MO Prof. Carranza CAS 355 12/14/09 The Effect of Globalization in Guatemala’s Biodiversity Guatemala is a country territorially small, but with a unique natural and cultural in the world. It’s condition as the linkage between two continental spheres, also with the variety of terrestrial and edaphic (physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the land) forms, the amplitude altitudinal, pluvial and thermal, between some other factors, are responsible of the existence of a great variety of ecosystems and of species. Also, Guatemala is one of the countries around the world with a big ethnic diversity. This natural and ethnic diversity have generated many ways of interaction and use of the wild species, as to an intense domestic adaptation that has become an important support for the diet of Guatemalans and of many habitants of many other countries. Guatemala has being denominated Mesoamerican Center, is one of eight important world centers of cultivated plants.
Savannas have warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer). The tropical savanna is generally found in regions dominated by the wet-dry tropical climate such as Australia, and Africa. An extensive cover of tall grasses, sometimes reaching a height of 3 meters, is found in the tropical savanna. Most savanna grass is coarse and grows in tufts with intervening patches of bare ground.
Answer is: tree stratum, small tree or sapling layer, shrub layer, herb layer, ground layer 7. Another name for a coniferous forest is “Taiga”, what language does this come from? Answer is: the Russian name for the forest 8. What are the four different “zones” of the marine biome? Answer is: intertidal zone, pelagic zone, benthic zone, abyssal 9.
College Woods 1. The main purpose of this exercise is to see if College Woods Natural Area is experiencing succession, and to observe and document the tree community structure. Other purposes of this exercise are to examine College Woods and measure the densities of different species of trees as well as diameters of stems, and use these measurements to determine if the varying measurements lead to varying information about this tree community. Another purpose is to determine all species present, as well as the abundance of each species. We will also analyze the size structures of the trees to predict future change in College Woods Natural Area.
Hence, they were all easily accessible by the concrete path and were set apart from each other substantially, in the contemplation of recovering any variations in the statistics obtained. History predicates that the ideal landscape of Brimbank Park, such as fertile soils and optimal location of the Maribyrnong River catered well to the different civilizations that were appealed by it. The most acclaimed culturally significant ‘Scar Tree’ is a remnant of the
I am going to discuss some of the major features of the Tropical Rain Forest biomes. They are wet, warm, and also high levels of biodiversity. The tropical rain forest is divided into four different layers, and these layers are forest floor, the understory layer, the canopy layer, and the emergent layer. What changes happening in Madagascar are posing challenges for lemurs? Give details about the sources, time scale, and types of change.
Three Colonial Regions In North America there were three colonial regions that appeared in different geographical areas; the New England, Southern, and Middle colonies. Although these colonies were all founded by the English, different agricultural and industrial opportunities led to a distinctive economy and lifestyle. Because the three colonial regions were in different areas the climate varied depending on where they were located. New England consisted of four colonies which included; New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. There were five colonies in the southern region that consisted of North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia.
“How am I to describe the coast of Campania. A fertile region so blessed with the pleasant scenery that it was manifestly the work of nature in happy mood? The indeed there is that wonderful and life-sustaining and healthy atmosphere that lasts all the year through. Embracing a climate so mil. Plains so fertile.
c. in both temperate and tropical rain forests, trees obtain nutrients by extending roots into epiphyte mats. d. all of the choices apply. e. both the epiphyte mass in temperate rain forests may be four times the mass of leaves on their host tree and, in both temperate and tropical rain forests, trees obtain nutrients by extending roots into epiphyte mats. 0 19. Darwin is often considered the father of evolutionary thought.
5. The soil which is light, well aerated and rather dry is clayey soil. 6. In deserts, soil erosion occurs through wind. 7.
