Geog 100 Nov 7th ‚ 2013 Strategies to living in a warmer world The Earth’s climate is never in a state of homeostasis (1)‚ there has always been and there will always be climate change in the world‚ so to think about climate change as something out of the ordinary is simply not correct. We know the climate changes and have dealt with it before (2) but the challenge becomes more apparent as our communication as well as population grow exponentially. Today there is another difference‚ as now we

Abstract Based on regional-scale studies‚ aboveground production and litter decomposition are thought to positively covary‚ because they are driven by shared biotic and climatic factors. Until now we have been unable to test whether production and decomposition are generally coupled across climatically dissimilar regions‚ because we lacked replicated data collected within a single vegetation type across multiple regions‚ obfuscating the drivers and generality of the association between production

designed to decrease soil erosion are wind breaks‚ such as a wall‚ or the planting of trees to keep the soil in place with the roots of the tree. Other ways to avoid erosion are terracing‚ mulching‚ land leveling‚ or conservation tillage. D) One biome that is rich in humus is grassland soil. Humus originated in it because it is semiarid climate and little rainfall is seen in the grassland creating less leeching than most soil types. This creates a large buildup of organic material and humus. Another
