Site Plan of Eureka River


I: Eureka Building
II: Hamzah Sendut II Library
III & IV: Water Treatment

A: Swallow bird area
B: Grasshopper area
C: Cak rumah area
D: Dendang selayang area
E: Raja udang area
F: Moth area
G: Tiung family area
H: Dragonfly area
J: Biawak area

 
SITE PLAN

This plan shows the spread of each animal and some big species of the plants around it. More details about the species of this site already described before.
We add a bigger bridge to cross from eureka to library so that people who cross this bridge can stop and enjoy the scenery of this area.

Pyramid relationship

I: Producers
II: Level I Consumers
III: Level II Consumers

FOOD PYRAMID
Ecosystem happens due to food chain cycle or food pyramid. Producer will always be at the bottom even though there’s still the composer work to produce food for these producers. In this matter, the producers are grass on the land and algae in the water. They will act as the provider of food for the level I consumers which are herbivores. The level I consumers in this matter are fishes, moths, grasshoppers, and birds. In this state, the level I consumer will be attracted or pulled to this area. It’s either for a transit or as a feeding area.
Level II consumer usually are carnivores, in this matter is the birds such as raja udang, dendang selayang, etc. These birds will come here to look for food such as fishes, insects, etc, or just to rest as a transit area for further trip.

Pokok Mambu ( Azadirachta indica )




 Azadirachta indica (Mambu) is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae. They have two species in the genus Azadirachta, growing in tropical and semi-tropical regions. Mambu is a fast-growing tree that can reach a height of 15–20 m (about 50–65 feet), rarely to 35–40 m (115–131 feet). It is evergreen, but in severe drought it may shed most or nearly all of its leaves. The branches are wide spread. The fairly dense crown is roundish or oval and may reach the diameter of 15–20 m in old, free-standing specimens.

Habitat

The Mambu tree is noted for its drought resistance. Normally it thrives in areas with sub-arid to sub-humid conditions, with an annual rainfall between 400 and 1200 mm. It can grow in regions with an annual rainfall below 400 mm, but in such cases it depends largely on ground water levels. Mambu can grow in many different types of soil, but it thrives best on well drained deep and sandy soils. It is a typical tropical to subtropical tree and exists at annual mean temperatures between 21-32 °C. It can tolerate high to very high temperatures and does not tolerate temperature below 4 °C . Mambu is a life-giving tree, especially for the dry coastal, southern districts of India. It is one of the very few shade-giving trees that thrive in the drought-prone areas. The trees are not at all delicate about the water quality and thrive on the merest trickle of water, whatever the quality. In India it is very common to see Mambu trees used for shade lining the streets or in most people's back yards. In very dry areas the trees are planted in large tracts of land.

Skyflower ( Duranta erecta )

Duranta erecta is a species of flowering shrub in the verbena family, Verbenaceae, that is native to Central and South America and the Caribbean. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical gardens throughout the world, and has become naturalized in many places. It is considered an invasive species in Australia, China, South Africa and on several Pacific Islands. Common names include Golden Dewdrop, Pigeon Berry, Skyflower and Aussie Gold.

Habitat

In its natural state, it commonly grows in rocky or sandy coastal areas with full sun, or moister, disturbed sites inland. Prior to maturity, the plant will grow at a rate of half a meter per year.

Kulat kaki seribu ( Trigoniulus corallines )

Kulat Kaki seribu ( Trigoniulus corallines ) is a species of millipede native to the area around Thailand and Myanmar. It is also found in North America, as an introduced species.
HABITAT: Millipedes have caused some problems  in the summer and fall. Areas around houses that provide these conditions include piles of grass clippings, a wooded lot close to the house, excessive mulch around the house, and similar locations. Protected moist areas, under logs and stones, and in greenhouses. 

LIFE CYCLE: They lay eggs in the spring and populations build up during the summer. Under good conditions (adequate food and habitat), populations can become very large. Then changes in the habitat (excessive moisture, lack of food, too little moisture) cause the population to disperse.
