Temperate Broadleaf Deciduous Forest The Temperate Broad-leaf Deciduous Forest are found mostly in the Eastern part of North America. This is where most of the forests have survived. The leaves of these trees change colors through the seasons. The colors that the trees may change are reds‚ oranges‚ and golds in the autumns. The leaves change colors‚ then when winter rolls around most of these trees lose their leaves and the plants around this area become dormant. The climate in this area is very

Tropical evergreen forest Tropical forests are characterized by the greatest diversity of species. They occur near the equator‚ within the area bounded by latitudes 23.5 degrees N and 23.5 degrees S. One of the major characteristics of tropical forests is their distinct seasonality: winter is absent‚ and only two seasons are present (rainy and dry). An evergreen forest is a forest consisting entirely or mainly of evergreen trees that retain green foliage all year round. Such forests reign the tropics

Introduction A forest is a complex ecosystem which is predominantly composed of trees‚ shrubs and is usually a closed canopy. Forests are storehouses of a large variety of life forms such as plants‚ mammals‚ birds‚ insects and reptiles etc. Also the forests have abundant microorganisms and fungi‚ which do the important work of decomposing dead organic matter thereby enriching the soil. Nearly 4billion hectares of forest cover the earth’s surface‚ roughly 30 percent of its total land area.The forest ecosystem

Temperate forests correspond to forest concentrations formed in the northern and southern hemisphere‚ or in temperate regions. Main characteristics include: wide leaves‚ large and tall trees and non seasonal vegetation. Temperate forests can be further distinguished by weatherpatterns and geographical features that favor the predominance of certain kinds of trees. In temperate coniferous forests‚ evergreen coniferspredominate‚ while in temperate broadleaf and mixed forests‚ a more even distribution

Johnny Greavu PSTL 1112 07/14/2015 Video Response 4 Minnesota: A History of the Land (Episode II) 1) The Big Woods was a temperate hardwood forest defined by shade in south-central Minnesota and western Wisconsin. It was a “climax community”: an environment without a disturbance for decades to hundreds of years. The humidity of the area and proximity to rivers (which acted as a firebreak) led to a virtual absence of fire. Trees such as sugar maple‚ basswood‚ northern red oak‚ and American elm dominated

Science vs Art Is science more important than art when it comes to learning or intelligence? Based off how the current United States public school systems are built‚ the answer is yes‚ knowing the biomes of the Earth is more important than having the opportunity to paint. At the elementary level‚ students get art and music possibly once or twice a week. The performing arts are not even considered an option in a majority of schools. Theatre can be used in connection with science or other subjects
