Environment And Human Environment

The ecosystem of a tropical rainforest is comprised of different functions and structures. There are abiotic and biotic components that make up the ecosystem along with the biogeochemical cycle. There will be an investigated look on 1 natural and 1 human cause of disturbance to the tropical rainforest ecosystem and how sustainability can be applied and humans can act as good stewards to support in the reclamation efforts of the tropical rainforest.

Rainforests are known to be critically important for human wellbeing and are often referred to as the lungs of the planet. This is because, rainforests not only absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen that all animals depend on for survival but due to the fact they also help stabilize climate, provide a home to many plants and animals, maintain the water cycle, protect the human population against flood, drought & erosion, and are a source for medicines and foods. Rainforest also happen to support tribal people and are known to be an interesting place to visit. Abiotic factors are referred to as non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems (Dictionary.com, 2017). Some examples of abiotic factors in the Amazon forest include water cycle, temperature and carbon cycle. Additionally, the living components of an ecosystem also referred to as the biotic factors (Dictionary.com, 2017) are elements of the Amazon forest. This includes the organisms living in the ecosystem and the present food chain. Altogether, these are factors and components that are seen in the Amazon forest, despite the deteriorating status of the rainforest due to human activities within the ecosystem. With these activities currently occurring, the amazon rainforest could potentially be eliminated if action is not taken.

Environmental pollution can adversely influence the ecosystem by minimizing the health and safety of the neighboring environment much needed for the organisms’ to existence. Habitat destruction is the second hazard that comes from human life increasing. To maintain human’s keep living, it is required to create regions for urban development, agriculture, and other much needed elements and pleasing living factors. Then again, the necessities to please the life of humans pose a threat to the life of organisms in the particular area. In the temperate forest ecosystem, numerous abiotic features play a part of its continued existence between the local organisms. The abiotic factors, which are nonliving factors that affect living organisms, are example things like its weather, light source, temperature, soil, minerals, air and water. The combination of these elements aid in the survival of the ecosystem alone and provide certain survival of the organisms in the environment (Viau, 2000). The organisms in the temperate forest ecosystem have undergone adjustments to assist or sustain the available resources and live through in the surrounding environment. Suitable modification ensures the survival of an organism in a particular

The audience of this book is presumed to be the general person who is not fully intact with the ideas that he or she is disrupting the ecosystem and is not aware of the effects they are doing as a whole. The book argues that no ecosystem is completely inert as things such as climate changes or drought can also affect the enviorment. Without human interaction an environment can still have issues, but the introduction of human life and economy does take a grave toll on the climate. These are irreversible effects that mankind are doing to the ecosystem. The English

The rainforest is a very important part of our ecosystem. But it is getting destroyed by humans.

The contemporary social phenomenon that I would like to discuss is the topic involving the destruction of ecosystems. Like a human community, an ecosystem operates in a similar fashion with plants, animals and other living things sharing an environment's resources such as air, food, and water (soil in the case of plants). In order for the ecosystem to maintain itself every living organism has to play a part in retaining the balance, but when this balance is disrupted the impact can be significant for many of the living things that rely on the ecosystem. An area with an issue such as this is the Amazon rainforest located in Brazil, which has one of the most complex ecosystem environments in the world and yet suffers from the ongoing act of deforestation

What are we doing to our environment? This is a question many people have asked but never quite been able to answer in the fullest way. How do we find out the answer then you ask? By multiple sources. There’s the ‘scare’ tactic, saying what could happen in the future if we don’t change our ways. There’s the ‘inspirational’ tactic which spreads the word of all good that we can, should, or maybe even have done to our environment. And last but not least, the ‘fiction transformation’ tactic which turns something that we would read ourselves or maybe to our children to open up our eyes of what’s going on. Why is this important to even know? Many different ‘eco enthusiasts’ express their research on the environment, this general tactic is called ecocriticism. Ecocriticism is where authors analyze texts that embellish environmental concerns and study the various

The biome ecosystem of the rainforest is a wonderful place, full of animals, color, and life. It has the largest diversity of living organism and plants on earth, with rich biodiversity. The Rainforest supports about 50% of the plants and animal living on earth. The rainforest is located in a tropical region. This allows them to receives lots of sunlight, giving plants the energy they need and a wide variety of food for the organisms. The rainforest provides an abundance of sources of shelter, food, and hiding places for animals to grow and develop. The rainforest not only provides life for plants and animals but is also provides life to human beings like us. The rainforest plays many roles in our life. Which includes absorbing the carbon dioxide, and producing

There are many issues that the rainforest biome has. One of the biggest problems is that people cut down millions of trees each year. At the rate that lumberjacks are moving, in each hour of the day, 1,000 to 3,000 acres of the rainforest are destroyed. 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 acres are being destroyed each year. The lumberjacks cut down these trees for firewood, houses, and for other money making industries. This destruction is mainly

In conclusion, the human and physical factors are as important as each other in causing change, positively and negatively, in ecosystems. However within these categories there are some factors which are more important than others for example the physical factors which are essential for the growth of plants are more important than those which change rates of growth or the types of species which they cause to grow in different areas. Obviously the most important human factor

For convenience the review is organized around the following domains: ecosystem, cultural system, change, and research trends and needs. An ecosystem is composed of abiotic and biotic components which interact through the flow of energy, matter, and information, and all of this varies in space and time. (67)

To explain, the tropical rainforest ecosystem has a strong connection to each other, but vulnerable, so a little change can ruin the ecological balance and caused some species are highly endangered (Greenhall,2008). Therefore,

I believe that the ways human beings behave can affect the environment in good and bad ways. The environment is a reflection of us and we are a reflection of the environment. Since everything is interconnected, it is a given that if there is something abnormal going on in the environment then it is because we are not doing things in harmony with the ecosystem. For example, Living in an urban setting like a city is very different than living in a suburban setting or rural setting. I believe the air quality is much different compared to both because there are factories and industrial companies in the urban environment and much more trees in the suburban/rural setting; In the major cities in the U.S for example, we can make that distinction. In

Rainforests are one of the biggest victims to biodiversity loss and deforestation. They cover only 7% of the world's surface but house about half of all the plant and animal species on the earth. If human manufactured deforestation occurs in the rainforests many of the smaller more secluded species are at high risk for extinction. Some animals only live in certain portions of the rainforest and if that certain part is taken out, so is that species.

Social environment of an individual is defined by “living and working environment of one person and community characteristics and able to be “experienced at numerous scales, frequently at the same time, including households, kin networks, neighborhoods, town, cities and regions”. This includes historical and authority relationships within communities. Schwanen and Mokhtarian (2005) defined as person environment healthy and residential neighborhood type “dissonance” is two associated concepts that have been used to deal with social determinants of behavior. The second concept has been used to see the sights mode choice in the situation of residential self-selection.
