Florida Scrub by https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy Reiland and Jason en-us 2016-12-09 19:26:41 UTC 2023-06-13 00:20:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Xmastree.png 1.) Describe the geological processes that allowed the Interior Scrub to form. dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/142896406 -sea levels start to fall and the sea is withdrawing
-the winds build up
-once the sea level has fallen the wind carries the sand to create dunes/sandhills]]> 2016-12-09 19:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/142896406 2.Describe how the fires in the Florida Scrub are different compared to fire in the High Pine Prairie or the Flats. westj18 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/142896585 -Crown fires 
-Burn fast and less frequently
-Very intense and tend to cause more damage
 -All trees die at once ]]> 2016-12-09 19:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/142896585 4. What is the Sand Pine's ecological role in the High Pine Prairie? Be specific westj18 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/142898742 -When pine catches on fire it opens and scatters the seeds
-Large trees that can be used as home of many birds and organisms in the florida scrub ecosystem 

]]> 2016-12-09 19:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/142898742 3.) Describe ALL adaptions the Sand Pine has to fire. dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143215681 -it releases seeds upon catching fire
-its very dependent on it
-crown fire spread very quickly
-it burns down quickly and effectively to start the regeneration period]]> 2016-12-12 19:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143215681 5.) Describe, in detail, specific water-conserving adaptations that plants in the Interior Scrub have dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143220552 -2 kinds of roots allow woody shrubs to retain water around the plant
-waxy coats prevent plants from evaporation
-roots interweave to share and keep water]]> 2016-12-12 19:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143220552 6.Describe, in detail, specific ways specific plants use chemicals to manipulate their environment. westj18 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143221500 -Florida rosemary uses a waxy coating on leaves that leads to less water lost through transpiration 
-The rosemary also produces insect repellants that help them 
withstand insect predation
-Some shrubs produce 
chemicals that, when leached 
into the soil inhibit the growth 
of other competing plants
]]> 2016-12-12 19:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143221500 7.) Describe the unique adaptations that the Emerald Moth Caterpillar has for life in the scrub. dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143221893 -it is very good at camouflaging
-stays still during the daytime
-looks different in different seasons 
-completely depends on the rosemary to hide from predators and for food]]> 2016-12-12 19:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143221893 8.) Describe the mutualistic relationship that the Florida Scrub Millipede and the Pygmy Mole Cricket have. dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143223158 -it clears the sand of leaves to allow sunlight to go through the sand where the algae is
-this is the main food source for the mole cricket]]> 2016-12-12 19:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143223158 11.) Describe the ecological value of the scrub. dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143224104 -potential refugees to coastal species when the seas rise
-important to understanding evolution because they have lots of species that are near extinction

-Not a good adaption to begin with
-They began to be separated by formation of river
-Reproductive isolation
-The gene eventually got weeded out ]]> 2016-12-13 19:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143463472 dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143463996 2016-12-13 19:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143463996 dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143464790 2016-12-13 19:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143464790 dominguer19 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143465351 2016-12-13 19:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143465351 Florida Scrub Jay westj18 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143469226 Keystone Species of the scrub ]]> 2016-12-13 19:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143469226 10.) Describe are the characteristics that make the Florida Scrub Jay unique. westj18 https://padlet.com/dominguer19/ykoz61z7b9iy/wish/143627807 - Restricted to the rare oak scrub community of Florida (Endemic to Florida) 
-Classified as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act
-Originated in the desert of the 
southwest
-Adapted for life on ground 
where it scratches for acrons, 
seeds, inscets, lizards, and 
small snakes
-Relatives help eachother out
