Acres of forest are being mowed down by companies to feed their ever growing corporate empires and without being conscious about the problem that leads humanity in

Environmentally‚ it causes global warming‚ soil erosion‚ decline in biodiversity‚ degraded ecosystem and water- cycle.[1] Economically and ethically‚ the deforestation caused by logging and commercial agriculture by the developed countries‚ like the U.S. The people in developing countries

that we are facing: illegal logging. Forests in the tropics have a rich biodiversity. More than fifty percent of all the plants and animals in the world are to be found in the rainforests. More than 3500 species of plants and animals! The constantly high temperatures and the continuously high humidity in the tropics make this biodiversity possible. The temperature is in most tropical rainforests between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately‚ the forests are threatened. David Orr correctly observed

throughout. It has tropical forests in the eastern region‚ dry forests in the southwestern region‚ man-made grasslands‚ natural wetlands‚ and coral reefs on the coasts. The most common ecosystem is the rainforest. The lowland rainforest’s elevation is about 800 meters. It is the most biologically rich ecosystem in Madagascar. They are very humid and rainy. Typically lowland rainforests have very well developed canopies. Lowland equatorial evergreen rain forests are forests which receive high rainfall

and the deciduous forest are not too different from each other. However‚ the Plant Respiration (RP) in the forest is almost double that in the alfalfa field. What factors (physical‚ chemical‚ or biological) do you think might explain this difference? The difference would have to be the biological and physical factors. The reason for this is the cycle in deciduous forest goes through. Tree insects and diseases are most common in older forests. They help to rejuvenate the forest by decomposing organic

The trees of the Amazon forest should not be cut down for any reason because this would create many problems for Rubber Tappers. In this research paper‚ the reasons to not cut down the trees will be explained. Some of those reasons are because for one the Rubber tappers make a living working in the forest‚ also the seeds of the trees where the rubber tappers get the sap from was stolen by a nefarious Englishman and made the rubber tappers that work in the Brazil industry collapse so the rubber tappers

Dry land tropical rainforests‚ mangroves and coral ecosystems are some of the key habitats found in Singapore. Singapore is a city-state with a land area of about 710 km. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and yet‚ harbours rich native biodiversity‚ both terrestrial and marine. The wealth of biodiversity can be attributed
