a loss of 10,588 square miles. Also the INFP found that from August 2011 to July 2012, the country lost 1,765 square miles of Amazon forests. However, the rate of loss increased the following year, with the deforestation of 2,256 square miles of rainforest between August 2012 and July 2013.

On the Adirondack Trip, a nice man named Paul discussed how they were managing their forests. Their forest tree species composition has been changing with sugar maple trees were becoming less abundant. This is partly caused by beech trees outcompeting the maples due to the stressor of beech bark disease. When a beech tree is affected by the disease, the stressor stimulates the tree to respond through the production of root suckers. These root suckers, which are genetic clones of their parent…

The general goal of the study is to explain and find out the natural phenomena that impacts dying trees in our area. The key elements we are investigating is the plant pathogen,Phytophthora ramorum and the trees that are being affected and the host,Umbellaria californica. This is significant since billions of trees are dying at a rapid pace every year due to a new pathogen that causes Sudden Oak Death. The pathogen is called Phytophthora ramorum and it was recently discovered in the year of…

Deforestation is the process of clearing forests. Rates of deforestation are very eminent in the tropics, that contains poor quality of the soil has led to the practice of routine clear-cutting making new land available for farming purpose.

The deforestation of the Amazon remains a serious and widespread issue. Although the rate of destruction has…

Additionally, there's something you mentioned that I want to touch upon in reference to your statement: "Turnbull also touches on the fact that these are a dying people, and wants to preserve their history." I decided to do some poking around to see whether or not the Mbuti were still around even today, and I came across a pretty interesting article titled "Lured Toward Modern Life, Pygmy Families Left in Limbo." The article was published in the Washington Post back in 2006, and details how…
