Biodiversity of invertebrates found in leaf litter in the Solebury woods Introduction: We are trying to compare the biodiversity of leaf litter invertebrates in forested areas on each side of the horseshoe trail on Solebury School’s campus. Each area has significantly different ecological histories. Leaf litter invertebrates are essential to the forests wood web. At the base off the food web are the main producers which would be trees or shrubbery. Then there are the primary

Tropical rain forest is very important for our nature such as for ecosystem balance‚ earth temperature and flora and fauna habitat. In our country Malaysia‚ most of the forest are announced as a forest reserve to preserve our forest from destroyed. Not only important to flora and fauna but also to people. For some people‚ their lives depends on forest. However‚ deforestation activity by irresponsible people has led to imbalanced ecosystem. First of all‚ the effect of deforestation is pollution especially

An invasive species can be any kind of living organism an amphibian‚ plant‚ insect‚ fish‚ fungus‚ bacteria‚ or even an organism’s seeds or eggs that is not native to an ecosystem and which causes harm. Species that grow and reproduce quickly‚ and spread aggressively‚ with potential to cause harm‚ are invasive species. Invasive species are primarily spread by human activities‚ often unintentionally. People‚ and the goods we use‚ travel around the world‚ and they often carry uninvited species with

not limited to) beetles. Every ecosystem has biodiversity and its biodiversity is beneficial. The benefit of a desert’s biodiversity is that each organism can help other organisms survive or‚ at the least‚ maintain. For instance‚ lizards eat insects and insects eat plants. So the lizards eating the insects protect the plants from any damage the insects may cause to the plants. As shown in the diagram below‚ three categories of a desert ecosystem are producers‚ consumers‚ and decomposers

Why is the wetland important? Verloren Vallei forms part of the upper catchments of the Olifants and Crocodile rivers‚ two of South Africa’s most important river systems which both ultimately flow into Mozambique. The wetland also provides other ecosystem services including flood attenuation‚ erosion control‚ toxicant‚ phosphate and nitrate assimilation‚ and carbon storage. The main impacts on the wetlands in the area are associated with historic land use. They include drainage channels and furrows
