They are found in areas with warm, moist summers and mild winters.
Background:
Highgate wood is designated as semi-natural ancient woodland. This supports a large number of species, a number which are listed as vulnerable, particularly those species that require stable unchanging conditions in order to survive.
In terms of diversity, there are over 900 invertebrate species, 338 moth species, 353 fungi species, 70 bird species, and 7 bat species have been recorded.
Current management action:
There are a variety of habitats within the woodland areas. These niche habitats are mostly located within the seven existing conservation areas that have been created since 1977
The management of the conservation areas has been varied and evolved over time, in response to successes and opportunities for habitat diversity
Protective dead hedges have been established around areas with dense bluebell growth and dominating species such as holly and beech is kept in check.
Continue creating small conservation areas to encourage regenerative growth
Focus on conserving stock of oak standards as “key stone” …show more content…
This is sprayed with herbicide twice a year. The objective is to remove the non-native, invasive species completely
Serengeti National Park
Topic: tropical grassland biome
Background
It is located in the equator, between Tanzania and Kenya
It has a size of 14,763 miles2
The average temperature is of 22.9 oC
The driest month in the Serengeti is of 20 mm and the month wit the most precipitation is of 152 mm
The amount of vegetation in the Serengeti is low due to the low rainfall abd because there is lots competition between plants for the water
The main species in the National park are the:
Acacia tree
Baobab
Cordon/ Bermuda/ Elephant grass Human impact
Today, the Serengeti ecosystem is about 40% of what it historically was, much of this has to do with the development of agriculture and settlements. There are twenty tribes living around or in close proximity to the protected, and the increasing population causes a need for more development to sustain the population, which in turn deteriorates the
