The Forest Imperative The world’s forests—which today cover 30% of the earth’s land surface—are an incredibly valuable resource, storing massive amounts of carbon, helping to purify water and air, ensuring natural biodiversity, and providing livelihoods for millions of people. But despite the...
How does the hydrologic cycle purify water? How would another ice age affect the water cycle? How was the water cycle discovered? What is the importance of water cycle in nature? How is rain formed in the water cycle? How does precipitation return to the water cycle?
These examples show us how our actions can be very costly to people and the economy.Losing ecosystem services has serious effects on people's lives and health. When the Catskill watersheds became too small to purify water well, the drinking water in nearby New York City became unhealthy.68 ...
