Plants need fertilizer, water, and good soil with balanced pH levels. Plants also need to be provided with nutrients to stay alive. Plants provide us with many resources and benefits. @franklinlorax#apesland
This is my friend Kenna. She limits her ecological footprint by being vegetarian. Because of the use of one less tropic level, food shortage concerns would be alleviated if we all became vegetarian. #apespop@franklinlorax
I am very conscious about turning lights off when the room is not being used in my house. This helps reduce the amount of electricity I use as well as reduce my ecological footprint. @franklinlorax#apespopulation
These grapes are organic which means that there was no use of pesticides or GMO when growing it. Organic produce are usually smaller, healthier, and more expensive because it was grown naturally. @franklinlorax#apespopulation
I use a computer while doing my school work because it saves trees since we don’t have to use paper and it reduces my ecological footprint. #apespopulation@franklinlorax
My dog Charlie is a K-strategist species because dogs tend to only have a few offspring, receive care from their mothers, and have longer lifespans. @franklinlorax#apesecology
This is my dog Cal! Dogs are considered K-species because they have a litter with few offspring when born and are taken care of by their mothers #apesecology@franklinlorax
#apesecology@franklinlorax Humans are K-selected species meaning we're useless and need are parents to raise us until we're old enough to survive on our own. This nurturing of offspring is because humans don't tend to have huge numbers of offspring.
This is my brother Derek, he is a part of a k-selected species and is a k-strategist. He will be able to reproduce at a later age and has high parental care as he stays at home.

This is my doggo Lucky. He's considered a k-strategist as he was one of only 5 puppies in his litter, allowing them to be nurtured carefully by their mother. #apesecology
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
This is my dog Chloe. She is a K-Strategist because his liter had a really small amount of off spring. Chloe snd her siblings needed parental care until we could take her home. #apesecology@franklinlorax
