Tropical rainforest

When I was ten years old, my mother and I went on a month long trip to Quito, Ecuador to visit my father and other family. One day my abuelo (my grandfather) told my mom and I that he was going to take us on a trip to the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Although this probably sounds really interesting, I was against this trip from the first mention of it. However, since I was ten, my objection meant nothing and the trip happened as planned. We got up very early the day of the trip, a factor…

In the world richest biotope, wetlands, and specially floodplains, remain particularly active zones in terms of nutrients, biodiversity, flows spreading, sediment transfer and human activities. Today, these sensitive zones are facing increasing human pressures and augmentation in frequency and intensity of extreme hydrological events. The impact of such extreme events on floodplain ecology and biogeochemistry is still difficult to assess. In this context, hydrodynamic models are attractive tools…

one place, it will spread out to the places which are near to desert area. In addition, desertification can increase the concentration of suspended particulates and it is linked to causing respiratory system’s diseases. Many species live in the rainforest, so many of them were threatened by deforestation. In this way, the biodiversity is also decreasing. Besides, many or even uncountable number of trees were cut down, the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide will be broken. Thus, deforestation…

Mato Grosso used to stand for nearly a third of the total Brazilian deforestation. It is also currently the leading state for both soy and beef production (Fearnside & Figueiredo, 2015). With initiatives from private stakeholders and government, Mato Grosso’s share of deforestation has been steadily decreasing since 2008 (Fearnside & Figueiredo, 2015). Three major stakeholders were identified in the beef value chain and the institutions that frame their workings (Figure 5). Figure 5: Image…

This tropical biome has as many as 100 different tree species on a single acre.” “Access to the sea within a country, not just the distance from international markets, is crucial for economic accessibility” Latin America has large populations even in…
