The tropical rainforest biome occupies the area 100 North and South of the equator, where the yearly insolation and precipitation is abundantly high. These conditions provide optimum growing conditions for the flora that thrive in this region. Precipitation is the chief determinant of the overall type of vegetation and thus ecosystem development, however soil nutrients is the main limiting factor to the growth for such tropical vegetation. The climate of this biome is characteristically hot and humid, with an unwavering constant yearly temperature of 270C that rarely exceeds 320C. Despite this, the diurnal temperature can vary as much as 10-150C due to the waxing and waning cloud cover throughout the day.
Also, it is said, that the pine tree is an emblem of longevity and is cultivated for its ornamental and utilitarian purposes; like christmas. When the pin tree turns a thousand years old it is said the sap will turn into amber. A really rare pin tree can only be found in China, it is called the white
As a result of these natural obstacles, China relied on the trade between China, India, and Central Asia for jade, ivory and pearl which was very useful. On the other hand, there were the yellow and Yangzi Rivers to the east. This allowed for great agricultural success. In the north was dry, cold climates which called for technological, political, philosophical, and religious advances, was later abandoned for the warm, lush southern land. Over the years, yellowish- brown deposits made the soil manageable and so large
French explorers had already encountered the Osage using the wood of the tree to make longbows and various other weapons. Indeed, its wood is still quite valuable due to its density, which makes it suitable for everything from fence posts to artistic woodcarving. In addition, the bodark is renowned for its suitability in making natural fences, hedgerows, or windbreaks, and many farmers planted rows of trees for just such purposes; too,
The first and probably most obvious similarity is that they are both fruits, and quite popular fruits at that. Both apples and oranges are tasty and are good sources of vitamin C. The FDA recognizes apples and oranges as a full serving of fruit on the food pyramid. Another similarity between these is that they both grow on trees and are generally a round spherical shape with seeds in the center. They are both often packed in lunches or as snacks because they are easy to handle and can last a long time in a refrigerator before going bad. In contrast, apples are usually red or green, and oranges are surprisingly an orange color.
But some were able to tolerate the extreme conditions and helped to pave the way for new colonizers. Winds brought light seeds and insects to the area, enabling them to enter the area and become established. Plants and insects attracted birds, deer, and elk from nearby areas. Heavier seeds “hitchhiked” on the feathers of birds and in elk droppings. Ponds and springs created by the eruption became the centers of life for survivors and colonizers.
It grows very well in forest-like environments similar to that of Asia, It enjoys very high summer temperature and loves a lot of rain. However, Kudzu adapts to its environment in areas like pastures, rail embarkments, inland water banks, all areas whether it is natural or semi-natural habitat. Kudzu does not like cold weather. This is probably the reason why the northern states within the USA do not have Kudzu. It can survive frosted soil and is partial to loose soil, but adapts in otherwise less favorable conditions.
However, not all effects are negative. Forest fires play an important role in keeping our forests healthy and ecosystem in balance. Fire clears wild lands of heavy brush, leaving room for new grasses, herbs and regenerated shrubs that pro¬vide food and habitat for many wildlife species. With fewer plants absorbing water, streams are fuller, benefiting other types of plants and animals. Over the past 50 years forest managers have developed a policy of either preventing or putting forest fires out quickly.
The process to create the paper does not involve releasing harmful toxins like tree paper processing does. The largest benefit of using hemp as paper is the fact that hemp can harvest in just four months after being planted. Trees can take tens to hundreds of years to be ready for harvest. The fact that deforestation due to tree paper processing destroys the habitats for thousands of animals also must be taken into consideration and adds to the list of reasons why hemp needs to be grown in the U.S. In addition to the use of hemp as paper, an equally valuable and environmentally friendly use of hemp is as a source of
Overgrazing- with less rain fall than normal, animals graze and consume more vegetation that what is being produced. This results in the land becoming barren because there are not enough nutrients to support vegetative growth. Overgrazing can lead to soil erosion and desertification on the land. To reduce these practices people can be more responsible be following a grazing management schedule. Some grasses grow well during the summer and some grow well during the cooler months.
