Destroying the Rain Forests: Human effects on Natures The rain forests are one of the most unique places on the planet earth. They are home to several thousand species of animals that live no where else in the world1. They are also one of the primary sources of oxygegn of the world. One cannot even begin to describe the sheer beauty of the rain forests. However, the interaction of man with these marvels of nature has had a negative effect. Through agriculture, societal development and the search

One and a half acres of the rain forest-“the Lung of the Earth”, are lost every second. In fact, they now cover only a mere 6% of the earth's land surface compared with 14% when humankind first settled. Experts estimate that the last remaining rain forests could be consumed in less than 40 years. Obviously, deforestation has been becoming an alarming phenomenon for the whole world. Writing about this issue, Laura Lopen, John Maier and Dick Thompson express some quite strong opinions. In “Playing
A study by Mongbay shows a loss since 1978 until today of about 79% of forest deforestation. Decades ago when humans first occupied the earth and began to use fire; deforestation slow began. History has changed and so has technology and methods. The axe has evolved into a chainsaw which accelerates the process of deforestation. Chopping down trees has been the human quest for shelter, food, and warmth. Trees provide humans with wood for shelter. Wood also provides fire for fuel to keep us warm at

3. ALGORITHM BASIS 3.1. Random forest The random forest is an ensemble learning algorithm that combines the ideas of “bootstrap aggregating” [20] and “random subspace method” [21] to construct randomized decision trees with controlled variation, introduced by Breiman [22]. According to the theory of random forest algorithm, for a collection of classifiers h1(x), h2(x), . . . , hK(x), and with the training set at random from sampled random vector Y, X, the margin function is termed as: (1) where
In the article “Fewer Rain Forests Mean Less Energy for Developing Nations, Study Finds” By, Felicity Barringer she discusses how the loss of tropical rain forest has contributed to worldwide climate change, destroys maintenances of indigenous societies; and could more than likely reduce rainfall which would harm certain countries that rely on water for their power source. “They removed so much forest that it reduced rainfall and reduced the stream flow.”(Barringer)
determine the boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra, taiga, tropical rain forest, temperate forests, desert, grassland, savanna, chaparral, and marine. Each biome has it’s own characteristics such as the tundra. The tundra is a biome that is located in the Northern Hemisphere of the world. It circles the North Pole and
