Which set of statements best illustrates a material cycle in a self-sustaining ecosystem?
In summer, growing plants remove magnesium ions from the soil to make chlorophyll. In autumn, these plants release magnesium when they die and decompose. In spring, new plants will grow in this same area.
Who are the slender loris predators?
Slender lorises face threats from various predators, including birds of prey, snakes, and larger mammals such as civets and domestic cats. Their nocturnal lifestyle and arboreal habits help them evade many predators, but they are still vulnerable, especially to human activities that fragment their habitats. Additionally, young lorises may be at risk from a wider range of predators due to their smaller size.
The rain forests of Africa, Asia, and South America are major carbon sinks, i.e. absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the atmosphere. Because of their fast growth, rain forests (especially tropical rain forests) absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen faster than temperate and boreal forests. The Amazon rain forest alone accounts for 20% of the oxygen production for the earth. Over time, humans have cut down or damaged at least 75% of the world's forests, and that destruction has accounted for much of the excess carbon that is warming the planet. At this time tropical forests are undergoing much faster deforestation than the forests in North America and Europe - and when a tropical forest is cleared, it takes far, far longer to recover than forests in temperate climes. Currently the carbon released into the atmosphere in the process of deforestation of tropical rain forests now accounts for roughly 17% of all global emissions contributing to climate change. This is more carbon dioxide than all cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively emit into the atmosphere. The forests of Europe, North America have been significantly reduced by logging and Australia doesn't have enough forests to make much of contribution so we are quite dependent on the tropical rain forests.
Also -
25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from ingredients found in tropical rain forests and it is reported that 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide are derived from plants from the tropical rain forests.
What is cutting down a forest without replanting?
Answer 1:
cutting down a forest without replanting some trees is really bad. in 5 years we lost 132,000 square kilometres of the Amazon and were going to lose another 85%.
if your cutting down trees at least do what velvet does ,if you take 1 replant 3.
Answer 2:
The answer is deforestation.:)
forests are important because the trees in forests help in making oxygen , we can get wood to make furniture from the trunk of trees, animals can get a place to live and the most important we get beauty by seeing so many trees together ....
Why are animals of the Amazon protected?

How does an opossum adapt to live in rainforest?
They are nocturnal. This allows them to sleep during the day and be active at night when their predators are asleep. Their prehensile tail helps them to hang on to tree branches. The possum will play dead when attacked, causing its prey to lose interest.
Why would a 1996 Nissan maxima's RPM needle go from 2 to 6 and seven, back and fort like crazy.
Noah's Ark was 300 cubits the breadth of 50 cubits and the height 30 cubits as said in The Bible in Genesis 6:15.
This is about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.
"And God said unto Noah "...Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt though make in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it." (Gen. 6:14-16)
Noah's ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits tall.
In modern measurements, that would be 135 meters long, 22.5 meters wide, and 13.5 meters tall.
