photosynthesis.

# data[].attributes.body
It reproduces by forming capsules filled with spores.

It also reproduces by growing from broken off pieces of bigger plants.

# data[].attributes.body
Peat moss adapts to its environment by creating its own habitat. The fact that sphagnum can grow in extremely poor habitats is the ability to conserve nutrients.

# data[].attributes.body
Peat Moss is normally found in found in wet, boggy, and moist tundra areas like peat bogs, marshland, heath, moorland. However, moisture plays a major role in climate change, because peat can only grow in areas that are constantly wet, with summer temperatures being too hot, Sphagnum will suffer from damages when subject to temperatures exceeding 15°C.
