What is the role of plants in the water cycle? How does water cycle through the biosphere? How do organisms contribute to the carbon cycle? How do trees affect the carbon cycle? How do forest fires affect the water cycle? How does the water cycle affect the atmosphere?
This lesson will lead students to think about the question "where does the rainwater come from and where does it go?", observe the movement of water droplets on the glass of ice water. By using soil, water and plastic box to build a simple water cycle model, they will explore the forma...
How does pollution affect water sustainability? Water Quality and Sustainability: Water is more than just hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Unless it has been distilled or deionized, water contains dissolved minerals and organic material. Defining water quality encompasses its' intended use. Drinking water in...
How does energy ultimately leave the biosphere? How does purple needlegrass adapt to grassland biomes? How do forest fires affect the biosphere? Why is the savanna biome important? How does water cycle through the biosphere? Why can many ecosystems exist in one biome? How are tropical rainforest...
At the biosphere level, ecosystems also self-organize. This is a central aspect of the Gaia hypothesis102,103,104, which defends that our planet self-regulates its own conditions that allow life to thrive. Self-organization can be useful to study how ecosystems can be robust, resilient, or ...
However, illegal logging in the protected Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, which houses part of the monarch's overwintering grounds, threatens the butterflies' survival. Without lots of trees in their overwintering grounds, monarchs have no place to hibernate or begin the next generation of butterflies....
PB defines and seeks to quantify nine essential biophysical processes that regulate the stability of the Earth's system: biosphere integrity, climate change, novel entities, stratospheric ozone depletion, atmospheric aerosol loading, ocean acidification, biochemical flows, freshwater use, and land-system ...
The book, Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson is regarded as the most significant environmental novel as it was the start of the environmental movement. This book highlights the human poisoning of the biosphere through chemicals aimed at pests and disease control, particularly dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane...
Thus, fire temporally regulates the regional C balance of all these areas (Kashian et al., 2006; Kasischke et al., 1995). At the time of burning, large amounts of C are released to the atmosphere through the combustion of plant biomass and soil organic matter (SOM). However, while ...
