Another one of the specialists speaking in this first video, mentions how agriculture can either be part of the problem or part of the solution.  1.2 This first video also mentions the separation of farming from ranching was the first downfall. By doing this, they took away the symbiotic relationship between. And then gives us some facts of 30% of emissions are due to agriculture, as well as 70% of water use, and also responsible for 60% of biodiversity loss. Regenerative organic farming helps soothe these losses by looking at how they can improve soil health and animal welfare.  2.0 Explore the Facts 2.1 Soil is an important natural resource.

This article also suggests development of species over a span of time. “Ecological biogeography refers to the study of the contributing factors for the global distribution of plant and animal species.” is a quote from the bio dictionary. Points out the smaller factors in ecological studies. Some of these factors we explored and our experiments such as size, distance, mortality, and migration rates. In these trials, I got to either confirm or understand better which of these factors changed the data.  2.0 Data Collection and Analysis When I first started running the simulation, there were no changes made to the islands. This was to set up some sort of control or comparison to set up a norm. Since there was no manipulation of the second trial, the data show a baseline to compare to. The average of bot...
