Discuss the relative importance of physical and human factors in accounting for the changes to vegetation over time within ecosystems in the British Isles. With a temperate climate in the Northern Hemisphere, the British Isles bears a variety of trees and successions of plants, including deciduous trees. The main ecosystem of the country is made up from forest and lake biomes alongside heathlands and moorlands such as heather moorland. The changes to the vegetation over time can be affected by both physical and human factors which in some cases occur together or in causation of one another. Physical changes include; changes in climate, succession, disease and natural disasters.
They used the environment as a survival key. Hunting was a main interaction the Bunarong clan had the environment, it provided them with
These are not the only reasons the Niagara escarpment is important to Southern Ontario but it is also very important to the Southern Ontario’s economy too. The Niagara Escarpment is an area rich in both renewable and non-renewable resources such as mines and energy. These resources are there because of natural processes that have taken place over millions of years to become of great importance to Ontario’s society and economy. Development of these resources can have serious problems to the environment, cities and farmers, if reserved and used sustainably so it is important to protect the natural escarpment. In conclusion, Niagara Escarpment is very important to Southern Ontario because of all the resources, recreational activities and the biodiversity it has to
The Olmec, was a strong civilization because of it’s plant diversity and fishing. Then the over-production of manioc and other crops led to craft specialization and social stratification. They would spend many years on artistry and
Senior Geography Project by Lachlan Sprott Sustainable Agriculture- Cudgen NSW Abstract The following report will examine sustainable agriculture in the area of Cudgen. I will be Focussing on the Cudgen soil conservation project, Compost trials, soil, the Cudgen erosion project, and organic farming. I have researched on the internet and also by talking to local farmers and land care groups. Introduction Agriculture is the main land use in Cudgen, it puts many impacts on the area, socially, economically, and environmentally, all these pressures are putting viability on agriculture in Cudgen. However there are ways we can solve these problems by following sustainable agriculture strategies.
cultural patronage is seen as a real economic investment that brings some kind of social benefit. One of the best example of patronage in history is the building of cathedrals, we can see the support or some forms of patronage via the privates art associations , school and social media. 3. What possible uses and meanings did prehistoric artists have for creating Paleolithic and Neolithic human figurines? The development of human figurines during Paleolithic times was profoundly affected by environmental factors.
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,
Easier access for predators could also affect species survival. Therefore, both the benefits and the risks that can result from corridors should be carefully examined during planning. Restoration This is a process whereby actions are taken to counter conditions in an altered community or ecosystem and return that area to a state as close as possible to its natural form. This may require extensive alterations including rebuilding the soil profile, land contouring, plantings, removal of domestic or feral species, and temporary exclusion of wildlife species, if feasible. Essential development components include mimicking historic soil, drainage, and foliage characteristics.
Those values are compassion, charity, justice, fairness, duties and rights, human species survival and human well-being. “Environmental values bring together contributions from philosophy, economists, politics, sociology, geography, anthropology, ecology and other disciplines, which relate to the present and the future environment of human beings and other species” (Oppapers.com, 2007). Finding a way to fix the growing problems of the ozone layer, deforestation, and the degeneration of our ecosystems as a whole can be looked at in three different approaches: ecofeminism,
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.
