Mountain Landscape in Colorado
This is a photo overlooking a mountainous landscape. As you can see, it contains a man made hiking trail. The region contains many tall and skinny fir trees. Most of the fir trees roots are in the top 12-15 layers of soil. As we saw in class, the top 12-15 inches of topsoil in Colorado contain organic matter. The fertile soil makes these trees common and this region shows they are in abundance. The topography of the landscape also impacts plant life. The higher on the mountain I went on my hike, the less plants I saw due to nutrient runoff. The bottom of the mountain had very green grass and healthy soil rich in nutrients. The top of the mountain had less nutrients and the grass was a yellower tint.
