Damage and Recovery Assessment The methods employed in this study were based from Roth (1992) and Taylor et al. (2013) with some modifications. In the island of Butig‚ seven 100 m2 plots were established. The plots established were based on the vegetation types present. I. Species Composition All mangroves rooted within the plots were recorded and identified in situ. The Handbook of Mangroves in the Philippines – Panay by Primavera et al.

Keystone species are species of animals that other species and the entire ecosystem depend on. Sea otters and elephants both play major roles in their ecosystems‚ as they are both keystone species. Without these two species‚ their ecosystems would have drastic changes in the environment in which many organisms and species would not be able to survive. If the sea otters and elephants were to leave the ecosystem it would cause a domino effect. The domino effect would make other species disappear

variety of impacts on different regions around the world. The geographic features can change the way people live. For example MOST deserts have a hot‚ dry climate and has a limited supply of a water. However it is found that some desserts have vegetation and water found located throughout the desert so not all deserts are dry with no water. A positive impact it may have is that it can act as a natural barrier. So it may keep enemies out or make it harder for them to attack because of the dunes or

a tropical rain forest biome‚ there are three layers. These layers include the top trees‚ followed by the canopy layer characterized by dens leaves hence low light penetration and the third layer are the ground layer. The ground layer lacks any vegetation owing to the low amount of sunlight reaching it due to the dense canopy layer. 2. Changes happening in Madagascar pose challenges to lemurs in the island. The main changes that affect the lemurs include the effects of agricultural activities on

Scientists have counted about 100-300 species in one 2 ½ acre area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as the location‚ climate‚ geography‚ vegetation‚ animals‚ plants‚ etc. The tropical rainforest can be found in three major geographical areas around the world: Central America in the Amazon River basin‚ Africa- Zaire basin‚ with a small area in West

States. Average January temperatures in the Rocky Mountains can range from -20 °F to 43 °F‚ with the average precipitation being between 10 to 60 inches per year. There are three main levels of vegetation in the Rocky Mountain vicinity‚ the montane‚ the subalpine‚ and the alpine levels. The type of vegetation that is able to grow in each surrounding area is based on the atmospheric conditions in the area‚ which are influenced by several factors including elevation‚ precipitation‚ and air pollution

predator species once played in parts of the West and the Great Plains. Disrupting the Ecosystem Due to the over hunting of the gray wolfs‚ large numbers of vegetation was destroyed due to overgrazing of herd animals that the gray wolf once hunted. This caused soil erosion‚ threatened other wildlife species that depended on vegetation for survival‚ and beavers who were essential to the wetlands. According to Miller‚ T.‚ Spoolman‚ S.
