biodiversity over the many of years in numerous ways. It started with hunting of animals all the way to the manufacturing of factors. All of which has led to the poisoning of our world. There are many different ways that the human species have impacted the biomes‚ such activities like Agriculture‚ Mining‚ Industry‚ Urbanisation and many more. Agriculture impacts the water quality which can modify the nutrient cycle of water and earthly ecosystems. It also changes the land cover‚ which modifies hydrological

It functions independently. However‚ multicellular (many celled) organisms have various levels of organization within them. Individual cells may perform specific functions and also work together for the good of the entire organism. The cells become dependent on one another. Multicellular organisms

1. The science of biogeography is the description of distribution of life and the explanation of this description. The description is based on both time and space. This describes how things look and why they are there. It also looks to answer the question – are these features the same over time? Biogeography arose with the theory that life on earth is a non-random distribution. This is the most important observation leading to the field of biogeography. The study of biogeography includes many other

What if I told you that there was a place so harsh that only a handful of plants and animals can survive there? Well‚ there is and this place is called the tundra biome. This place is too harsh for most trees‚ too cold for large animals‚ and too isolated for most humans. The Arctic Tundra is among Earth’s coldest‚ harshest biomes. Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on tops of mountains. The Arctic tundra is mostly located in the Northern Hemisphere but in the Southern

reaches into Beijing. Springtime weather in Asia produces intense wind storm events that can pass over the Gobi Desert along the northern China / Mongolia. These prevailing westerly winds brings dust from the desert and trough suspension carries the sand dust via Beijing and further on. This threatens Beijing by a rolling tide of sand advancing on the capital from the Gobi Desert that is responsible for the massive dust storms every spring.

The biodiversity is high due to the climate allowing for a yearlong growing season. The climate has a constantly high temperature of around degrees‚ varying by only a few degrees throughout the year due to its position close to the equator where there is an overhead sun. There is also a high rainfall of around 2000mm a year due to convectional currents‚ also a consequence of the
