However, activities within the watersheds of these streams actually play the most critical role in determining stream water quality. http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/communications/publications/agmag/Archive/2006/Spring/Forest+Management+and+Stream+Organisms+Role+of+Trees+in+Aquatic+Food+Webs.htm LBenedict@agcenter.lsu.edu (Linda F.

The significant global warming has been attributed to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion and land use change, which leadto the increase of the concentrations of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/communications/publications/agmag/Archive/2006/Spring/The+Role+of+Louisianas+Forest+Ecosystems+in+Carbon+Sequestration.htm LBenedict@agcenter.lsu.edu (Linda F.

They are endangered species, and both require a habitat becoming rare inLouisiana and throughout the southern United States. To thrive, they need open pine forests, known as longleaf pine savannahs. http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/communications/publications/agmag/Archive/2006/Spring/Longleaf+Pine+Forests+Wildlife+of+Louisianas+Threatened+Grasslands.htm LBenedict@agcenter.lsu.edu (Linda F.
