The climate there has 6 months of wet, cool weather while the other 6 months is a hot drought. There is a stream that holds the coho salmon and steelhead. When the birds mud flats are covered by the ride, they will move up local creeks.]]> 2018-09-13 13:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/280822192 Ecological Relationships 93145 https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/280825489 * Many birds fly and perch on the coastal scrub
* Birds such as rufous-crowned sparrows, vireos, kinglets, and wood warblers eat insects in the green leaves of live oaks and wax myrtles
* Fishermen use the fish that live in the stream

Since there are only two types of trees, there isn't much of a variety so the animals have very limited options of what trees they can go to. ]]> 2018-09-13 13:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/280830056 Nonnative Species 93145 https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/280831320 The nonnative species in this study is the eucalyptus tree. People started planting them in the 1850's because they were said to be a perfect source of timber and fuel. These trees were planted throughout coastal and central California. ]]> 2018-09-13 13:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/280831320 How the Eucalyptus may Affect Other Organisms 93145 https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/281281656 The eucalyptus has the ability to clog drains and damage streamsides. Not only is this dangerous to the environment itself, it will cause a big problem to the fish who live in the stream. Herbicide is also produced by the tree to kill young plants beneath them, so that will stop wildlife from growing in those certain areas and make it overall more hard to multiply. The birds in Australia have evolved to be able to get into the flowers of the tree without getting sticky gum on them, however, the California birds are not able to do that and they are not evolved for that. Fallen leaves, bark, and other things were broken up by microbes and insects in the natural habitat of the eucalyptus. In the California habitat, there are no organisms to break those down. This could possibly cause problems because that waste will cover a lot of space around the tree.]]> 2018-09-14 13:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/281281656 Before Eucalyptus 93145 https://padlet.com/93145/84empzo5nk2w/wish/282292395
