What are three adaptations of the tallest trees in the tropical rain forest?
Rainforest plants have made many adaptations to their environment. With over 80 inches of rain per year, plants have made adaptations that helps them shed water off their leaves quickly so the branches don't get weighed down and break. Many plants have drip tips and grooved leaves, and some leaves have oily coatings to shed water. To absorb as much sunlight as possible on the dark understory, leaves are very large. Some trees have leaf stalks that turn with the movement of the sun so they always absorb the maximum amount of light. Leaves in the upper canopy are dark green, small and leathery to reduce water loss in the strong sunlight. Some trees will grow large leaves at the lower canopy level and small leaves in the upper canopy. Other plants grow in the upper canopy on larger trees to get sunlight. These are the epiphytes such as orchids and bromeliads. Many trees have buttress and stilt roots for extra support in the shallow, wet soil of the rainforests.
How do forests help in civilization?
Well first off, we need them to make your oxygen. Secondly, we need them for shelter. Thirdly, we need food, and in order to get food, the animals need food. Lastly, they are nice to look at!
How do you prevent form getting aids?
Answer
Don't engage in any kind of sex, unles it's protected sex this includes, oral and intercourse. Protection mean condoms and blood tests with the person you are going to have sex with on a regular basis.

What are the plant and animal species in the Atlantic oakwood forest?
Two species are Poozerking and Beefeater
Where is the Siberian forest located at?
It is one of the largest forest in the world it located in the siberia.
The driest place in the world is?
Probably the Atacama desert in South America. That is what most experts believe, however some also argue that the Dry Valleys in Antarctica is the driest. It did not have any rain for nearly 2 million years, so it is a reasonable argument.
If you mean razor burn it is when you shave and and leaves the skin red and sore like a burn. A good shaving cream can help, so can a sharp razor or maybe a good quality electric razor. Also your skin gets somewhat used to shaving after awhile. To get a good idea on what is razor burn and how to prep for a shave, shave properly, and avoid razor burn visit the site attached below.
Explain How do nitrogen cycles through a tropical rain forest?
The nitrogen in a tropical rain forest goes through the normal nitrogen cycle steps and also gains nitrogen directly from lightning activity.
Basic Nitrogen cycle steps:
1. Nitrogen-fixation: nitrogen gas (N2) in the atmosphere is changed into ammonia (NH3) by special nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil.2. Nitrification: the conversion of ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3-), done in two steps by bacteria. In the first step NH3 is converted to nitrite (NO2-). The second step is for NO2- to be converted into NO3-.
3. Assimilation: NH3 and NO3- compounds are taken into plants' biological tissues. Nitrogen is needed for the building of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Plants can use NO3- and NH3, animals obtain nitrogen by eating plants or other animals.
4. Ammonification: the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia (NH3); acomplished by the decomposition of organisms or waste products (urine and feces).
5. Denitrification: the process of changing NO3- to N2 gas. This is done by bacteria where there is little or no oxygen. This returns nitrogen to the atmosphere.
Role of lightning:Lightning produces NH3, NO2-, and NO3- compounds fromN2 gas in the atmosphere so nitrogen can be incorperated into the stages of the cycle without nitrogen-fixing bacteria.Lightning is an important part of the nitrogen cycle, especially in the rain forest since the soils are heavily leached. Much of the nitrogen in the soil is washed away by the rain. The lightning replenishes the soil and leaves some of nitrogen compounds in the air. Plant leaves can readily take up NO3- from the air and some plants depend on it (such as epiphytes whose roots do not reach the soil).
Estimates of how much nitrogen forests take in varies widely, but some have speculated that in a year a rainforest could take in as much as 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
What is a pouched animal that has a damaging effect on forests?
In New Zealand, the Brushtail possum has a damaging effect on forests. Possums were introduced to New Zealand in the 1830s, for the fur trade.
In New Zealand, possums are taking over native bushland, pushing out native species of birds, for which New Zealand is unique. Possums eat the birds' foods, nest in their trees, and are one of the greatest threats to native bird species. They have been recorded eating eggs and chicks from birds' nests.
Their feeding habits also disrupt the food supplies for native bats, lizards and even insects. They feed on the vegetation, reducing its availability for native species, and nest in the trees, forcing smaller species out. There are no natural predators of the possum in New Zealand, so their population has increased dramatically.
Possums strip the native plants of leaves, buds, flowers, fruits and seeds, meaning less chances of propagation. New Zealand trees do not have defensive chemicals of some Australian native trees, meaning the possums can continue to eat from one tree until the tree has been severely affected.
Many of these plant species are disappearing from the New Zealand forests, and allowing invasive non-native species to take hold of the forests.

Why is it difficult for small ground plants to survive in Latin Americas tropical rain forests?
The Rainforest tops come together to for a dense canopy, or covering, that keeps the sun from reaching the forest floor. As a result not many small ground plants survive.
