out it can be adjusted‚ show if there is good availability to the plants foods‚ and is an important indicator of air pollutants. A second measure I would take is to use the method of conservative tillage‚ where farmers disturb surface topsoil and vegetation minimally. The reason I would not use no-till cultivation because it requires the use of pesticides which can harm the surrounding ecosystems. I would also use humus while preparing my land because it adds organic matter to the soil. Looking ahead

Pastoralism is an excellent way of converting into food the vegetation which grows as a result of the irregular and variable rainfall on large areas of arid and semi-arid rangelands. On of the main types of pastoral systems that are practised is pastoral nomadism. Nomadic pastoralists make the best use of marginal

The meteor impact raised a huge cloud of dust that blotted out the sun‚ and caused the gradual demise of a) the earth’s vegetation‚ b) the herbivorous dinosaurs that fed on that vegetation‚ and c) the carnivorous dinosaurs that fed on the herbivorous dinosaurs. This process may have taken as long as 200‚000 years‚ still a blink of the eye in

As the dry season lengthens trees will have more time to dry out so there is likely to be an increased incidence of
