Tropical rainforests typically have more diversity of wildlife compared to temperate forests. The warm, humid climate and abundant vegetation in tropical rainforests support a wide variety of species, including numerous plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. In contrast, temperate forests, while still diverse, do not support as many species due to their seasonal climate and different ecological conditions. Consequently, tropical rainforests are often considered the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet.
What else can I help you with?
Is diversity good or bad?
In general, diversity would be desireable in a society or social setting. The group as a whole would benefit from having different skills, talents, opinions and points of view. Of course, the group has to be tolerant and willing to accept diversity; otherwise the diversity would cause conflict.
What will happen if omnivores are removed from the forest ecosystem?
The plants would grow too much, and it would become an overgrown forest, which could give bad animals more homes.
What is forestation?
Forestation is the process of planting trees in an area that previously did not have tree cover. This process helps to restore or create forests, which can provide environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, and soil protection. Forestation is often used as a strategy to combat deforestation and mitigate climate change.
Why are forest fires good for wetlands?
Forest fires can benefit wetlands by clearing out dense vegetation and allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor, promoting new growth and diversity. This can create more open space and support the regeneration of wetland ecosystems. Additionally, the ash left behind by the fire can provide important nutrients that help wetland plants thrive.
The negative and positive impacts on forest fire?
Negative: The CO2 in the trees is released, wildlife is killed, vegetation is lost.Positive: The ash acts as a fertiliser, some animals can hunt easier with the loss of trees as protection.
Would a monoculture forest have more wildlife than one with biodiversity?
No.
Why would a forest support more species of birds than a grassland?
Vertical habitat and diversity.
Is development more important then the need to save forest and wildlife?
Yes
Measures to conserve forest and wildlife?
The conservation of forest and wildlife is essential to sustain life on earth. Some methods of conservation are: plant more trees, stringent rules and heavy penalties for illegal cutters and poachers and raising awareness.
What are 3 variations you would observe as you travel south from a taiga into a temperate forest?
As you travel south from a taiga into a temperate forest, you would observe a transition in vegetation from coniferous trees, such as spruce and fir, to a mix of deciduous trees like oak, maple, and beech. The undergrowth would also change, with increased biodiversity and the presence of flowering plants and shrubs. Additionally, the climate would become milder and wetter, resulting in a longer growing season compared to the harsher, colder conditions of the taiga. Finally, wildlife diversity would increase, with more species of birds, mammals, and insects adapted to the temperate forest environment.
How have human activities accepted the wildlife in tropical rain forest?
I believe your question has less to do with 'accepted', and more to do with 'affected'.
How much does the forest products industry spend on conservation research?
From 1985 to 1995, forest product companies spent more than $100 million on wildlife and environmental research,
What is mixed forest?
A mixed forest is a type of forest that contains a variety of tree species rather than just one dominant type. This diversity of tree species can provide important ecological benefits, such as increased habitat for wildlife, improved resilience to pests and diseases, and a more stable ecosystem overall. Mixed forests are often found in regions where different tree species naturally coexist.
Does NZ have more native trees then Australia?
In terms of forest diversity, Australia has a greater latitudinal range, and will probably have a greater species variety. In addition, the forest in the Cape York Peninsula in the sub-tropics,will have a great diversity, as is typical for tropical forest. These are not species numbers, but the general direction should be sound. Sorry I can't do better.
What is the role of the forest service?
According to the U.S. Forest Service's website, the agency manages and protects national forests and grasslands with a mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of each. More information can be found on the Forest Service's website.
Disadvantage of diversity?
By definition, it is merely the constraints of obtaining more diversity that create the disadvantages/limitations. If we can obtain more diversity, we'd be 'more' better off is a universal principle behind diversity. The perfect scenario is that all have contributed in a diversity driven environment, which would produce the best idea/solution from the collaborate entity.
Why do tropical rain forests have more biological diversity than other on earth?
Tropical rain forests have more biological diversity than other places on earth because the conditions allow more organisms to live there. The rain forest gives many organisms suitable homes.
