not a limiting factor in biome distribution if areas have the same annual temperature and precipitation means. C) Not only is the average climate important in determining biome distribution‚ but so is the pattern of climatic variation. D) Temperate forests and grasslands are different biomes because they receive a different quality and quantity of sunlight‚ even though they have essentially the same annual temperature and precipitation. E) Correlation of climate with biome distribution is sufficient

HISTORY AND CLASSIFICATION OF BIRDS The problems of classification of birds Has gained the attention of ornithologist and many systems have been proposed in order to establish their lineage until the beginning of the 19th century. The problem was solved in a rather over simplified way by using only significant characters especially external life forms and way of life and diet. Thus these birds whose toes are joined by welds where grouped in the natatoes. Those with long legs in the gralatories‚

Some of Madagascar’s forests have been deemed to be top priorities for conservation since 1995 (Ganzhorn et al.‚ 1997) due to the rate of deforestation across the island disrupting a

not suited for long-term farming or ranching and they quickly degrade once the forest has been cut and burnt. Unlike the fertile soils of temperate latitudes‚ most tropical forest soils cannot sustain annual cropping. The carrying capacity of the soil will not support intensive annual cropping without rapid‚ irreversible degradation. Similarly‚ intensive cattle grazing cannot be supported because grasses grown on forest soils do not have the same productivity levels as those on arable soils. In fact

Slash and burn farming is a method of cutting down the trees and burning the trees to make lands for farming in the forest. “Slash” I allowed to dry until the rainiest part of the year. Farmers begin to prepare a field by cutting down the trees. The slash and burn farming has to be done carefully because the soil can be washed away from a flood. Every step of the farming

Rain Forests Rainforests cover only 6% of the earth’s surface but they house more than half of the world’s animal and plant population. Rainforests have beautiful layered ecosystems and water features that home massive amounts of living things. There is a very diverse food chain in rainforests. Deforestation is limiting what the rainforest can provide to the world. Rainforests are very large forests that help the earth in many ways. They house many plants‚ animals‚ insects‚ and even
