The Hudson Plains Ecozone is a stretch of land along the Hudson Bay coast from Manitoba to Quebec. It is one of Canada's most popular wetlands due to its fascinating geographic and biological aspects. The climate is maritime with precipitation ranging from 400-800mm annually and average summer and winter temperatures of 11°C and -18°C respectively. The terrain is flat with 90% consisting of wetlands and bogs. The soil is covered in permafrost and ground ice, resulting in poor drainage. Flora includes tundra and boreal forest while fauna ranges from insects to large mammals and diversity is highest in summer. Recreational activities include camping, hunting, trapping and viewing the northern lights in winter.

Temperature – limiting factor new.pptx
Temperature – limiting factor new.pptxHiren ChaudhariTemperature is a major limiting factor for living organisms. It shows both temporal and spatial variations that affect distribution of plants and animals. Temperature decreases with increasing altitude and latitude, resulting in altitudinal zonation of vegetation belts and thermal stratification in both the atmosphere and aquatic ecosystems. Temperature influences various biological processes in living organisms, including their metabolism, reproduction, growth and development, morphology and geographical distribution. Organisms have also evolved various adaptations to survive in extreme temperature conditions.
Lepidoptera larvae
Lepidoptera larvaeAshleyisreallycoolThis document summarizes key information about Lepidoptera larvae, commonly known as caterpillars. It describes caterpillars as the larval stage of moths and butterflies, which undergo complete metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar to pupa to adult. The document outlines the scientific classification of caterpillars, identifies the main parts of their bodies, and describes their different stages of development. It also discusses caterpillars' appearance, defense mechanisms, economic impacts, and current areas of research.
Lepidoptera cgpbiolcgpEste documento describe la morfología de las lepidópteras, también conocidas como mariposas. Las lepidópteras son insectos holometábolos que pasan por etapas de huevo, larva, pupa y adulto. Con más de 165,000 especies, es el segundo orden más grande de insectos y algunas especies son plagas agrícolas importantes. El documento analiza la morfología externa, la cabeza, las antenas, las alas y las larvas de las mariposas.
Lepidoptera
Lepidopteracarle1pkmThe order Lepidoptera refers to moths and butterflies. Their name comes from Greek words meaning "scale" and "wing" due to the tiny scales covering their wings. Lepidoptera undergo a complete life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa and finally adult. As caterpillars, they eat plants and trees, but as adults they feed on nectar from flowers. Butterflies are distinguished from moths by their clubbed antennas and wing posture at rest. These insects play an important role in pollination but can also damage crops as caterpillars.

6 Physical regions of CanadaReid FreemanThe document summarizes the 6 major physical regions of Canada:
1. The Canadian Arctic is located within the Arctic Circle and has jagged mountains and flat snow covered terrain. Glaciers formed much of the landscape. The climate is harsh with below freezing winter temperatures and summer averages of 13°C. Polar bears are at risk of extinction due to shrinking Arctic ice.
2. The Interior Plains is located in western central Canada with hills, forests, and river valleys. It formed from sediments deposited in an ancient sea. It has short, cold winters and hot summers ideal for agriculture like wheat and cattle farming.
3. The Appalachian Highlands are located in northeast Canada with old

•Geology & Landforms: The North Creek Wetland is one of the largest and most complex floodplain restorations ever undertaken in the Pacific Northwest. It is a bold attempt to restore highly altered pastureland to a sustainable, functioning floodplain ecosystem within an urbanizing watershed. The project is unique in the degree to which fundamental theories of ecosystem and restoration ecology were utilized in the design and are being employed in the management of the site.
on a 127-acre site containing the floodplain of a moderate sized stream (North Creek) and a hillside created by glacial deposition over 15,000 years ago. North Creek is a salmon-bearing stream, containing viable populations of a number of salmon species despite being the central stream in one of the most rapidly urbanizing watersheds of the central Puget Sound region. The portion of North Creek that runs through the campus is just upstream from its junction with the Sammamish River near the north end of Lake Washington.Complex marsh; Mixed marsh-forest wetland environment. Very fine sands. There are floodplain vegetations to consist the forest. The main vegetations are western redcedar, black cottonwood, Douglas-fir, big leaf maple, and red alder.
•
Soils: The soils are complex, mixed with organic deposits (mucks, peats), lake sediments, marsh sediments, volcanic ash, and floodplain alluvium. These conditions were changed by the water level of Lake Washington. When the water level was at the highest position, there was an extremely large shallow, including the contemporary Lake Sammamish and Lake Washington.
Diatomaceous layers in the soil profile indicate standing water for long periods of time. However, it appears that most of the time, the site supported a complex marsh to mixed marsh-forested wetland environment. Historical floodplain sediments are mostly well-sorted medium to very fine sands. Lake and marsh environments accumulated organic soils, mostly mucks, and a variety of fine grained, mostly silt, mineral sediments. Peat deposits up to ten or more feet deep exist on northern portions of the restoration site.
•
Hydrology: Surface waterflowed into "Squawk Slough"Diatomaceous layers in the soil profile indicate standing water for long periods of time. The characteristics of hydrology were influenced by interaction of runoff from the North Creek watershed and the natural fluctuations in water levels of Lake Washington that affected the slough.

The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands have a humid continental climate due to the moderating effect of the Great Lakes.
