NORTHERN FORESTS By: Craig Yox, Paige Swarthout, Brynnan Curry, Krishayne Bania

PLANTS  There are different type of plants in our ecosystem which include oak trees, pine trees, moss, sunflowers, and bahia grass. Most of the animals that live in this ecosystem depend on these plants so that they can live.  Citation:

ANIMALS  The northern forest also have all kinds of animals as well. There are snakes, bears, deer, rabbits, squirrels, and fish. All of theses animals depend on this ecosystem so it was very important for us to take this into consideration and design our city so we don’t affect the animals.  Citation:

LIMITING FACTORS  Some limiting factors of the northern forests could be that there is not enough sunlight, not enough rain, and destroying shelter. If these things were to happen most of the plants and animals would die.  You could stop these by not polluting the environment and by not cutting down habitats.  Citation:

WAYS HUMANS USE OUR ECOSYSTEM  Humans use our ecosystem by taking the plants and animals and eating them for energy. A way to stop this would be to set regulations. You could also give back to the environment or plant new trees and plants.  No citation

TOPOGRAPHY  The topography of northern forest are mountains, hills, ditches, lakes, ponds, and river. These features are what makes the northern forests.  Citation:

WEATHER EVENTS/CLIMATE  Some weather events of northern forests include thunderstorms, tornados, rainstorms, and blizzards. They could affect the city by destroying it, but we designed it so that they would not.  It is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The average temperature is 26 degrees to 85 degrees. It mostly snows in the winter and rains in the summer.  Citation:

ENERGY SOURCE  We chose to use solar power as our energy source. We chose solar power because it is better for the environment. Solar power also doesn’t cost much. Another reason why we chose it is because there is plenty of sunlight in the forest.  No citation

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF NEW YORK  Some historical facts about New York are that France was one of the first countries to come to New York. New York city also hosted the first colonial congress to discuss the stamp act. In 1797 Albany became the capital of New York. New York supplied lots of the unions forces. The statue of Liberty was a gift from France too.  Citation:

HOW WE DESIGNED OUR CITY  We designed our city to withstand any kind of weather event so that it will not get destroyed. We also designed it to keep the environment in good condition. We kind of separated the city from the woods and are using solar power so that we do not pollute the earth or cut down to much vegetation. We also made sure that we would not ruin animal habitats.
