The Temperate Deciduous Forest The temperate deciduous forest is located in Canada, Japan, China, Japan, parts of Russia, and the eastern half of United States. Everywhere there in those places were described as beautiful and majestic. When the leaves fall down from the trees down to the soil, the nutrients in the leaves are being absorbed by the soil. The soils of the temperate deciduous forest tend to be very fertile. Also, because of this, the biome has fertile soil and a long, 5-6 month…

Learning about Animal and People Minds Ever since I can remember I have been interested in and fascinated by animals. It is possible that my love for animals came from watching Disney movies such as The Lion King and One Hundred and One Dalmatians. My curiosity increased when I read Temple Grandin’s book Animals in Translation. Grandin discusses how animals think and communicate by using examples such as what melanin does in the brain (78). I have also grown up with animals throughout my life…

generations at an immense pace. Every year, almost 1 billion tons of carbon enter our atmosphere as a result of deforestation (Bradford). Global warming will only get worse as time goes on, but the speed of it can be reduced. If countries choose to plant more forests and cut down fewer trees, more carbon will be retained inside them. As global warming intensifies, the risk of forest fires increases significantly (“Deforestation.”). As a result, even more trees will burn and input their carbon…

with our essential day-to-day needs such as coffee. {Coffee is derived from the coffee plant, and is crucial to most humans on the planet to get their morning jolt of energy, which helps keep productivity high.

specifically in drought. In situations of long periods of drought it has been researched that oak trees lose their ability to effectively perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which sunlight is converted in to chemical energy. Plants make their own food by using energy from the sun to make glucose. There is a practical reasoning behind understanding if adaptations in leaf traits, water transport, osmotic potentials, root depth, and tissue elasticity allow for better survival…

effects of run-off, evapotranspiration, and water penetration. Its common knowledge that vegetation needs water to grow and reproduce but on the steepest slopes the support for plant life is very low. Steep slopes produce high levels of soil erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure of sunlight on vegetation that can also vary growth outcomes. Slopes facing different directions may have similar precipitation…
