Ecosystems

In the 14th century, witches were either burned at the stake, or if not completely sure that they had magic, the people would drown them. If they floated they knew of the innocence, but if not, the magic they never had would die with them

One physical factor that influences desert formation is low precipitation levels. Deserts typically receive very little rainfall, which inhibits the growth of most vegetation and leads to arid conditions. Temperature also plays a role in desert formation, as high temperatures can increase evaporation rates and contribute to aridity.

Runoff is water that cannot soak into the ground and instead flows across Earth's surface

Elephants live in various areas of the world including Africa and Asia. African elephants are found in sub-Saharan Africa, while Asian elephants are found in countries like India, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Yes, a food chain with six organisms could exist. For example: grass → grasshopper → frog → snake → eagle → decomposers. Each organism in the chain contributes to the transfer of energy and nutrients from one level to the next.

Amur leopards live in temperate forests in the Russian Far East and northeastern China. They require a mix of forested, mountainous regions with prey availability like deer and boar, along with access to water sources. These ecosystems provide the necessary cover for hunting and protection against potential threats.

That's totally subjective : some people would like to define it as without people - as if we were not a part of nature. Feel free to define it as you wish.

In temperate forests, the soil is typically nutrient-rich, well-drained, and characterized by a thick layer of leaf litter that decomposes slowly due to the cool, moist conditions. In grasslands, the soil tends to be deep and fertile, with a dark top layer of organic matter that is replenished by the rapid decomposition of grass roots and leaves. Both ecosystems support diverse plant communities adapted to these specific soil characteristics.

Tigers are the top predator in the food chain that keeps the eco-system going in tropical jungles of Asia. When they vanish due to poaching and lack of habitat, they take away with them an important link in the food chain. Tigers help keep the population of herbivores like Deers, Wild Buffaloes, Antelopes and Omnivores like Boars in the jungle. Nature is finally balanced with the right proportion of predators for prey. By taking away one important predator, prey will increase at the cost of habitat which finally impacts mankind

Birds can carry seeds and drop them to make a new plant and sunflower seeds. W

hen you make a wish and blow it on the grass the seeds create sunflowers which are weeds!

Gorillas live in the rainforests and subtropical forests in Africa. The term Silverback refers to a male gorilla having reached an age of maturity which becomes visibly distinctive in a silvery-grey coloring that appears on the back of the gorilla.

The Amazon Rainforest is full of animals that all contribute to the area's ecosystem. The rainforest has primary consumers that eat the plant life. These consumers are eaten by secondary consumers, or carnivores. When the carnivores die, they are consumed by scavengers and decomposers, Then, the cycle begins again.

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their physical environment. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature by regulating nutrient cycling, providing habitats for different species, and contributing to the overall stability and resilience of the environment.

Factors that affect collaboration include communication styles, trust among team members, clear goals and objectives, alignment on roles and responsibilities, and diversity of skills and perspectives. Additionally, factors such as a supportive work culture, effective leadership, and technological tools can also impact collaboration within a team or organization.

In India, the US, and other countries, a national park is set aside as a habitat for animal and plant life in a protected natural setting. The government controls the park's operations and access, with the specific intention to avoid damage by industrial development or unauthorized habitation.

An example is Gir National Park in Gujarat, India (see related link below).

An ecosystem refers to all living organisms in an environment, such as a forest, along with the physical elements they interact with, like soil, water, and air. These components work together as a complex system, with each organism playing a unique role in maintaining the ecosystem's balance.

We don't spend a lot of time in natural ecosystems because where ever we are, chances are the biotic and abiotic factors has been changed. They change becuase humans changed it. When humans change the ecosystem it is no longer a natural ecosystem. We use natural ecosystems and turn it into thing's like golf courses, housing area's etc. So basically we are in non natural ecosystems most of the time. But the only time we do use (or are in) a natural ecosystem in when we are in/by a forest, pond (that was naturally made) etc.

Hope that helped :)

No, some species can feed at more than one trophic levels. For instance, humans can eat plants(first level), chickens(second level), and dogs(third level).

Primary succession requires the presence of bare rock or soil, as well as pioneer species that can colonize and begin the process of ecological succession. These pioneer species often include lichens and mosses that can survive in harsh conditions and begin breaking down the rock or soil to create a suitable environment for other organisms.

Yes, adding a small amount of baking soda to water can help extend the life of cut flowers by creating a less acidic environment. Baking soda can help prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi that can cause flowers to wilt prematurely.

An organism may not survive in another ecosystem due to differences in environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, or food availability that are not compatible with its biology. Additionally, competition with native species or lack of predators can also impact an organism's survival in a new ecosystem.

There are many different types of birds. Poultry refers to domestic birds used as food. Song birds are typically migratory and move South during the winter. Raptors are hunters that include Eagles and Hawks.

Many berries are red because of the presence of pigments called anthocyanins. These pigments help attract animals for seed dispersal and also protect the berries from damage by UV radiation. Red coloration may also indicate ripeness or act as a warning signal to deter potential predators.
