What is called treeless ecosystem dominated by mosses grasses and woody plants?
A treeless ecosystem dominated by mosses, grasses, and woody plants is typically referred to as a grassland or a tundra ecosystem, depending on the region and specific vegetation present. Grasslands are characterized by a predominance of grasses with scattered shrubs and trees, while tundra ecosystems have low-growing vegetation like mosses and lichens due to cold and harsh conditions.
What are 5 abiotic factors that affect the saguaro national park ecosystem and why?
- Temperature: Extreme heat can stress plants and animals, impacting their survival and reproduction.
- Precipitation: Limited rainfall can affect plant growth and water availability for animals.
- Sunlight: Availability and intensity of sunlight influence photosynthesis and overall ecosystem productivity.
- Soil composition: Soil nutrients and composition influence plant growth and ecosystem structure.
- Wind: Strong winds can impact plant growth, seed dispersal, and overall ecosystem dynamics.
Are soil and trees in a forest both in the ecosystem?
Yes they are, becaus soil houses many differnt types of creatures, from bugs to small burrowing rodents. Trees also house many living things, and they also are alive as well.
Why do moss plants grow best in damp areas lsuch as the floor of a forest?
Because mosses require water for their motile gametes and also being very delicate damp areas are best for growth
What are the Economic uses of tropical deciduous forest?
Tropical Deciduous Forests are having a great economic value. They provide hard and durable wood which we cannot get from any other forests.
Also, they help in setting up industries as manufacturers can get a best quality wood from these forests.
They are a safe shelter for a variety of animal species.
In the medical field also, they gives us a number of ancient herbs and medicines.
They are also used for agriculture. Most areas of these trees are used for agriculture and local grazzing.

How was the petrified forest formed?
In the water table you have silicates and many other minerals in solution this is the factor that makes the material petrified or agateized.....The silicate is quartz in micron size`s, And the carbon of the material in the ash will act as a magnet for the silicate to form the fossilization of said material.
It takes One Billion gallons of water to suspend 1.5 Lbs. of silica. As for the Great un-known flood of about 6500 years age, Petrified & agateized material takes much longer to form.
In my area it is along the lines of 35 Million Bp. ( Bp ...Before present Time. )
What is the effect of temperature on different color exterior paints?

they never say how old saria in LoZ:OoT is. at least in the game they don't. but they never age so they are most likely several hundred years old.(how they continue to act like children i don't know)
Snow can affect wood by causing it to absorb moisture, leading to swelling and potential damage such as warping or rotting. The weight of snow accumulation on the wood can also cause structural issues or breakage. Additionally, repeated freeze-thaw cycles can weaken the wood fibers over time.
Where is the first forest university established in India?
Bharati Vidyapeeth was established in Pune, India in 1964. This university is not dedicated strictly to forestry, but now has many branches throughout India.
In order for any school to be called a "university" it must contain multiple colleges, typically a college of business and a college of arts and sciences, among others. A department of forestry would be one division of a more general college of agriculture.
How are renewable resources important to us?
by using renewable resources we can save the environment. Most of the time non-renewable resources are bad for the environment by destroying the ozone. gas and coal are examples of non-renewable resources. another reason renewable resources are better is because they are well, renewable. that way we can never run out. examples would be hydroelectric, solar, and wind power
Because he took a crap on the U.S. Constitution and broke many laws in trying to achieve his fascist state. The "Patriot" Act for one which was passed by the Bush administration severly limits the free speech rights of U.S. citizens as they can be detained for anti-American speech under the Act. Also, the fact that he started a war over oil and his perverted imperialistic ideals which is the result of thousands of dead U.S. troops which all have families, mothers, fathers and siblings, as well as thousands of innocent Iraqi's. This is just the tip of the ice-berg.
I don't understand what is wrong with discouraging free speech when it slanders the country we live in. Boo Hoo it's not politically correct, well get over it, free speech is definetly important don't get me wrong and yes it was the bases for the founding of our nation, but our nation is becoming week because we are being ripped apart from the inside out by people who burn the flag and more than take advantage of the libertys they are given, and the crazy thing is they take these liberties for granted. To answer the question (in a more neutral manner) everyone hates Bush because of the war in Iraq and that there is a strong possability that he could have lied to our nation. And if Obama commits more troops to Iraq he will get sh*t on as well, just like Saddam said "the Americans have no stomach for war" and that is very true.
Why did Algonquins move villages into the forest for the winter?

