Tropical rainforests

The problem addressed in this article is the deforestation of tropical rainforests having detrimental impacts on the climate and putting agriculture at risk. The deforestation of tropical rainforests is caused by human activities. For example, humans use the trees from these forests to make furniture, use the forest area to make buildings (urbanization), and the land to produce agriculture (cattle ranches, farms). Deforestation in general is a problem because it accounts for 11 percent of global

biomes are terrestrial and aquatic. The main terrestrial biomes are: Tropical Rainforest This biome is the wettest of all the other terrestrial biomes with an average rainfall of 200 - 1000 cm of rain! The average temperature ranges from 27 to 32 degrees celsius. The trees can grow up to 30 metres tall, creating a canopy blocking out the sunlight. Most of the animals live in the canopy. The plants have shallow roots. The rainforest is home to insects, reptiles, arachnids, birds and mammals. Desert

Abiotic Factors Tropical Rainforest make up a total of 6% of all of earth’s land surface. Not surprisingly though, it produces 40% of all of earth’s oxygen. There are 4 levels to the tropical rainforest; emergent, upper canopy, understory, and forest floor. The rainforest received it’s name because of it’s self-watering system. Plants release water into the atmosphere through transpiration. This moisture usually has no place to go which creates a thick cloud cover over the rainforest causing the humid

rarely discussed. One of these “forgotten” events is the deforestation of the rainforests. Rainforest deforestation primarily started in the 1970’s, but has since increased. Up until recently, deforestation of rainforests was seldom talked about despite how much it has affected the world. Rainforest deforestation needs more attention because it has occurred for many decades despite the environmental damage, the rainforest is important for the economy, food, and medicinal purposes, it has many adverse

The Impacts of Deforestation in the Tropical Rainforest Deforestation is having an effect on all tropical rainforests. This is not just negative effects but also some very positive effects from the deforestation of the rainforests. From deforestation there are many problems that can be caused by this, environmental, social, economic and political issues all from the destruction of the rainforests across the world. There has been dramatic deforestation across the world

Loss of biodiversity is the gravest result of tropical deforestation. First of all, many breeds are pushed to the brink of extinction. The tropical rainforest is as known for having the greatest variety of species on Earth. Specifically, more than fifty percent of all species such as trees, plants, animals, insects on the planet live in the rainforest. However, human clear trees off the land and use for other purposes, these activities straightly affects to biodiversity and animal habitat even leads

TO DO FIRST IS GRACE COPY AND PASTE THE 1500 WORDS :))) Why is the tropical rainforest in crisis and what can be done about it? The tropical rainforest is located all around the world. For example, the Amazon Rainforest, the Colombian Rainforest and other small rainforests located in Central America. In 1990, rainforests were plentiful however until 2010, around an eighth of all the rainforests were cut down. The rainforest is mostly endangered by human interaction and climate change. Forests

Cloud forests are tropical ecosystems scattered throughout Central and South America, Africa, and Oceania (Scatena, Hamilton, & Juvik, 1995). Frequent, low level moisture shrouds the flora and fauna found in these jungles in a constant hazy mist. This fog cover differentiates the cloud forest environment from lowland tropical rainforests or temperate rainforests (Doumenge, 1995). To support an ecosystem, many processes such as photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, nutrient cycling, and predator-prey

The Causes and Effects of Deforestation in Tropical Rainforests Tropical rainforests are the most alive places on earth. Covering less than 12% of the land's surface, the rainforests are home to more than half of all living species (Lewis, 4). 90% of all non-primates reside in tropical rainforests. Two-thirds of known plants, 40% birds of prey, and 80% of all insects are found only in tropical rainforests. Of the 2.5 to 5 million animals species thought to exist, only
