In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities and biosphere. A species is a group of organisms that look alike and have similar characteristics‚ share the same roles in an ecosystem and are capable

We were walking through the forest; we had just got out from school. I was taking a look behind me and see Sarah running trying to keep up with my pace. “Slow down‚ I can’t keep up with your pace” she said breathing heavy from running so much.

The low-stature of vegetation confers high light availability‚ leaving many grasslands naturally vulnerable to invasive species (Wagner‚ 1989)‚ especially following disturbance (Hobbs and Huenneke‚ 1992).

Conservationists have stopped illegal roads from building but the biggest ecological problem is destructive farming techniques. This method involves clear cutting trees to create sunny plantations. It’s eating away from the border of the forest. The solution that these conservationists have is to promote shade grown planation which will help the rainforest and increase the income of local framers. The conservationists that are responsible for this solution are The
