I believe that the greatest change in the century between De Soto’s death and La Salle’s exploration was the ecosystem changes that impacted the environment greatly. After De Soto died in 1542, the Spanish ended up abandoning the Mississippi river. When La Salle and the Europeans arrived to the same area in 1680, there was absolutely nothing left. The many villages that were once talked about by De Soto appeared to not exist anymore. The Indian population that was high during the time of De Soto, had declined to the point where there was only a few left. As a result, the Europeans were confused at the change that had occurred. As stated in the book, “The impact of European contact altered the ecological dynamics”. The environment had adjusted

How does the vegetation surface type affect the amount of runoff? Speculate why this happens.
Hurricanes have been an important trigger to accelerate erosion in the area. From 1970, at least 7 hurricanes have hit the coast, weakening it and making its beaches prone to erode. Nonetheless, tourism as it was explained has been the main factor of the fast pace of erosion seen in the area. Currently Cancun has about 30 000 hotel rooms and a steady growing number of high-rise condominiums (SEDETUR, 2014). Prior to the development, beaches were able to recover themselves up to a certain point due to the presence of sand dunes and other factors such as the vegetation and the natural breaching that existed in the area. The result of human activities such as the construction of hotels on top of dunes, affect natural regeneration processes; the

The heat of the sun blazes through the multi-stemmed crape myrtle tree while it stands on moist soil. The surface is slightly uneven and bumpy from the roots of the tree. Soft blades of short grass scatter between the soil with weeds and the petite, fragrant flowers. The sunlight beams each narrow turf, bathing it with heat. Lush, green grass gleams in the light, showing different hues of yellow and green. At the edge of the surface, a mound of red dirt formed by ants. Small pebble like shapes of dirt form on top of one another. Black ants quickly move in and out of the mound. The sky is pale blue. White, fluffy sunlit clouds float against the clear sky. The crape myrtle tree sways gently in the breeze while sweet aromas fill the crisp air.
