There is no real 0domination of one particular species in the Rain Forest and the Trees are typical evergreen trees. Today Madagascar is home to nearly 60 lemurs. Some other types of changes would be the climate change, hunters, and deforestation. I think their biggest threat is that of deforestation on the island. This is a great loss to their habitat Which types of lemurs are adapting to the changes?
The taiga, is prone to small wildfires because the trees have adapted to the climate and have thick bark which is protective against damaging wildfires. The taiga has fewer plants and animals then most other biomes. Taiga means “dense evergreen forest” in Russian. The taiga is the largest biome on land. WILDLIFE IN THE TAIGA: The taiga holds many endangered species including the grizzly bear, the Siberian crane, the wood bison, the Siberian tiger and the beaver.
With the drought and dust flying through the sky, the Southern Plains was turning into a wasteland. Each year the national weather bureau reported a growth in the number of dust storms. The government, with the help of President Roosevelt, passed a group of bills that helped relieve the poverty. Even though this did not cure the Dust Bowl, it allowed the American people to take care of basic needs and a light of hope during trying times. The President requested that 200 million trees be planted from Texas to Canada.
In monsoonal areas, there is a real dry season. Almost all rain forests lie near the equator. Typical Flora Types of plants in the rainforest include , Bromeliads , Lianas , Orchids , Strangler Fig , Stilt/Prop Roots , Carnivorous Plants , Bamboo , Coconut Tree , Mangora , Tulan , Jambu and many more. Typical Fauna There are many types of animals in the rainforest for example , Elephant , Tiger , Chimpanzee , Bat , Lion , Eagle , Dove , Cobra , Orangutan , Monkey , Rhinoceros and Pit Viper. Ecological Concerns There is a lot of deforestation, as people cut down the trees to make paper, get wood and other stuff.
Our Planet is doomed to Extinction Norman Myers wrote this shocking article “Tropical Forests and their Species” to inform people of what is happening to our planet. Our planet is doomed to extinction because the human race is thinking only of economic benefits. Draining, bulldozing and paving the land for housing complexes, roads and malls all destroy wildlife habitat. In “Tropical Forests and their species” Myers stated, “Of all species that have ever existed, possibly half a billion or more, there now remain only a few million. But the natural background rate of extinction during the past 600 million years, the period of major life, has been on the order of only one species every year or so.
McKendree University is on track for an eco-friendly campus and community. While still raising awareness to students about recycling and different way of recycling, we must include our buildings to raise awareness. For future study we should conduct student opinions on our campus movement in going green. McKendree should provide students with information on savings and expense differences. These expenses will show students the amount of money saved if students go green.
The only thing missing were all the little arthropods. The tree didn’t grow. He added a single millipede and the nutrient content of the soil increased NINEFOLD! MANAGEMENT Yi and Moldenke evaluated the effect of four different forest management techniques, unthinned control and three thinning intensities (light, light with gaps, and heavy thin), on arthropod abundance, diversity, and community structure as an indicator of ecological processes affecting other forest fauna. Arthropod abundance and diversity was higher in heavy and light/gap
Temperatures in the forests range from 30 to –65 degrees Fahrenheit; the amount of sunlight that the forests receive depends on what time of year it is. During the winter Boreal Forests get only a few hours of sun while in the summer they can receive up to 20 hrs of sunlight. Depending on the year the forest can acquire between 20 to 200 cm of precipitation, mostly in snow. The Boreal forest floors are usually muddy and swampy due to melted snow. Due to the fact that Boreal forest have acidic soil because of fallen conifer needles that accumulate on the forest floor, the amount of plants that can grow are limited.
Soils of this region had always been prone to dust storms in the past, but during the drought of the 1930’s they became far more vulnerable. Farmers had removed millions of acres of the natural grass sod to plant wheat during the previous twenty years. When the wheat failed to grow as the decade-long drought arrived in 1931, the soils were left exposed to the strong winds that annually sweep across the region. Millions of tons of blinding black dust would sweep across the Plains, turning plowed fields into sand dunes. There were a reported fourteen storms in 1932.
Lyric L. Hollar Professor Moore English 1301 April 10, 2014 Lungs Killed- Readers Respond 6 World Wildlife Federation Earth organization provides a picture of a large green field filled with living trees. The shape in the middle of the field looks like a pair of lungs with one side shown as big trees still standing and the other side filled with dirt and trees being cut down. This shows the world that tearing down our trees can hurt our lungs because the lack of oxygen being produced. This picture is telling the earth to recycle more paper used products so that workers do not need to cut down more trees on this planet. If you save the trees then you save millions of human lives.
