“Maintaining biodiversity at its present level is impossible if people are going to achieve a reasonable standard of living in the near future” - Discuss this with reference to a tropical biome you have studied (40 marks) Biodiversity means the variety of life forms/organisms in an ecosystem‚ biome or entire planet. Globally‚ biodiversity is not evenly distributed. It generally increases from the poles towards the equator as around 50% of the world’s plants and animals live in tropical rainforests

Camren Allen Concept Check 1.1: 1.) A biosphere has an ecosystem that consists of all living things in an area. An ecosystem consists of communities which hold organisms that live in a specific area. A community consists of populations of all the individual organisms in a specific area. A population consists of living things called organisms. Organisms break down into organs and organ systems which are more complex parts of organisms. Organs and Organ Systems are created by tissues which is

The above diagram is an over_simplification of the spatial relationship between the cosmic and the terrestrial environments. It represents the local neighbourhood of the cosmos in relation to the terrestrial realms which life has inhabited for the last 4 billion years. It shows the definition of the terrestrial environment to be the earth/moon binary eco-system. It shows that this terrestrial nature is part of a greater nature which‚ to a first approximation‚ may be taken to be the local representative

commentary The boundless carbon cycle Tom J. Battin‚ Sebastiaan Luyssaert‚ Louis A. Kaplan‚ Anthony K. Aufdenkampe‚ Andreas Richter and Lars J. Tranvik The terrestrial biosphere is assumed to take up most of the carbon on land. However‚ it is becoming clear that inland waters process large amounts of organic carbon and must be considered in strategies to mitigate climate change. A tmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations increased from ~280 ppm before the industrial revolution to over 384

Humans are facing serious problems due to the fact that we are destroying our planet. The root of our troubles begins with the division of labor. In The Wealth of Nations‚ Adam Smith claims that the division of labor saves time by “[increasing] the quantity of work‚” but most importantly it allowed for the invention of new machines (7-9). The organization of labor along with new technology raises productivity‚ and this eventually led to the green revolution (c 20 Feb‚ 2017). The green revolution

Catherine Romero Tropical Ecology PBA Mr. Mahrer (B-Band) THE BORNEO RAINFOREST The tropical rainforest is earth’s most complex biome in terms of both structure and species diversity. Tropical Rainforests can be found in South and Central America‚ Africa‚ Oceania (the islands around Australia)‚ and Asia (15).Tropical rainforests cover only about 7% of the Earth’s surface (13‚ )All Tropical Rainforests have similar characteristics including climate‚ precipitation‚ etc. They are located in a band

The decomposition chamber contains items that will work as decomposers and as a possible catalyst for plant growth. Examples of possible things to add to the decomposition chamber are leaves and compost. Lastly‚ the terrestrial chamber contains a small plant or seed as well as soil and/or fertilizer or
