Hillsides have more plant growth because the angle of the growing surface allows sunlight to reach lower layers of the forest. Riverbeds break up the forest canopy so that smaller plants can get the needed sunlight. Plant

The researchers conclude that setting up a "trading market‚" where farmers earn financial incentives for investing in eco-friendly techniques‚ would result in a double environmental benefit -- reducing fertilizer run-off destined for the Chesapeake Bay‚ while at the same time capturing carbon dioxide headed for the atmosphere. The study‚ Multiple Ecosystem Markets in Maryland‚ advises the state’s Department of the Environment how to set up a "nutrient trading market‚" as proposed in the 2008 state

America‚ between 36 and 47° S latitude. This forest occurs in the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome (Perry et al. 2008). The broadleaf evergreen flowering trees that dominate the Valdivian are believed to have evolved in “near complete isolation” from the temperate rainforests of the Northern Hemisphere (DellaSala 2011). Though theses broadleaf species dominate the forest composition‚ conifers‚ a dominant species in Northern temperate forests‚ are still found throughout the Valdivian (DellaSala

These trees have needle-leafs in order to adapt to drought. This type of biome shares some of the flora and fauna common to tropical and subtropical savannas‚ dry broadleaf forests‚ as well as moist broadleaf forests. The understory is composed of diverse vegetation made of shrubs and small trees. Many different species

| Mt Keira has an open forest at the top of the mountain‚ and a rainforest on the bottom. So what is the difference? First of all‚ a rainforest always has more water. On Mt Keira‚ the rainfall hits the top of the mountain and most of it drains down the slope to the rainforest. As a result of this‚ the soil in the open forest is soft‚ slightly damp and thick. However‚ the soil in the rainforest is clay-like‚ crumbly and damp. Due to the lack of water in open forests‚ there is less vegetation

rubber trees for latex. Ever since the 1870’s the tappers have been creating a living off of rubber tapping. The tappers are forced to sell the rubber to industrial processing plants for whatever price they can get off of it. The tappers use the forest by extracting a milky sap called latex. In the process of the extraction it’s not harming the trees in any ways. They are only making incisions that cuts through the latex vessels which then leaks latex. They basically work there because that’s how
