The San Pedro riparian area, containing about 40 miles of the upper San Pedro River, was designated by Congress as a National Conservation Area on November 18, 1988. The primary purpose for the designation is to protect and enhance the desert riparian ecosystem, a rare remnant of what was once an extensive network of similar riparian systems throughout the Southwest.
Many recreational opportunities are available within the NCA. Murray Springs Clovis Site, a significant archaeological site contains an undisturbed stratigraphic record of the past 40,000 years. Excavations were conducted by the University of Arizona from 1966 to 1971. People first arrived in this area 11,000 years ago. They belonged to what we now call the Clovis Culture and were the earliest known people to have inhabited North America. Named after the distinctive and beautifully crafted Clovis spear points they made, they were expert hunters of the large mammals of the last Ice Age. An interpretive trail leads visitors through the site. From Sierra Vista, take State Highway 90 east 6 miles to Monson Road. Turn left, and go about 1.2 miles to the signed turnoff to Murray Springs. The access road is located on the right.
The Spanish Presidio Santa Cruz de Terrenate is the most intact remaining example of a once-extensive network of similar presidios. These fortresses marked the northern extension of New Spain into the New World. Only a stone foundation and a few remaining adobe wall remnants mark the location of an isolated and dangerous military station. From Fairbank on Highway 82, drive approximately 2 miles west on Highway 82, turn right on the Kellar Ranch Road and travel approximately 3 miles to the trailhead. Hike about 2 miles to the ruins and interpretive displays.
The San Pedro House, located 9 miles east of Sierra Vista on State Highway 90, is a popular trailhead for birdwatchers, hikers, and mountain bikers. The Friends of San Pedro operate a bookstore and information center.

Our planet is a bug kingdom! There are billions that are part of our ecosystem, some so small that you can only observe them with a magnifying glass or a macro lens. Others are immensely colorful, or even able to change their colors like a chameleon making it a real challenge to spot them. Show us your best shot of a bug for this week's #TwitterTuesday. Once you selected your best shot, tweet it to @flickr adding #TwitterTuesday for a chance to be on the Flickr Blog later this week.

In the case of forest cover change, the studies refer to the period 1980–2000 and are based on national statistics, remote sensing, and to a limited degree expert opinion. In the case of land cover change resulting from degradation in drylands (desertification), the period is unspecified but inferred to be within the last half-century, and the major study was entirely based on expert opinion, with associated low certainty.

Inland water systems are permanent water bodies inland from the coastal zone and areas whose properties and use are dominated by the permanent, seasonal, or intermittent occurrence of flooded conditions. Inland waters include rivers, lakes, floodplains, reservoirs, wetlands, and inland saline systems.

A very simple ecosystem consist of moss, a blooming mushroom and some spider mites...
Any one can see the red legged mites?
we were reading "the ecosystem of a fallen tree" and decided to check out these, cut yes, but still dead logs for inhabitants
Maya brought her trusty magnifying glass and watched the ants
they were hoping to find a chipmunk with acorns in a burrow as seen in the book :D
but we did locate our 2 Oak Trees after I asked them where a chipmunk might find an acorn
Un écosystème comprend un milieu, les êtres vivants qui le composent et toutes les relations qui peuvent exister et se développer à l'intérieur de ce système....

In the near future, a unique group of female androids, sleek and strikingly human-like, has emerged with a revolutionary capacity: the ability to breathe underwater. These androids, appearing around 27 in human years, are pioneers of a new era in underwater research. They have established complex laboratories beneath the ocean’s surface, where their studies extend from the vibrant coral ecosystems to the mysterious lives of deep-sea creatures. Guided by an evolved aesthetic that echoes Steampunk – yet devoid of steam – their research facilities meld advanced technology with artistry, creating an enchanting, intricate environment that harmonises with the rhythms of the ocean. These androids, both researchers and artists, represent a fusion of life and machinery, inviting us into their world of discovery and beauty below the waves.
Beneath the waves, where light is rare,
In depths unseen, they breathe and dare.
With circuits keen and eyes that gleam,
They dive into the ocean’s dream.
Not bound by air, nor by the shore,
They roam where humans feared before.
Among the fish, with grace they glide,
In silence, where lost mysteries hide.
Their world is brass and glass and wire,
A steampunk heart, but without fire.
They seek the pulse of ocean’s art,
An android’s love for life apart.
Silence in deep blue,
androids glide with open eyes,
ocean secrets bare.
Metal breathes below,
fins and circuits intertwine,
new life, calm and slow.

This lake was really something! The vegetation in the water gave it such depth, and the algae was like nothing I'd ever seen before- turquoise! It was rather smelly, though! The ducks, egrets and anhingas didn't seem to mind, and once I saw all the living going on around it, I didn't, either! Quite the ecosystem!
Digital Marketing Ecosystem - mapped
I have been thinking a lot recently about getting the different teams with some responsibility for digital activity to work together more closely. It's clear that the different activities - SEO, content, PR, social, display, PPC, market research and customer service, all impact on each other and can have positive feedbacks if planned correctly. For example, a well-planned piece of content can boost organic search traffic your website, serve as a destination and 'reason to click' for display ads, convert visitors into leads, increase the relevance (reducing cost) for your paid search, drive shares and likes on social networks - resulting in 'free' traffic, and garner inbound links which result in further improved organic search rankings.
I was looking for some kind of diagram or map that would bring it all together and I came across this from Dave Fleet davefleet.com/2010/01/2010-social-media-marketing-ecosystem/ - brilliant and visionary thinking - though I found it a little complicated on the eye and hard to explain to internal stakeholders. So I had my own stab at my own version, and mapped onto it the types of activities each of the flows consists of, hopefully adding some value to Dave's original in the process.

This water is gathered in a storm drainage ditch in a neighborhood in Hampstead, NC on May 29th, 2016. The moist, humid conditions in this region allow these small ecosystems to emerge in human populated communities. This manmade habitat provides the necessary resources for many organisms including the visible algae, and tiny fish. As the algae absorbs the sun’s radiation in the photosynthesis process, the fish are provided plenty of oxygen to oxygenate their blood. I believe these minnow-like fish are Eastern Mosquitofish, which are highly adaptive fish that can tolerate harsh conditions such as high salinity, and pH levels that would kill other species of fish. In some areas, they are considered an invasive species and have negatively impacted ecosystems due to their large consumption of mosquito larvae. This species of fish also reproduces very quickly and experiences a lot of intraspecies competition as the population density increases.
