Why rainforest are under threat of being cut down?

The reasons for rainforest destruction are economic and social.

Economic reasons include: 1) to create farmland, 2) wood is harvested, sold for timber or fuel, 3) alternate uses for the land, such as mining or creation of reserviors.

Social reasons include: 1) Settlement - creation of new towns and cities, and 2) Transportation - creation of roads or canals.

Cattle ranching became a huge reason. Europe, Russia and the US have imported many millions of tons of beef from Brazil.

How can you find out if your boyfriend is divorced in Louisiana?

You can check for both marriage licenses and divorce decrees with the county clerk's office. Check for a marriage license in the county he was married in, then check for a divorce decree in this county and all other counties in Florida. If you found a marriage license, but could not find a divorce decree it is safe to assume he is still married.

Check on this website www.searchsystems.net go to the state that the divorce is in then go to the county where the divorce was filed. Then search that county's court records.

If you have a hard time looking it up the way that the previous person stated, you could hire a Private Investigator in your state. I am a former Private Investigator and on several occasions we had clients with similar situations. It's not hard to do, just time consuming and tedious.

What fruit do rainforests have?

Many of the seeds and fruits produced by canopy trees fall to the ground where they provide food for seed gatherers (rodents, birds, fish, etc) and create a natural seed bank in the leaf litter. There are two growth strategies once seeds reach the ground. One strategy is to produce large seeds with food reserves enabling the seedling to survive in the low-light conditions of the understory. The second method characteristic of many pioneer species is to produce huge numbers of small seeds which only germinate under certain conditions (usually light gaps). When a light gap opens, these seeds sprout and the seedlings rapidly grow to once again plug the hole in the canopy.

Since seeds are the agents for future growth, many have defenses against predators to ensure some will be left untouched to germinate. Plants reduce herbivory and seed eating with structural defenses like thorns, stinging hairs, or spines and the production of toxic compounds which interfere with digestion or are unpalatable. Often the seed is surrounded by an edible fleshy material to make it palatable to birds and mammals who can disperse it, but the seed is toxic or indigestible so it will be passed out or discarded. For example, the cashew has a sweet and juicy stem but a toxic seed, so monkeys eat the fleshy stem and discard the seed.

Many rainforest trees, especially those of the forest interior, produce large cauliflorous fruits that grow directly out of the surface of the tree. This mechanism enables the tree to grow large, conspicuous fruits that attract larger animals. One of the largest cauliflorous fruits is the jackfruit of Southeast Asia which may be three feet long (1 m) and 110 pounds (50 kg). The jackfruit produces a strong odor that attracts nocturnal mammals like the flying fox. A famous cauliflorous fruit of Southeast Asia is the durian, a thorn covered fruit that is said to "taste like heaven but smell like hell." The odor of the durian is so offensive that its presence has been banned in some public places. Nevertheless, the durian is an important export for Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, which exported nearly 1 million metric tons in 1992. Both cocoa and coffee beans grow as cauliflorous fruit.

Seeds and fruits provide an important food resource for forest-floor animals. To survive, a seed must elude these predators and many do so by being dispersed by specialized birds, mammals, and fish. These dispersers eat the fruit flesh without destroying the seed. Other seeds escape by being poisonous. Some of these toxins are useful to insects, which sequester them for their own purposes, and to humans. For example, many seed toxins have been chemically isolated and used to formulate drugs for humans, while umpteen insects naturally incorporate these compounds to render themselves toxic or use these toxins to produce scents to attract mates. For example, the male butterflies of the Danaiidae family convert alkaloids in the crotalaria plant into a scent to attract females.

Many large seeds have structured defenses against seed predators. In some cases seeds designed for gut passage by large mammals will have a sturdy seed coat, while bird-dispersed large-seeded fruit will often have seeds that are chemically defended. For example, the fruit of the nutmeg splits open to reveal a large seed covered with an orange-colored aril. The seed is highly aromatic, and the odor acts as a warning and toxic deterrent.

What do people in tropical rain forests build their houses out of?

Answer

Yes, in fact some people already do.



They are called indigenous people and they rely on the forest to provide the food, shelter and clothing, kind of like how people used to live before the rise of technology.

Living like this may be a good idea, but technology can improve our lifestyle. For example, we can cross a corn plant with many kernels and a corn plant with resistance to bugs and form corn with both of the wanted traits.
