3.1.1. Why does life thrive in the tropical rainforest? The tropical rainforest is very rich in water and food thus life thrives. We all know that food and water are the things that animals need the most for their survival. It also has a warm temperature due to the constant energy that the sun provides. The plants need the sunlight for the process of photosynthesis to be completed and use it to derived energy. And the plants serve as the food for some animals and these animals serve as the food

from biologic models examining the effects of climate change (Lawson et al. 2015; Walther et al. 2015). The role of environmental variance is challenging traditional theoretical approaches supplanting the notion of absolute climate changes. In a world with fluctuating climates‚ two main questions have emerged with urgency: first‚ how do ecologic assemblages respond to changes in environmental variance; and second‚ how does environmental variance affect ecologic assemblages’ responses to changes in

Climate Change Impacts on the Ocean Climate change has widespread effects. It doesn’t just affect weather and temperature. It will also have lasting effects on the ocean and the ecosystems within it. Coral reefs get hit hard by the temperature of the water getting warmer. “Warming of as little as 1°C causes coral bleaching‚ a state in which the tissues of the coral become colorless because of the loss of the zooxanthellae”(Hoegh-Guldberg‚Donner‚pg. 9‚ par 3). This bleaching can stress the reefs

These factors expressed in the question affect the population density of a country or location immensely. Firstly relief‚ when we talk about the relief we talk about highlands and lowlands. Although immediately we like to think that most of the world’s population live fairly low down it is in fact the case that 80% of the worlds population live 500 metres above the sea level‚ this is actually fairly high up. What we might have been thinking of are the mountainous areas of the world like the Andes

Identifying the Rainforest The Mt Keira rainforest is located in Wollongong‚ New South Wales in Australia. The Mt Keira rainforest is what we call a subtropical rainforest. There are four types of rainforest: Tropical‚ subtropical‚ warm-temperate and cool-temperate. Tropical rainforests have generally have a warmer climate than subtropical rainforests. Warm-temperate rainforest are slightly cooler than subtropical rainforests‚ and cool-temperate rainforests have very cool climates‚ i.e. Canada.

Climate Change SUMMARY: Climate change is one of the most contentious public policy go through the world today. While there is just about no argument challenging the matter of the ongoing global warming‚ what is essentially being questioned is whether climate change is anthropogenic or simply a natural‚ cyclical phenomenon upon which human activities do not cast a major impact. This paper will make an effort to compare these two opposing perspectives on climate change. Greenhouse Effect Because

Tropical Rainforest What it is? A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem type that occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator. This ecosystem experiences high average temperatures and a significant amount of rainfall. A biotic conditions of a tropical rainforest? The a biotic factors of this rainforest bio me are-the amount of water and sunlight‚ climate‚ weather and precipitation. These things affect the trees and animals that live there. These are very important

Ecosystems – Grassland vs. Mountains Every single day‚ we breathe in air and take a look at the green grass‚ we taste the blue water‚ we subconsciously analyze the soil‚ feel grey rocks‚ look down on small insects‚ watch the growing trees‚ the flying birds‚ and even ourselves‚ the people. But all of these elements do not exist just to be there‚ they have a further important meaning interacting with organisms. We are talking about a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical
