Wallace Island. The levels of rainfall not only affect the beak sizes of the finches but also the population over time. The experiments were conducted over a period of three hundred years. The parameters remained constant over the three hundred year span to determine the effect of more or less precipitation on the food sources for the finches. The level of rainfall controls the types of seeds the birds eat. More rainfall creates smaller‚ softer seeds. Less rainfall creates harder‚ larger seeds.

which is basically the transfer of atmospheric CO2 into long-lived pools and storing it securely so that it is not immediately reemitted. The rate of soil carbon sequestration‚ however‚ depends on various factors- such as soil texture and structure‚ rainfall‚ temperature‚ farming systems‚ and soil management. Scientists have spent an incessant amount of time trying to determine strategies in order to create an influx in the soil carbon pools. Certain strategies that have been able to come up with are-
