This is because the nutri-ents are stored in the huge numbers of trees and plants rather than in the soil. Tree roots bind the soil together, while the canopy(树荫) protects the soil from heavy rain.When it dies and its trunk falls to the forest floor, a tree breaks down and the ...
You can find these amphibians are found all over the world, from tropical rainforests to backyard ponds. But what do frogs eat?
Investigates the contribution of deep tree roots to the nutrition of a tropical rainforest along an edaphic transect in French Guyana. Occurrence of loamy saprolite in the area; Analysis of tree leaves for major nutrients and strontium isotopic ratios; Range of leaf isotopic ratio.Poszwa...
“There isn’t a great deal to do here,” admitted Alison, one of the owners of Temple Tree, as we sat and chatted. “Things here tend to be a little more expensive than Penang and there isn’t such a variety of crafts. People come here for the beaches, the solitude, and the ...
Enemies control the tree diversity in tropical rainforests (Credits: leungchopan/Envato Elements) The strength of this enemy-mediated control mechanism is highest right in the vicinity of an adult tree of the same taxon and diminishes as one moves away from that individual in the forest. ...
One day I’ll settle down, and when I do, it’ll be in some lush, tropical place. Maybe Queensland will be that place. Here you’ll find one of the oldest continuous tropical rainforests in the world (it dates back to the age of the dinosaurs!). There are great places to go hikin...
The rough steps and stony pathways propel you ever higher above the tree line, past lunar rockfaces, high-alpine grasslands, and tangled carpets of ferns, rhododendrons and bamboo. At Panalaban (3272m/10,735ft), you'll bed down in a hostel for the night…or at least for a few fitful...
The original river was crystal clear, small fish playing in the water. The original flowers in full bloom, tree-lined, grass out of the head, the earth a life. Why is the weather so gloomy, because the dust flying in the sky.
What adaptations allow conifers to live in dry habitats? Do ferns reproduce asexually? How does the starfish adapt to the aquatic biome? How fast do staghorn ferns grow? What are some characteristics of the tropical rainforest biome? How fast do tree ferns grow? How do frogs adapt to their...
As far as is known, all squamate reptiles and amphibians use only two fluorescence mechanisms: (1) the inherent fluorescence of bone35, or (2) chemicals circulated in the lymph. In amphibians, lymph-based fluorescence is thought to be widespread15, and has been well studied in treefrogs of...
