The farther I moved down the taxonomy levels it becomes harder because at the top the classifications in the domain or kingdom are very broad. The farther you move down the more specific and detailed the classifications get. Also, there are many different groupings from the family classification to the subspecies classification which makes it harder for one to classify because of the about of precision you need to classify and put an organism into which ever group it goes into.
Land development creates impervious surfaces through construction of roads, parking lots, and other structures. Impervious surfaces:
Contribute to nonpoint source water pollution by limiting the capacity of soils to filter runoff.
Affect peak flow and water volume, which heighten erosion potential and affect habitat and water quality.
Increase storm water runoff, which can deliver more pollutants to water bodies that residents may rely on for drinking and recreation.1 Storm runoff from urban and suburban areas contains dirt, oils from road surfaces, nutrients from fertilizers, and various toxic compounds.
