Temperate rainforest

forefront the major impacts that deforestation has on Chiles’ environment and animals living in the Valdivian Coastal Reserve, which is part of the worlds temperate rainforest. Chile is known for their abundance of forest and biodiversity. The Valdivian Coastal Reserve contains a variety of temperate broadleaf flora and is a mixed-forest eco-region located on the west coast of South America, Chile, and Argentina. Most of the Valdivian Coastal Reserve rainforest is located in Chile. The forest has many bamboos and ferns, and evergreen trees. According to Veblem Delmastro, who is an expert in biogeography, forest ecology, landscape ecology and the ecological aspects of global environmental change says that Chile has faced many disturbances to their forests due to…

The Great Bear Rainforest is a temperate rainforest of 6.4 million hectares, home to many rare and endangered species, as well as watersheds that provide the best salmon runs left in Canada. Unfortunately, the Great Bear Rainforest is under threat due to clearcutting and its effects on the environment. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, “30% of logging in the Great Bear Rainforest has been in watersheds since 2001”, meaning the water quality of that area has been affected. As for…

is provided by the Amazon Rainforest (“25+ Spectacular Facts”). This statistic does not include smaller forests such as temperate forests, boreal forests, and coniferous forests. These forests make a small impact on overall oxygen levels, but their contribution will be noticed if they disappear. A forest can be described as a large tract of land covered with trees and underbrush (“Forest”). The disappearance of these forests can happen in several ways, some of which, cause even more damage.…

atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Ecosystems become at risk when they endure amounts of interactions and stress which exceed its carrying capacity. In order to counteract this, ecosystems must be managed effectively. Management can be broken down into two broad categories: traditional and contemporary management. It is evident through the case studies; the Daintree Rainforest and Bicentennial Park the ecological sustainability of these traditional and contemporary management…

These forests have been mostly cut down for farming land, as well as for the obtainment of materials for construction and fuel. Sadly, the World Resources Institute calculated that only about twenty two percent of the original parts of the forest that cover the world continue to be untouched. Some of these areas are located in Canada, Russia, and the tropical forest of the northwest Amazon. Forests cover more than one quarter of the total land area in the earth, and more than fifty percent of…

the sound of a chainsaw destroying animal and plant life after the collapse of a towering kapok tree in the Amazon. The Amazon rainforest is a massive ecosystem that scientists are still trying to uncover today. Deforestation is widespread across the world's forests. Deforestation started in the Mesolithic Period some 15,000 years ago when trees were cleared for livestock (Britannica). Deforestation has been an ongoing debate for a number of years. Supporters of deforestation argue that…

Rainforests are beautiful ecosystems where trees, plants, insects, and other wildlife thrive. There are rainforests all over the world; even some in the United States. The rainforest holds many wonders humans have yet to discover. The largest and oldest ecosystems on Earth are rainforests. There can be as many as 500 tons of living things per acre. Over 50% of the world’s animal and plant species are found in the rainforest. Four layers make up the rainforest; the first of the four is the…

Each rainforest differs in the animals it inhabits. Some of the animals that can be found are insects, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals (EL, 2014: para.4). The animals live in the four layers of the rainforest. The Emergent layer: This is for animals such as parrots, vultures and eagles, macaws. The vultures help eat the dead animals which help keep the rainforest clean, the birds from this layer also help to create new plants in this rainforest by eating seeds then dropping them…

A world without forests is unimaginable. They are amid the planet’s most unique ecosystems, accounting for nearly three quarters of our earthly biodiversity. Forests provide countless benefits such as habitats for animals, unique ecosystems with a variety of plants and bacteria, and a large variety of ecological services. They are beneficial to humans, their inhabitants, and the earth in which we live. However, recent studies reveal that deforestation has diminished nearly three-quarters of…

Okapi I will be talking about the Okapi. I will be talking about what kind of habitat they have and how they live in it plus how the habitat is being hurt. I will also be talking about what kinds of different food they can eat. Plus how they reproduce and what's been cutting down their reproduction. And how we are trying to save them. What the beautiful animal looks like and why people want to kill them. What impact we have on the animal. And finally, how many are left on this Earth, that's what…
