BEECH FOREST ECOSYSTEMS INTRODUCTION This essay will look at beech forest ecosystems‚ describing the main characteristics‚ along with pre-human and current distribution of beech forests. Vegetation structure and native fauna associated with the ecosystem will be looked at with examples of species given. Environmental effects such as altitude‚ latitude‚ rainfall and soil drainage‚ and how they can affect beech forests will be investigated. Anthropogenic effects will also be looked at‚ explaining

Exercise 1.1 Write in your own words a short answer that describes the differences between weather and climate. Weather and Climate both take the same measuring elements of the environment and atmosphere (Temperature‚ humidity‚ pressure‚ wind speeds‚ precipitation‚ etc.). According to Sturman & Tapper (2006)‚ weather is “the state of the atmosphere at a particular point in time within a defined areas.” This in turn is opposed to Sturman & Tapper’s (2006) take on climate which is “the synthesis

WHAT IS CLIMATE? Have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert‚ another a grassland‚ and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts‚ and why are there different types of life in each area? It is because of Climate. Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (for at least 30 years). This includes the region’s general pattern of weather conditions

Date: Biodiversity: Biological diversity‚ or biodiversity‚ refers to the variety of life on Earth. As defined by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity‚ it includes diversity of ecosystems‚ species and genes‚ and the ecological processes that support them. Natural diversity in ecosystems provides essential economic benefits and services to human society—such as food‚ clothing‚ shelter‚ fuel and medicines—as well as ecological‚ recreational‚ cultural and aesthetic values‚ and thus

Solar radiation gets absorbed by the Earth’s surface when it reaches Earth. This emits infrared radiation into the land‚ ice and water. Greenhouse gases warm the lower atmosphere because they re-emit infrared radiation in all directions that travels back downward warming the lower atmosphere. This has led

Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Climate change refers to the changes of the climate in which bad phenomena that caused directly or indirectly by human activities. Global warming is one of the main factors that contribute to the climate change. Global warming occurs when heat trapped in the earth’s atmosphere that caused by excess greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). All of these gases form a layer in the atmosphere

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
