Do the Sahara Desert and Arctic Region have a high or low bio-diversity compared to a rainforest explain your statement? The bio-diversity of the Arctic and the Sahara are minute compared with the high levels of biodiversity that the rainforest possesses‚ the Arctic and the Sahara are placed in regions where the conditions for a living organism to survive and nurture is harsh and ruthless. Suitable environmental conditions are the ideal regions in which living organisms should live in as it allows

impacts of human activity on one or more deserts Human activity is becoming more prolific in deserts in recent years as governments are seeing the important resources that the desert offers. Mining and mineral exploitation‚ farming‚ tourism‚ and growing populations have had both positive and negative effects on desert environments‚ providing both income for local communities but also affecting the desert ecosystem by depleting water and nutrient supply. Deserts in the US‚ Middle East and South America

The Sonoran desert of southern Arizona is under severe threat due to a non-native species: 1 buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris). Buffelgrass‚ or African foxtail grass‚ is native to regions of Africa‚ southern Asia‚ Iran‚ and the extreme south of Europe. 2 It is a perennial grass that grows to about 50 cm tall with linear leaves. Buffelgrass was first introduced to Arizona‚ Texas‚ and Sonora‚ Mexico in the 1930’s as a means to feed cattle and prevent soil erosion. Unfortunately‚ many ranchers in Sonora

Linking Biodiversity‚ Ecosystem Services‚ and People What is Biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is a term describing the variety of life‚ among living organisms and ecosystems. It refers to the wide variety of ecosystems and organisms suchs as animals‚ plants‚ their habitats‚ and the ecological complexes of the diversity within species. It is crucial for the functioning of ecosystems which provides us with products and services we cannot live without. Oxygen‚ food‚ fresh water
Premium Biodiversity Ecology Ecosystem
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited

Feb/21/13 Ecosystems – Lab #4 Purpose: To study the interactions between living and non-living things within the ecosystem. Hypothesis: Changing the elements of the environment within the bottle ecosystem will affect how the plants grow. If worms/bugs are added to the bottle they will live there. Materials: * 2 Liter pop bottle * Scissors * Soil * Seeds (grass

Desert Hornet Dream Somewhere it’s said we are shaped by life’s experiences. Whether those experiences are big or small‚ each can have its own impact on the soul. Sometimes those experiences can take hold of the imagination in the way a snake would constricts its prey and slowly consume it. Feeling every fiber of that being‚ tasting where it’s been‚ and how it got there. Savoring the long slow process and digesting what could be a long interlude to the next consumption. I had such an experience

Fires One of the most predominate ecosystems is the forest community. Covering about one-fourth of the land area on Earth‚ forests consist mainly of trees and other woody vegetation‚ growing closely together. The trees can be large and densely packed‚ as they are in the coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest‚ or they can be relatively small and sparsely scattered‚ as they are in the dry tropical forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Forests are complex ecosystems that also include "soils and decaying
