Forestry

The deciduous forests in Canada are temperate, and usually appear between the 25 and 50 north parallel. They consist mainly of hardwood and broadleaf trees, which in turn, consist of Maple, Oak, Beech, eand Elm tres. Deciduous Forests occupy a relatively small area of Canada, and have mild climates, with 750-1500 mm of rainfall a year, and a mean temperature of 10 degrees celsius. Deciduous forests are also one of the few forests that do go through 4 seasons. Raccons are found here, as well as…

of the land. Gifford Pinchot is the founder and the strongest leader of the U.S Conservation movement in the 19th century.

so that means in the future they will need some more firefighters. After 1910, the United States Congress met for preventing and controlling forest fires. This made the Forest Service to get anything it needed. This helped the Forest Service get forestry departments in their own towns and timber protection. On July 12, 1940, Forest Service employees Earl Cooley and Rufus Robinson made the first ever parachute jump on a forest fire(http://www.forestservicemuseum.org/programs/wildland_fire.html)…

Western Cordillera After nearly 720 km of walking, I’ve arrived at one of the highest points in the Western Cordillera. My legs and back are sore from climbing the steep and twisting mountains, while my entire body is frozen from the ice and snow. But the sight I see now is definitely worth it. Everywhere, all of it, is beautiful. The mountains I see are the very jewels of nature, hardly affected by the booming forces of erosion. These are colossal proofs of the Western’s Cordillera’s status as…

On August 23, 2005, Hurricane Katrina was first recognized as the twelfth tropical depression and has formed over the Bahamas. The weather system or tropical depression was about 350 miles east of Miami. On the following day, the weather system gained strength and was given the name of tropical storm Katrina. Still off the east coast of Florida the winds begins to blow at about 40 miles per hour. On August 25, 2005, Katrina is now classified as a hurricane (category one) and winds are…

Respiration (Short-term storage) Carbon that is stored in plants, animals and all living things is released back into the atmosphere during the process of respiration. Energy is required for all living things to carry out life processes therefore stored glucose must be converted to energy by respiration. Oxygen is used to break down carbon stored as sugar for energy by the process of respiration. Carbon dioxide is released as a waste product back into the atmosphere C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O…

1.1 Background and problem statement Mangroves are tropical and sub-tropical woody trees that grow naturally in brackish waters within the intertidal zone. Mangrove ecosystems are highly productive and rich in biodiversity and offer a variety of goods and services, both economic and ecological. The estimated total area of mangroves is just above 150,000 km2, divided by 123 countries worldwide (Spalding et al., 2010). In tropical regions, these ecosystems constitute about 0.7 % of the total…

2. The important smart strategies to deal with the current problems facing agrobiodiversity, CC and food security. (question 3 of Chapter 3) Subsequently, agricultural expansion has contributed to widespread land degradation and climatic changes through the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from sources, such as soils, biomass burning, enteric fermentation, rice cultivation, fertilisers and manure management. Climate change and land degradation are intricately linked because of the feedback…
