The number of spores in rainforests can be greater than in dry forests, and a high diversity can be observed, but similar and different AMF species are found among different forest types. The Murundu fields, the Rupestrian grasslands and the Ferruginous fields associated to Cerrado biome also ...
An ecosystem can be as small as a rock and what lives under it, or as large as an entire biome such as the rainforest. Ecosystems are comprised of living and non-living factors and how they interact. A worm or a spider may need to live under a rock for protection. In the rain...
The largest and highest-density irrecoverable carbon reserves are in the tropical forests and peatlands of the Amazon (31.5 Gt), the Congo Basin (8.2 Gt) and Insular Southeast Asia (13.1 Gt); the temperate rainforest of northwestern North America (5.0 Gt); the boreal peatlands...
tropical rainforestA warm and wet biome found between 20° N and 20° S of the equator, with little seasonal temperature variation and high precipitation. tropical seasonal forest/savannaA biome marked by warm temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons. tundraA cold and treeless biome with l...
Ecosystems can be small, such as the tide pools found near the rocky shores of many oceans, or large, such as those found in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon in Brazil (Figure 1 below). Figure 1. A (a) tidal pool ecosystem in Matinicus Island, Maine, is a small ecosystem, ...
Gap models are individual-based models for forests. They simulate dynamic multispecies assemblages over multiple tree-generations and predict forest responses to altered environmental conditions. Their development emphases designation of the significant
Bowman (2000) has recently comprehensively reviewed the evidence on factors limiting rainforest distribution in Australia. He concluded that intolerance of recurrent fire, rather than climate or soil, is the only factor that consistently explains the distribution of Australia's archipelago-like rain...
Why is the tropical rainforest biome important? Why is a grassland biome important for human populations? Why are the Ural Mountains important for geographers? Why do ecosystems usually contain only a few trophic levels? Why is biodiversity valuable in the biosphere? Why is groundwater important ...
