How is an organism's behavior is related to changes in the deciduous forests biome?

In a deciduous forest there is a moderate amount of rainfall, so the area can support a medium-number of large trees. Because forests are reletively sparse as compared to rainforests, sunlight reaches the forest floor, allowing for moss and ferns and such to thrive near the base. This allows for a lot of plant life. In these areas, summers are hot (up to 35 C I believe) and winters are cold (-10C) so all organisms are well-adapted to living in both warm and cold environments. For example, deciduous trees lose their leaves to conserve energy in winter and bears hibernate in the winter in order to conserve energy they stored in the summer months when food (berries and small game and such) is plentiful.

What are some effects on slash-and-burn?

The slash and burn technique releases CO2 into the atmosphere. The trees that used to fix this CO2, hold the soil in place and provide water vapor through transpiration are gone. The the lack of water vapor decreases precipitation, the lack of precipitation dessicates the soil, the dry soil without any roots anchoring them is more susceptible to erosion, the increased greenhouse gas of CO2 traps more of the suns heat, leading to even dryer soil, the fertile topsoil blows away. In a few years that lush rainforest will become a barren desert.

Explain howa small lake can become a forest?

Ponds and lakes typically become forests by silting up. The sediments of a river can become trapped in a shallow lake and eventually becomes higher than the water level or water table. This forst forms a meadow, and later the larger trees grow in. This is now occurring at Mirror Lake in Yosemite National Forest.

Lakes that dry up will usually not become forests because they lack groundwater, and there may be a concentration of alkali salts in the lake bed.

What is an example of commensalism in temperate deciduous forest?

relationship with both organisms benefits. One organism gets benefits from anothor but it helps the other organism to.

ex:

1)relationships between bees and flowers,

2)certain ants nest inside the plant's thorns. In exchange for food and shelter, ants protect trees from attack by herbivores and competition from other plants

3) land version of symbiosis is the relationship of the Egyptian Plover bird and the crocodile. In this relationship, the bird is well known for preying on parasites that feed on crocodiles. To that end, the crocodile openly invites the bird to hunt on its body, even going so far as to open its jaws to allow the bird enter the mouth safely to hunt the leeches from its gums. For the bird, this relationship not only is a ready source of food, but a safe one considering that few predator species would dare strike at the bird at such proximity to its host.

How do you define a forest?

A short gravel path leads into the woods. Pine trees stand to attention like soldiers in line at there feet a soft, spongy carpet of leaf matter. Sunlight filters through the pine needles creating a kaleidoscope of different greens. A solitary laurel bush sways gently in the calm breeze. Ladders of ivy climb steadily towards the light. The spicy aroma of curry (from the kitchens) mingles with the softer scent of pine. Spiky holly leaves crowd in a dense mass providing refuge for the many birds.

Rapid drumming betrays the woodpecker before it is encountered. A juvenile great spotted woodpecker is resplendent in his fine coat of black, white and red. His beak a drill forages for grubs beneath layers of bark. A black birds warning call send the woodpecker into sudden flight.

A disturbed log reveals a bustling crowd of mini beasts searching for an exit like passengers off the tube. An earwig stands out with its vivid orange exoskeleton. Its antennae feel for its exit and it slides into the rotten wood. Ants lead in a trail towards their crushed ant hills.

At the foot of a holly tree stands a gorse bush, its yellow flowers radiant like millions of tiny suns. Empty snail shells lie smashed on a rock. Arum pushes through the decomposed soil in clumps, its berries not yet fully developed. Tree roots zig zag through the may paths creating waves in the soil. Bramble bushes stand guarding the exit with their treacherous thorns.
