This is a Christmas Cactus! The makeup of our soils can make or break products it helps create. The ideal pH of the soil for this plant should be 5.5 to 6.2. Also, as you can see, there is much humus in the soil which helps create a nutrient filled soil. #apesland @franklinlorax

@Ella_michalak29 @franklinlorax so cool!

@_linseytobin @franklinlorax so cool I didn’t know peat moss could help plants grow!

A lot of Franklin neighborhoods have only single-family housing, but, mine has four-family buildings, meaning it also has a higher housing density compared to other areas #apesland @franklinlorax

Fuel for our cars gets mined. This is my car and it needs crude oil and other petroleum liquids to run. Those liquids are mined most often from the ground. #apesland @franklinlorax

Succulents need to be in an area with a lot of sunlight in order to grow. They also are a type of plant that doesn’t need to be watered that often. A good pH level for a succulent is around 5.5! @franklinlorax #apesland

Eating more plant based foods allows for more people on earth to be fed. This is because photosynthetic food sources are on a lower trophic level... meat has 10 times less energy than plants #apespop @franklinlorax

I use a reusable water bottle to help reduce my ecological footprint. This is helpful because it reduces the amount of limited resources on this Earth that I use. #apespop #apespopulation @franklinlorax

As of 2023 2.9% of America’s population is made up of females ages 5-9. Bernadette falls under this category! #apespop @franklinlorax

@loraxella @franklinlorax I also use a reusable water bottle!

@cate_lorax_lee @franklinlorax carpooling is a great way to help out our environment!

In class we learned about our ecological footprints. If everyone lived like me we would need 4.4 earths. One way I can reduce my ecological footprint if by eating less animal based products #apespop @franklinlorax

This is my dog Finn! He is a K-strategist because his litter had very few offspring and his parents took care of him until he was 10 weeks old. @franklinlorax #apesecology

[ava.yank @ava_yank]

@AndreaH01950776 @franklinlorax I never realized that dogs could be k-strategists!

The pioneer species of lichen can be seen on trees in my yard, showing remnants of the beginning of the primary succession process. #apesecology @franklinlorax

[ava.yank @ava_yank]

@kassidy_apes @franklinlorax that’s pretty cool that you have a species of lichen in your yard

[ava.yank @ava_yank]

Wisconsin is apart of the temperate forest biome. We have forests with deciduous trees, some animals that we have are rabbits, deer, squirrels,hummingbirds etc. We also have 4 different seasons throughout the year. #apesecology @franklinlorax

@Savannahbehling @franklinlorax yes!! recycling our plastic water bottles is very important!!

[ava.yank @ava_yank]

@Madison2024APES @franklinlorax yes, i agree. reusable water bottles are the way to go!

[Savannah @Savannahbehling]

The water bottle could end up in the Great pacific garbage patch if not recycled. It could end up as a micro plastic and could contaminate the fish we catch and eat. Make sure to recycle the plastic water bottles you use! #apeswater @franklinlorax
