Abstract:
Stretching from the mountains to the coast, the state contains a diversity of wildlife and habitat. This includes the American alligator, the Southern flying squirrel, and elk herds. Brotak states that analyzing the climate of a particular region requires a close look at temperature and precipitation. \"These two elements to a large extent control the type of vegetation found in an area and therefore also determine the wildlife found there.\" The article includes maps showing normal precipitation and normal mean temperatures from 1971-2000.

In North Carolina and across the nation, water supplies are in fast decline due to contaminated supplies, inefficient irrigation practices, and polluted groundwater.
