Therefore, understanding the term 《Rainforest in English》, and the ecological and linguistic nuances associated with it, is a crucial step toward fostering greater appreciation and promoting effective conservation efforts for these vital ecosystems. 本文仅代表作者观点,不代表百度立场...
In a tropical rainforest days usually last 12 hours, with temperatures averaging around 77 degrees F. A surplus of rain and high insolation (sunlight) are other year-round attributes of a tropical rainforest. Tropical rainforests cover the Amazon region, as well as equatorial regions in Africa,...
Ecologists estimate that there is an ecological threshold at 30% forest cover in the biome below which there will be a precipitous decline in biodiversity and an associated loss of ecological functions, including many that are essential to agriculture. Forest cover is currently below this level, ...
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...
Forests do not preclude autotrophy, however, because light may still be high seasonally, leading to autotrophic periods in the winter or spring (Roberts and others 2007; Bott and others 1985) or due to damage to forest canopies by wildfires (Klose and others 2015), late frost (Mulholland and...
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
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...
