The levels are formed from tidal deposits and alluvium, which have been recurrently inundated and reclaimed from the Severn Estuary by humans since Roman times. They have been patterns of settlement, enclosure and drainage systems belonging to successive periods of use, and are extremely rich archaeologically, with finds from the Mesolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods.
La Défense is a business district built on several levels. This has been taken from the road level, which goes under the whole thing.

The grass is the first level on the food chain and it is a primary consumer. The fungus would be considered a secondary or tertiary consumer based on how many levels it takes to decompose an organism.
I think the most influential species of my location is the grass. It is the most abundant species on the site and many organisms rely on the grass for different things.The deer eat it as food, as well as insects and rabbits, and other species use it for shade and protection, such as snakes and frogs and fox. If the grass were removed from the habitat the space would be very open, there would be limited food supplies for many animals, and some species might have to move somewhere else if they couldn't adapt to the new environment. If an invasive species was put on the site it would probably choke out a lot on things. It might become overgrown on all the plant species near the water and they might die, or the invasive species might choke out the water supply if it gets too out of hand. The pond would fill in and animals would have to go somewhere else to find water. Three species from earlier would be the deer, frogs and cattails. The deer are herbivores and are limited by the food supply and the predators in the area. The frogs are predators and are limited by their food supply as a group. The cattails are a primary producer and are limited by available space, light and water.
Question: How is it that so many frogs can live in the area? Don't they crowd each other out? Would the site be better overall for species if more predators to frogs were brought in?
Cliffe Fort in Kent overlooks the entrance to the River Thames. Completed in 1870, construction was plagued with problems to do with the poor quality of ground, and the final design was smaller, housing ten guns in a mix of casemates and open barbettes as opposed to the planned thirteen. The fort could also accommodate up to 300 soldiers. Housing guns within casemates offered the greatest protection, and the casemates were granite faced and were fitted with iron shutters. A bank and ditch also protected the formidable fort on the exposed sea side.
Under the casemate level were two parallel tunnels, containing the usual features associated with ammunition storage.The lower levels are now badly flooded, while the upper levels and gun casemates are accessible.
By 1899 the fort was armed with two 12.5" RMLs (Rifled Muzzle Loaders), five 11" RMLs, two 4.7" guns or 6" guns in the open Battery, four 4 pdr QF (Quick Fire) guns in new concrete emplacements on the roof and a Brennan Torpedo launching station.
By the Second World War the forts role in coastal defence had diminished and it was primarily a heavy anti-aircraft battery, armed primarily with two 4" BL guns.
The fort was sold in the 1950's and has laid in a worsening state since then. Partly due to subsidence and the ingress of water.
When a state appears not to be taking resolute action to address serious issues, often of a systemic nature, the CPT's approach is to enhance its dialogue with that country. This often takes the form of high-level discussions, between the CPT and relevant government ministers, on how the recommendations formulated by the Committee can be properly implemented.
