THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON NON TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS Introduction Over the years‚ there have been growing concerns over the maintaining and sustainability of the ecosystem. One of the areas that have not been left out is the growing need to monitor forest management. Natural changes such as climate change cause variations in the nature and quality of products in these forests. The areas of interest in this case are the non-timber forest products which are becoming of extreme importance in

We should be concerned with the extinction and try and preserve the biomes and ecosystems that are present. Over time the ecosystem and biomes have evolved changed in some form or fashion that will leave us in difference from this particular time now.

If the reckless deforestation continues it would offset the balance of Earth’s ecosystem and‚ simply put‚ would eventually end all life. So what the government and other organizations have done is they created a park service that is there to protect and maintain the parks. The earliest form of the park rangers were men from the army

The Freshwater Biome By Lauren Finnis The freshwater biome is a complex biome that can be found all over the world. There are two major types of freshwater biomes. The first type is lotic or running which include rivers and streams. Lentic or standing is the second type; those include lakes and ponds. Since this biome is found worldwide‚ the species that reside in it can vary extensively‚ but usually it contains several species of fish‚ plants‚ and insects. Predation is a way of life in the freshwater

Clean‚ reliable water sources are vital in the overall health and wellness of any ecosystem.

1. The cost of utilizing the ecosystem services is extremely a lot‚ its estimated to be about $44 trillion annually. Although it may seem that there’s too much money getting spent in those services‚ studies have shown that the combined benefits of nature to people at over $100 trillion per year. The benefits do outdo the cons by a mile‚ typically because people gain more from nature than anything else in this world. 2. The National Park Services and the U.S Forest Services might seem very similar

the surface of the ocean. Ecosystems Since the biosphere is way too large and complex for scientists to study as a whole‚ so they separate it into smaller units call ecosystems. There are two things that make up an ecosystem‚ the areas physical features (abiotic factors) and living organisms (biotic factors). The organisms living together in an ecosystem are called a community. Sometimes things in one ecosystem are affected from another ecosystems‚ so ecosystems are not self contained. Ecological
