PPT-Subsistence Foraging and Horticulture

Learning Objectives Subsistence Unit 1 Identify the subsistence patterns found in human societies 2 Identify the cultural characteristics of a society that might be inferred from knowing the societys subsistence patterns. John Rudolph. Winter Field Ecology, Spring 2010. Mountain Research Station, University of Colorado at Boulder. Species in Flock. Introduction. How do birds that flock together in the winter forage in a group without competing with each other for food?. July 17,2013. Presentation by .

Subsistence:. Types of Subsistence Strategies. Food Collectors. Food Producers. Horticulturalists. Pastoralists. Intensive (and mechanized) . agricultualists. Variation of Food-Getting . PROCEDUREPrevious studies suggest that when food is approximately evenly dispersed in anenvironment, solitary foraging yields a higher energy return per unit time (or less time toacquire a set amount optimal foraging predictions Kathryn M.

Question: Is there any patterns . of group size and foraging attempts made by vultures and crows. . Also, is the . amount of time the birds spent foraging and walking . What would you do if you could not afford food?. Agriculture (farming). Defined as the . growing of crops and raising of livestock. Prior to farming, how did people get food?. Hunting and gathering. Two Types of Agriculture. Horticulture. comes from the Latin words . hortus. which means “garden” and . colere. . which means . “to cultivate” – cultivation or culture of a garden. With time, the term horticulture has acquired a broader meaning, for instance, when we talk about horticulture we are referring to the production and use of plants for food, beauty and other benefits for society. importance. propagation . methods – (cutting, layering and grafting . techniques). gardening . and . landscaping. irrigation . methods, manures, lawns, indoor plants, bonsai techniques..
