MJ How European Attitudes‚ Deforestation and the Introduction of Biological Factors shaped American Environmental History In 1492‚ Christopher Columbus set sail from the Eastern coast of Europe seeking to find a shorter passage to what He believed would lead him to the Indies. Yet‚ in his quest for the Indies‚ Columbus stumbled on a land far greater and completely breathtaking…the Americas. Although Columbus and his crew were well aware of what they discovered‚ at least to a certain extent

“Deforestation brings about more harm than benefits to humans.” Using studies you have made‚ explain how far you agree with this statement. Deforestation refers to the clearing of forests‚ usually at such a rapid rate that it is impossible for the forests to regenerate naturally in a short time. Deforestation brings benefits to humans by clearing land that can be used for settlement‚ to make space for a growing population to live in. However‚ it also brings harm to humans because eroded topsoil

Discuss how a protected area managed as a strict nature reserve or wilderness reserve in an HFLD (High Forest and Low Deforestation) country like Guyana can contribute to the achievement of REDD+ objectives. REDD means Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in developing countries. Its overarching objective is to reduce greenhouse gases. REDD-plus includes the role of conservation‚ sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries

the Saudi desert. Definition of Hydroponic Overview The term "hydroponics" comes from the Greek word "hydro‚" which means water‚ and "ponos‚" which means labor. It means cultivating plants in a nutrient-rich water‚ rather than soil. The plants can grow in the hydroponic water solution by itself or with rocks‚ perlite or gravel added to the solution. Soil acts as a reservoir for the plants and is not essential for the plant’s growth. There are two types of hydroponic planting techniques. The earliest

Not all deforestation is intentional. Some is caused by a combination of human and natural factors like wildfires and subsequent overgrazing‚ which may prevent the growth of young trees. Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests‚ and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest

foods need to be made. Through hydroponics more plants and crops can be created in a shorter amount of time. "Hydroponics is an excellent method of conducting research with controlled conditions of nutrient availability." The problem is that if the exact amount of minerals are not used the produce may have negative side effects or unwanted results. Through the research of hydroponics the less fortunate can produce their own crop while saving resources. A hydroponics garden may use only a fraction

equal the result of hydroponics (Cultivation of plants in nutrient solution rather than in soil). Through research our group came to the conclusion that agar‚ pearlite and mulched grass could all greatly contribute to enriching the nutrient of the soil. We predict that one of the treatments‚ using the above listed ingredients‚ will have a greater growth rate than the controlled plant strictly using hydroponics. Water is essential in all plant growth. The term hydroponics refers to an optimum
