Deforestation and Habitat Loss

Large dams are not eco-friendly because they block the path of native fish trying to swim upstream to breed and dump many litres of cold waterinto the water, which changes the temperature and discourages native fish to breed.

On a fundamental level, an organism must: 1. Be able to obtain metabolize something (or things) in its environment to produce energy for itself. For example, humans must exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in our lungs, drink water, and eat food. 2. Stay alive long enough to reproduce These two needs manifest themselves in many different ways seen in the diversity of plant and animal life on earth. Out of these needs predator-prey relationships develop, as do what we identify as ecosystems.

Hurricanes, also known as typhoons, are among natures most catastrophic storms. A major point of contention in the scientific community and government regard the role of human emissions to climate change. It is suspected that changing climates are resulting in stronger storms.

Some solutions to deforestation include enforcing stricter regulations on logging and land clearing, promoting sustainable forestry practices, establishing protected areas and reforestation projects, and supporting initiatives that promote forest conservation and restoration. Collaboration between governments, businesses, and communities is essential to address the root causes of deforestation effectively.

Deforestation is the process of clearing or destroying forests for agriculture, logging, or urban development, resulting in the reduction of forest area and loss of biodiversity. It is a significant environmental issue with consequences for climate change, ecosystems, and wildlife habitats.

Illegal logging leads to deforestation, habitat destruction, disruption of ecosystems, and loss of biodiversity. It also contributes to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Additionally, it undermines sustainable forest management practices and can lead to social conflicts over land and resources.

The forests produce oxygen and absorb CO2 establishing a certain balance in the renewal of the atmosphere and in the reduction of gases. Forest also have an important role in the evaporation processes that contribute to global climate. In both ways, the role of forest is of high importance in the balance of global climate and in the conclusions of the World Meteorological Organization, the gradual dissapearance of dense vegetation can be considered as one of the causes for accelerated changes in global climate.

This is a tough question to answer simply because many rainforest animals are critically endangered. Among these the Mountain Gorilla is certainly one of the most critically endangered species with approximately 790 individuals existing world wide. Other well known endangered species include orangutans, toucans, golden lion tamarin monkeys, ringtailed lemurs and of course many more. Please see the related links for more near threatened, threatened, endangered and critically endangered species.

A tropical rainforest is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, such as lush vegetation, exotic birds, colorful insects, monkeys, sloths, and big cats. The rainforest also features a variety of ecosystems and is known for its dense canopy, high humidity, and abundant rainfall.

The major contributor to Earth's albedo is clouds. Cloud cover reflects sunlight back into space, which helps to cool the planet by reducing the amount of solar radiation that is absorbed by the Earth's surface.

There are three main rainforest regions in the world: the Amazon Rainforest in South America, the Congo Rainforest in Africa, and the Southeast Asian Rainforest. These regions are further divided into smaller rainforest areas.

Well, the usage of shrubland for growing grain and commercial crops is very widespread.

This, in turn, drastically decreases animals' populations (no more homes to live in), and kills many of the evergreen shrubs naturally found in the temperate shrublands.

Yes, water temperature, sunlight, and soil are all abiotic factors in a rainforest ecosystem. Water temperature influences the overall aquatic ecosystem, sunlight determines the availability of energy for photosynthesis and plant growth, and soil quality affects nutrient availability and plant growth.

The cycling of ain elements/substances such as C, N, O, S, P, and water in an ecosystem and ultimately in biosphere is known as biogeochemical cycle. The transfer and circulation of these substances takes place through soil, water, air and living organisms

Trees absorb CO2 so there will be more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which will contribute to global warming. It will also kill animals as trees are a natural habitat for many animals.

If you cut down trees then you have less oxygen producers. If you take out the stumps then you can cause a mud slide.

Cutting trees will lead to less rain on earth and increase the temperature of the earth thus leading to the melting of ice and decreasing the land.

Cutting down trees (and not replanting them) will effect humans as well as animals, the ecosystem, and the climate because:

a) trees happen to be a GREAT source of oxygen

b) think about how may animals live in trees...or use their fruits as food

c) trees happen to have many advantages to them...but they provide LOTS of shade from the sun's harmful uva rays (hint: sunscreen)

d) they maintain ecosystems

The genus of bamboos is Bambusa, derived from the Greek word "βάμβος" meaning tree cane. One species in the Bambusa genus commonly used for making fine paper is Bambusa vulgaris.

When the temperature reaches the lowest melting point of the mineral or minerals of which the rock is made.
That depends entirely on what type of rock you have, and what it's made up of. Different substances have different melting points. Igneous rock has the highest, which means they don't melt easily. You'd have to know what types of materials are in the rock and look up their respective melting points in a chemistry book, or online. There is no one single answer to your question.

Abiotic factors of a particular biome, be it a tropical rainforest or a grassland, affects what grows there and what can and cannot thrive there. A particular soil type could be ideal for several species of plants but not for others. Too much precipitation favors some plants like trees, but it does not favor others like dryland grasses. Too much or too little sunlight will also affect what grows where. Then we have the animals. The animals are only secondary to a particular biome, as they are there because their kind of food grows there. You won't find monkeys in a grassland because they have no ideal food source there for them. And, you won't find plains bison in a rainforest because grass does not thrive in a rainforest. Predators are the tertiary portion of a biome: a leopard thrives in a rainforest because of protective cover and he has monkeys and dik diks to hunt and eat. A wolf thrives in a grassland because of his capability of running for long distances across the open plains (he won't be able to do this in a rainforest), and his ability to chase wild game like pronghorn and bison.

Magnesium is needed by plants to make the green pigment chlorophyll and to activate some enzymes. Although there may appear to be a lot of chlorophyll in plants, each chlorophyll molecule only contains one magnesium atom. The molecular weight of chlorophyll (in fact, chlorophyll a) is 893.5. The atomic weight of magnesium is 24.3. So magnesium only makes up about 2.7% of the weight of the chlorophyll. Enzymes are catalysts and are only needed in small amounts to catalyse reactions, as they are used over and over again, so only small amounts of magnesium are needed. http://www.efma.org/introduction/section01.asp

Only a hundred or so years ago, there were countries in South America that were entirely covered in rainforest. At that time, rainforests covered 14 percent of the Earth. Today, rainforests only cover 6 percent, and are being demolished constantly.

Some of the pros of mining include providing raw materials for various industries, creating job opportunities in mining communities, and contributing to a country's economic growth through export of mined resources.

Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil that is rich in nutrients and organic matter, making it ideal for plant growth. It provides a medium for plants to anchor their roots, access water and nutrients, and support microbial activity essential for healthy growth. Topsoil also plays a crucial role in regulating water infiltration and retention in the soil.

It is generally more ecological to wash normal plates, as paper plates contribute to deforestation and generate waste. However, the ecological impact depends on factors such as the water and energy used for washing, as well as the production and disposal of normal plates. Opting for reusable plates and washing them efficiently with minimal water and energy can be a more sustainable choice.
