Coastal Rainforest In Southeast Alaska

The tundra is by far the coldest type of biome, as it is known for its low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Occurring primarily near the Arctic within the Northern Hemisphere, the soil may be frozen all year up to a few feet, which allows no tree growth. However, a few animals have adapted to these conditions. These animals include lemmings, hares, oxen, foxes, wolves, and more. Within the tundra biome there are two different types of tundra biomes, arctic tundra and alpine tundra.

Many people would find it easy to sympathize with the conservation of the natural, magnificent wilderness and all of its glory; and Subhankar Banerjee, the author of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land, A Photographic Journey, uses that sympathy to gain the reader’s support in his claims. While his article does offer a very compassionate viewpoint with vivid imagery to capture the reader’s attention, it lacks strong logos arguments to back up his claims and falls victim to a few major logical fallacy points that injure his stance.

Transcendent means beyond or above the range of normal or merely physical human experience. I think people would go to the Alaskan wilderness to find a deeper meaning in their life because they want to transcend into another stage in their life. The wilderness can be a great place to do that because it is isolated from society. Also you are one on one with nature and the wild is your playground. Noone is there to stop you or hold you back. All your thoughts are able to manifest freely. To reach that transcendent state requires sacrifices. Such as moving from society or your family. These things are needed because you are trying to dig deep inside yourself and while you do that you can’t be worried about the things around you. All distractions

An article on NPR titled, Landmark Deal Protects over 9 Million Acres of Canadian Rain Forest by Merritt Kennedy is considered a victory for the environment. After 10 years, a deal protecting over 9 million acres of Canadian rain forest is now permanent. The area is located on the Pacific Coast of British Columbia and it is about the size of Ireland. It is a vast piece of land named “The Great Bear Rainforest,” and according to the report, “represents the largest tracts of intact temperate rainforest on Earth." The forest has a complex mixture of oceans, mountains, fjord, old forest, and salmon streams. A rarity amongst rain forest on Earth, therefore it took several years of negotiation before reaching a deal.

The topography of the island is also of note. The west end of the island features a closed-canopy forest with more hardwood trees. The east end of the island is better characterized as a “boreal forest,” a term used to describe regions that are mostly covered by coniferous forests. It is good to note that the balsam fir is found on both ends of the island, but that samples used in the study from the west end of the island were, on average, older, but shorter, than those samples found on the east side of the island.

The Great Bear Rainforest is a thriving twenty-one million-acre forest. This ecosystem is the largest temperate rainforest and represents a quarter of all coastal temperate rainforests worldwide.(CITE) In the

The beautiful rare Daintree Rainforest land stretches out into a dense rainforest, that lays on lowland mountain ranges. With “fast flowing streams, waterfalls, and gorges” that twist and turn between the mountains that lead to the white sandy beaches that collide into the Coral Sea (“About the Daintree Rainforest”). The closely spaced trees cover (“Tropical Rainforest Biome”) the colorful flowers and plants throughout the rainforest (“About the Daintree Rainforest”). The Daintree Rainforest is a tropical rainforest biome that is “located on the northeast of Queensland, Australia” (“About the Daintree Rainforest”). Logging has been a problem to the one hundred and thirty-five million year old rainforest because they see the Daintree Rainforest

In "Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land" former President Carter tells American conservationists of the importance of the Alaskan refuge. Carter explains that he is passionate about the preservation of the area and what he has done to protect it and the animals that inhabit the tundra. Using language to paint a beautiful scene and explain personal accounts, the former President shows conservationists all over America that he is on their side.

"Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system that persists for several decades or longer" (Montgomery, 2015). Climate change (or global warming) can be caused by a natural progress such as sun 's radiations and volcanoes, or it can be caused by human 's actions such as land use, deforestation, and pollution. (Hardy, 2003).This phenomenon not only affects the environment, but it also affects human lives. Alaska is the largest state in the United States. It includes lands on both sides of the Arctic Circle. Sixteen national wildlife refuges are home to a great variety of flora and fauna. In the past 60 years. The Alaska 's environment changed drastically; the climate is warming up as twice as much in comparison to all the other states. This essay will discuss firstly the climate change in the Alaskan environment. Then it will highlight the changes in the ocean and costs, the effects that global warming is having on Alaska 's natives and the melting permafrost. It will then finally address who is responsible for this effects and some measures that can be taken.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, comprising more than nineteen million acres in the northern corner of Alaska, is unique and one of the largest units of the National Wildlife system. The Arctic Refuge has long been recognized as an unparalleled place of natural beauty and ecological importance. The Arctic Refuge was established to conserve fish and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity, as well as provide the opportunity for local residents to continue their subsistence way of life. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which

I am writing to you in regard to the Bridger -Teton National Forest. It is “the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 United States. Offering nearly 1.2 million acres of designated Wilderness, over 3,000 miles of road and trail and thousands of miles of unspoiled rivers and streams.” (USDA Forest Service)
