Ingredients of our ecosphere:
pond water
water and minerals
gravel
soil
hay
anabaena
sellenarium
shrimp
daphnaea
plants: 1 water sprite
1 basopa
Appearance and growth difference
Group SALTS ecospehere plant life seems to be
more dense and brush. This is due to the large
amount of water sprite and barcopa that grew.
Group SALT by far had the most plant life than
the other groups.
The daphnia in our ecosphere has also multiplied
quite alot but because of how small it is it does
not photgraph well.
We are actually quite pleased with the growth
that our ecosphere has displayed and hope to keep
it after the course is over.
Here are some other pics of the progress of our
ecosphere to compare from the first week until
now.
Figure 2: Observation day May 18, 2016. Definitely a
substantial amount of plant growth.
Figure 3: A view of the ecosphere up close
Figure 4: An up close view of the other groups ecosphere so
you can see the plant life difference.

| Ingredients of other group's ecosphere: pond water water and minerals gravel soil hay anabaena daphnaea 1 water sprite 2 basopa Ingredients added that are different: euglena volvox snail This group seem to have the same amount of plant life but seems more sparsely spaced just because the plant life that grew in their ecosphere it a bigger leaf type and ours seemd to grow more needlelike plant life. |
Wow your group's ecosphere does look very green. It kind of looks like an underwater rainforest. I guess your daphnia will live long and prosper since you're keeping them!
ReplyDeleteYour ecosphere looks like its doing well, it is very interesting to see how some plant life flourishes in some of the jars and does out in others. I imagine there is a lot of interconnected factors between the soil substrate and the other biological organisms in the experiment that contribute to this, it would be interesting to figure out what were the triggers that caused your ecosphere to succeed in new biomass much more than other groups!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I liked that your group added a whole summary of the times that you had observed your ecosphere throughout the experiment. I hope your daphina has a long live.

Good job guys, I enjoyed how the paragraph below the heading "Appearance and Growth Difference" is structured like an artsy poem. It was also nice that you included information about another group's ecosphere which I was able to compare and contrast to yours.
