Question: Explain how human activities can interrupt or modify the nutrient cycles in the coniferous forest. Refer in detail to examples you have studied. Attempt to show as annotated diagrams the altered minerals nutrient cycle. Essay: The coniferous forest occurs in cold climates to the poleward side of 60 N in Eurasia and North America as well as high attitudes in more temperate latitudes and in Southern Chile. It has an average NPP of 800g/m/yr. There is usually only one layer of vegetation

fibers which finely divide the air space. The fibers may be perpendicular or parallel to the surface being insulated‚ and may or may not be bonded together. Examples are silica‚ glass‚ rock wool‚ slag wool and alumina silica fibers. Most commonly used insulations of this type are glass fiber and mineral wool. Cellular Insulations Cellular insulations have small individual cells separated from each other. The cellular material can be glass or foamed plastic such as polystyrene (closed cell)‚ polyurethane

good thermal insulators. Well-insulated buildings need less energy for heating than buildings that have no insulation. Two building materials that are being used more and more worldwide‚ are mineral wool and polystyrene. Mineral wool is a good insulator because it holds air still in the matrix of the wool so that heat is not lost. Since air is a poor conductor and a good insulator‚ this helps to keep energy within the building. Polystyrene is also a good insulator and is able to keep cool things

Loft Insulation Research Loft insulation is an effective way to save energy and money in a home. A well insulated house keeps warmth indoors and not letting heat escape. By insulating a loft it will help to heat the home more efficiently. Using less energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions (CO2): which is one of the biggest causes of climate change. Another advantage is that people will also save money on their bills too. [1] Glass fibre or other loft insulation materials are laid across the loft

Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items‚ similar to wool. These items include blankets‚ sweaters‚ hats‚ gloves‚ scarves‚ a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America‚ and sweaters‚ socks‚ coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified
