This affects plants in a harmful way because then they can’t reproduce and people who get food from plants will be unable to continue to do so. Another problem that is occurring in the tropical rain forest is hunting. Unfortunately, there aren’t many protection laws against hunting which makes it legal for people to hunt. The problem is people hunt the main predators and then the prey of the animal overpopulates and messes up the ecosystem.

The story is not all sad, a lot of Africans are helping the environment by planting the

The cycling in the ecosystems will eventually not happen so the ecosystem will fall apart. Other trees that have already grown are blocking the sunlight from reaching the sprouts. In other words many sprouts are competing for the sparse amount of sunlight. The sprouts may also be competing for water and other ingredients necessary to grow.…

    Thus supporting the hypothesis that a change in vegetation occurs based on the supply of water and soil moisture that is dependent on the slope of the forest floor. Also a difference in variation of phenotypes at the different sites also infer adaptations to their environment like leaf size and tree height. From our data white oak and short leaf pine were observed more often in the dry site than the wet site. This infers that these species prefer more sunlight exposure for optimal growth however but still have the potential to grow in dry and wet sites. Even though these species, like some others, can live in both areas, species like yellow poplar, southern sugar maple, American beech, black gum, tulip tree, and red oak could not grow in dry areas.…
