Forests

Yes, fire is a natural abiotic factor in many ecosystems. It plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem health by reducing plant debris, promoting seed germination, and cycling nutrients in the soil.

Many animals live in the canopy because it provides abundant food sources, protection from predators on the forest floor, and a diverse range of microhabitats. The canopy also offers access to sunlight for photosynthesis, which supports a high concentration of plant life, making it an attractive habitat for many species.

Human disturbances in taiga forests include deforestation for logging, mining, and agriculture, as well as infrastructure development such as roads and settlements. These activities can lead to habitat fragmentation, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of ecosystem processes. Climate change and pollution are also impacting taiga forests, affecting wildlife and vegetation.

The Amazon rainforest in South America is often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth" due to its high oxygen production. It covers several countries including Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. However, it is important to note that a significant portion of Earth's oxygen also comes from phytoplankton in the oceans.

The cutting down of trees destroys not only the old growth forests of our Northwest, it also destroys that habitats of many species of animals. here's the thing...one thing gets destroyed...everything gets destroyed. it's like a line of dominos...when one falls, the others fall down with it.

Occuring between 50 and 60 degrees north latitudes, boreal forests can be found in the broad belt of Eurasia and North America: two-thirds in Siberia with the rest in Scandinavia, Alaska, and Canada

Animals such as deer, squirrels, and rabbits may feed on the leaves of common lime (Tilia europaea) trees in a deciduous forest. These animals are known to forage on the leaves and shoots of various tree species for nutrients and sustenance.

Some good websites for information about the rainforest for a school project include National Geographic's Rainforest section, Rainforest Alliance, and World Wildlife Fund's rainforest page. These websites provide a wealth of information on the importance of rainforests, conservation efforts, and wildlife within the rainforest ecosystem.

There are typically a wide variety of tree species in a deciduous forest, which can vary based on factors like location and climate. In general, there can be dozens to hundreds of different tree species in a deciduous forest, including oaks, maples, beeches, and birches.

That is an impossible question to answer, as it depends on the health of the tree, its age, its photosynthetic rate, and its respiration rate. In addition to this, the value of trees is not to produce oxygen, it is to sequester carbon dioxide. Algae are better oxygen producers than trees.

In general, maturing trees are the best at sequestering carbon dioxide. Trees that are in their natural environment and thus live for several hundred years are excellent as well.

Cooperation in the ecosystem refers to interactions between different species that benefit each other, such as mutualistic relationships where both parties gain something. This mutual assistance can range from protection and foraging to transportation and pollination, enhancing the overall health and stability of the ecosystem. Examples include cleaner fish removing parasites from larger fish or bees pollinating flowers while obtaining nectar.

Yes, in a small way. The world's population is now over seven billion. By about 2025 it will be eight billion. Every new person has a carbon footprint and contributes somewhat to global warming.

the plants associated with inner forrest gangs usually are the most dominant. They contain most of the pollin ciculated throughout the forrest and the head of the gangs are usually trees or a large shrub and the henchman and goons usually consist of weeds or small insects. Hope this helps!

There are two major seasons; Summer and Winter. "Fall" or "Autumn" doesn't occur in a tropical rain forest biome as noticeably, due to the small differences between Winter and Summer-because the only noticeable difference is whether it is wet or dry. Because the treetops block most incoming sunlight, the temperature tends to not vary as it does in wide open fields or such. Because the plants don't have a specific "growing season" there isn't a noticeable "Spring" either.

The tropical broadleaf forest is home to a diverse range of animals, including jaguars, sloths, monkeys, toucans, and tree frogs. This biome supports a variety of species that have adapted to the warm and wet conditions, making it a hotspot for biodiversity.

Evergreen leaves have a waxy coating called cuticle, which helps reduce water loss through evaporation and protects the leaves from external factors like pests and diseases. This coating also gives the leaves their characteristic glossy appearance.

Temperate deciduous forests typically have rolling hills, rivers, valleys, and plains. These landscapes provide a variety of habitats for diverse plant and animal species. The moderate climate in these regions supports the growth of broadleaf trees that shed their leaves annually.

Humans can have a positive impact on the rain forests by planting trees, and the tourism industry has encouraged governments to declare more sanctuaries and tourists are more keen to help save native and wild animals!

tropical evergreen forests are forests which are found in the amazon basin,zaire basin,malaysia...etc.these forests consists of very tall trees. The temperate evergreen forests are located in the mid-latitudinal coastal region. They are commonly found along the eastern margin of the continents, e.g., In the south east USA, South China and in the South East Brazil. They comprise both hard and soft wood trees like oak, pine, eucalyptus, etc

Canada imports fruits and vegatables the most, and u can't forget candy

Forests is home to our fellow animals. It is where they live,find food and do their activities. When trees are being depleted, animals will slowly lose their homes.

Deciduous forest provide a variety of colour during the fall, where the leaves change colours. A hiking during that time is amazing to view the ray of fall colours. Deciduous forest provides home for many animals - black bear, fox, brown bear, aspic viper, cardinal, gray squirrel, and raccoons. The deciduous forest has many flowers like passion berry, and the blue lily.

The main difference between a temperate rainforest and tropical rainforest is location. Tropical rainforests ar located near the equator between the tropics of cancer and capricorn. Temperate rainforests ar located to the north of the Tropic of Cancer and to the south of the Tropic of Capricorn.

There are various types of trees categorized based on characteristics like leaf structure, cone-bearing, and deciduous/coniferous nature. Some common tree types include oak, maple, pine, spruce, and cedar. Each type has unique features and benefits for the environment.

A coniferous tree typically has needle-like or scale-like leaves that stay green year-round. They often have a triangular shape with a central trunk and branches that extend outward. Coniferous trees also produce cones to spread their seeds.