When does Interspecific competition occurs?
Interspecific competition occurs when two or more species-populations require some resource (typically food or space), but the resource is not abundant enough to support all of them at the sizes they would attain in the absence of the other species-populations.
What keeps a forest fire from jumping across a firebreak?
A river passing through a forest can prevent a forest fire from jumping across the firebreak.
Why will priest ask your gothram when you go to temple?
To answer this question, i need to explain a small thing. With in brahman community, out of my understanding, there were 2 categories, namely, Vaidika Brahmana as well as Niyyoga Brahmana. You will undestand tThe reason of categorising as such, when you understand what each category are supposed to do. First comes the Vaidika Brahmana Community. They are set to serve the entire man kind by performing all the Poja related activities. This poja related activities could be
# Pooja at Temple # Pooja at any cerimony for the human kind # Cerimony could be for a happy ocasion as well as sad occassion So, by understanding the responsibilities from the above what we can understand is that, the people from this community are supposed to be friest for the entire human world. But then when the entire human kind has to perform the pooja at home, they can do it them self, as long as it is exclusively with in home or family. Then the concept comes when the family has to perform poja and invite other family friends or relatives, as an example pooja performed at the time of New House. At such incidents the family will invite the brahmins from Vaidika Community and request them to perform the pooja on their behalf... ON THEIR BEHALF.. This is the reason the priest will ask your PRAVARA while peforming the pooja and the family initiated such pooja will utter "MA MA.." inother words, ME.
What is the largest forest in the world?
--
Its called the Boreal forest or Taiga Forest (pronounced Tiger) and composes 1/3 of all the trees in the world. Taigan trees start growing above the arctic circle where they take more than 50yrs to grow bigger than a sapling because they only receive sun light for 1 month per year. The taiga is found throughout the high northern latitudes, between the tundra, and the temperate forest, mostly from 52°N to 66°N, but with considerable regional variation and reaching 70°N in some areas. The Taiga generates enough oxygen on its own to regenerate all the oxygen for the entire planet.
CONFIRMED: It is the largest forest in the world. But it also is one of the puniest forests in terms of tree size. But it is the forest with the greatest impact on Carbon Dioxide levels, affecting them in yearly cycles. And, usually, it is just below the tundra line.
Further Info:
Parts of the Taiga are undergoing clearcutting, despite the puny tree size mixed with a great affect on the earth's climate. In Canada, less than eight percent of the boreal forest is protected from development and more than 50% has been allocated to logging companies for cutting. 80% of the boreal forest products from Canada are exported to the USA. Primary products are:
-Toilet Paper
-Normal Paper
-Kleenex Tissues
-Cardboard
-Furniture
-Chip Board and other wood building materials
-The paper on dry wall
The importance to recycle everything that originates from wood, and, especially, buy recycled paper is very evident. As for toilet paper questions might rise on the sanitary value of recycling it, but a consumer should at least buy recycled.
Virtually all paper can be recycled indefinitely. Wood can be reused or turned into paper.
The soil in the boreal forest tends to be poor in nutrients. Forest fires clear out the tree canopies, allowing sunlight to invigorate new growth on the forest floor. For some species, wildfires are a necessary part of the life cycle in the taiga and can allow it to regrow to it's original point is around a decade. Clearcutting permanently removes nutrients from the soil in the form of trees. It could take DECADES for it to recover. Maybe even over a century, since the growing season is short there, but standards are enforced. Most companies that harvest in Canadian forests are certified by an independent third party agency such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forests Initiative (SFI), or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). While the certification process differs between these various groups, all of them include forest stewardship, respect for aboriginal peoples, compliance with local, provincial and/or national environmental laws, forest worker safety, education and training, and other environmental, business and social requirements. The prompt renewal of all harvest sites by planting or natural renewal is also required.
