Document Summary
Glyphosate has a higher animal ld50 value, which indicates low toxicity levels for wildlife. It also is absorbed quickly which means that exposure isn"t for very long. This herbicide will work on broad leaf species and grasses. The three main ways matter is transported between landscapes are through: airflows, water, and humans: transport by airflows is most prominent on continent edges where winds are strongest. For example the diversion of water from aral sea for agricultural use. Which of the following are pollination syndromes: flower color, shape, scent linked to a pollinator, all of the above. Which of the following is a form of interference competition among plants using chemicals: parasitism, allelopathy, facilitation, competition. This proposed method of ecological restoration involved introducing old-world species as top predators to canada: paleontological remodeling, old world mega-fauna remodeling, pleistocene re-wilding, proxy species re-wilding. Ways to regulate/remove invasive species: controlled burns, round up application, mowing the area.
