”The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value.”

Research of Interest – Water Quality Testing & Wetlands, Wetland Delineation – Although wetlands are often wet, a wetland might not be wet year – round in fact, some of the most important wetlands are only seasonally wet. Wetlands are the link between the land and the water. They are transition zones where the flow of water, the cycling of nutrients , and the energy of the sun meet to produce a unique ecosystem characterized by hydrology.

 

Areas of Intrest:  Soil Science, soil is a life-supporting layer of materials, although we often take soil for granted, it is a very thin and often fragile layer of life-supporting material. The earth consists of a solid part (core, mantile, and crust) and the atmosphere surrounding it.
