Liu‚ he interprets an ideal world notion in stimulating details on how collaborations can be well established between humanity and landscapes that has a bounty of biomass and aridity areas. Although the Earths resources are limited‚ every twelve years the population continues to increase by a billion. Mankind can rehabilitate

animal dies‚ scavengers like vultures and wolf prey on dead animals and leave the remaining to be decomposed by other organisms. Some insects and micro-organisms eat up the dead and decaying matter and convert it into black-colored substance called humus. Such organisms are known as decomposers and play a role in providing the soil with natural compost. Hence‚ there is no wastage in a forest. Green lungs: Forests are also known as green lungs‚ as they maintain a perfect balance between oxygen and

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

CROP PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT Types of Crops Soil Preparation Sowing Harvesting Fertilisers Insecticides All living organisms require food. Plants can make their food themselves. Animals including humans can not make their own food. The energy from food is utilized by organisms for carrying out their various body functions‚ such as digestion‚ respiration and excretion. We get our food from plants‚ or animals‚ or both. In order to provide food for a large population— regular

DEFORESTATION INTRODUCTION The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale for many years. This process‚ known as deforestation‚ involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. If the current rate of deforestation continues‚ the world’s rain forests will vanish soon‚ causing unknown effects on global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet. It would also change the water and oxygen levels dramatically
