Natural Resources
Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper on natural resources and energy. Include the following:
Choose a specific ecosystem, such as a forest, grassland, or a marine or freshwater aquatic ecosystem.
Identify impacts associated with agriculture.
Identify and discuss the effects that a growing human population may have on that ecosystem’s resources, including loss or harm to populations of wild species.
Discuss one management practice for sustainability and conservation of natural resources in that ecosystem.
Identify the risks and benefits of extracting or using one type of nonrenewable and one type of renewable energy resource from that ecosystem, or in areas near that ecosystem.
Assess management practices for sustainability and conservation of natural resources and energy.
Include two outside references.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Forests conversion involves removing natural forests to meet other land needs, such as plantations, agriculture, pasture for cattle settlements, and mining. Unfortunately after the process of farming is complete the outcome is irreversible. The outcome is irreversible since deforesting land for farming; the soil is depleted of its nutrients.
As the population grows more and more lands are being stripped to provide wood and land use for agriculture.
One management practice is logging and which are located on steep slopes, the effects of these activities on watersheds will depend mainly on the layout of roads and skid trails and the quality of their maintenance. Other important factors are the felling and skidding techniques which are used in silvicultural treatments, protection against fire and pests, and other forestry activities.
Forests or trees might be considered a non-renewable resource if they are cut down faster than they grow back. Many people think that the best wood is called "heartwood." This is the kind of wood that grows deep down in the middle of very old trees. If
