Yellowstone National Park is a Biosphere Reserve home to phenomena of a supervolcano as well as many plant and animal life that is currently being protected by the National Park Service, an agency of the United States Department of the Interior. One of the many protected plants is the Eriogonum umbellatum var. Cladophorum, or better known as the Yellowstone Sulphur Flower.
Although several types of sulphur buckwheat live in the park, the Yellowstone Sulphur flower only resides in the Firehole River drainage. This flower is yellow in color with hairy, gray leaves. NPS (2017) found that the flower has adapted to life in barren areas, causing it to only live in the drainage. They also found that this flower is even capable of changing distributed
From what I had learned, Yellowstone National Park was the first national park ever to be established in the world. It had over 3,500 square miles of beautiful scenery and wildlife. The park itself was mostly located in Wyoming, however, less than 5% was located in Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone has been a park since March 1st, 1872, and since then there have been hundreds of thousands of tourists that go there each year to see the amazing things it has to offer. Old Faithful, one of Yellowstone's main attractions, is a
“The human history of the Yellowstone region goes back more than 11,000 years. From then until to the very recent past, many groups of Native Americans used the park as their homes, hunting grounds, and transportation routes. These traditional uses of Yellowstone lands continued until a little over 200 years ago when the first people of European descent found their way into the park. In 1872 a country that had not yet seen its first centennial, established Yellowstone as the first national park in the world. A new concept was born and with it a new way for people to preserve and protect
Yellowstone National Park is located mostly in Wyoming but spreads into Idaho and Montana. Yellowstone national park has a Taiga biome. Taiga is the largest terrestrial biome in the world. It is primarily coniferous forest or boreal forest. The North American Taiga is at high elevations, in the mountainous western region. Within this park, there are various species of consumers, producers, prey, and predators. One very important species is the gray wolves. The gray wolves are one of the keystone species in Yellowstone National Park. A keystone species is a species that has a large effect on a community relative to the abundance of the species. This means that as the gray wolf population increases or decreases in this area, it will have some drastic effects on the entire community.

This article talked about the Texas Sage. The Texas Sage is a plant that survives in hot dry climate. It is considered the most popular plant in Texas. This plant has some multiple names including Purple Sage, and “Barometer Plant”. This plant is non- noticeable a long period of times. However, the purple Sage bring out the purple color at least for a few days. Compared to most plants, the Texas Sage blooms in high temperature climate and before or after rainy days. Aside from the Texas Stage, there is also the Green Sage. This plant grows a little taller than the Sage. Surprisingly these plants do not really need a lot of watering or fertilizing to shine their beautiful colors.
The Yellowstone volcano is very active volcanic system which requires much observation. The geysers, mudd pots, hotsprings and steam vents are all examples of the heat from molten rock of a volcano. For many years the Yellowstone volcano could not be located. There is not obvious signs of a volcano, but scientists looked for other clues. Rhyolite is present in a location that has pinetress and many mosquitoes can be found due to the lakes that have formed. Rhyolite is a very violent eruption, due to the high silica content, it flows slowly, like honey, and tends to pile up and form lava
For many years, undocumented families have worried about getting deported, their kids not being able to have a higher education or not being able to have jobs. It soon all changed when President Barack Obama, our 44th president, created a program named “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).”
They try not to interfere with the natural ecosystem but sometimes they have to use resource management to protect the park’s resources. For example, there are not many natural predators to control the animal populations of the bison, elk, and horses. They have to manage the animal population by decreasing it using roundups and other methods. It’s interesting that when Roosevelt was president, he established the United States Forest Service and the Federal Land Management Agency to protect lands.
Yellowstone National Park was established as the country's first national park in 1872. Its nearly 3,500 square miles of area contain massive amounts of geothermal activity and is home to a variety of wildlife.
Yellowstone became a national park in 1872, it is a proud monument to America’s wilderness and an incredibly vast park, over 3,500 miles. This park was once characterized by the Grey Wolf whom presided over it. Now, as you and I understand National parks are protected from hunting, fishing, forestry and other man made interferences in mother nature’s design. When Yellowstone was established officially there was no legislation preventing the hunting of the pack predator, so in the way humans tend to, the wolf was over hunted and made locally extinct in the 1930’s. At the time there was no evident reason for the protection of wolves, in fact they were a menace to American
Yellowstone National Park is one of the largest and oldest national parks in American history. Yellowstone was the first park to be protected by private investment on March 1, 1872, and the first to be put under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service in 1918, no doubt due to its unique and inspiring landscape and geothermal features. In fact, Yellowstone National Park is home to half of the world’s total hydrothermal features. These awesome attractions draw an incredible amount of visitors, an average of two to three million each year, to Yellowstone’s immense landscape. The park has a total size of 28,125 square miles, is found in three distinct states, and is considered to be one of the largest
Lava flows of rhyolite and basalt have flowed through parts of Yellowstone as recently as 70,000 years ago. These lava flows destroyed everything in their paths while moving slowly at a rate of a few hundred feet per day, flowing months, or sometimes even several years. They are thick and cover as much as 130 square miles. They have nearly filled the Yellowstone Caldera, and spilled beyond the caldera’s border. These lava flows are responsible for forming four of the nine named plateaus in
Yellowstone National Park, untamed wild beauty. Stunning landscapes, beautiful waterfalls and rivers, breathtaking wildlife, and geothermal activity all come together to make Yellowstone an amazing place. People come from all over the world to witness the beauty of Yellowstone. It is a regulated national park for a reason, it is so amazing, so beautiful, so spectacular to not preserve it. It hosts bison, elk, deer, bald eagles, bears, moose, beavers, and amazing trout rivers, everything a perfect mountain ecosystem should hold. However now there is something else, something that is natural, was removed but has now returned, flourishing and benefiting its surroundings. Wolves, have been reintroduced into Yellowstone and have greatly benefited the area. These wolves have started a positive and beneficial renewal in the park. The reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park is beneficial because they created and natural and beneficial trophic cascade, other animals in the park benefited from the wolves, and because the land was able to regrow and flourish due to the wolves’ presence.

Do the means really justify the ends when it comes to nuclear energy? Nuclear accidents are inevitable, and radioactive contamination is the outcome. Since 1945 there has been seven major nuclear accidents which were Chalk river, Sellafield, Kyshtym, Lucens, Three mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima in 2015. Since these horrible disasters many humans have been permanently affected. “The lives of approximately 42 million people have been permanently affected by radioactive contamination caused by the accidents in the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants.”
