C Human-led deforestation is linked to less rain in tropical rainforests, according to a new study.Robust (强健的) forests help produce rainfall in a process called moisture recycling. Essentially, trees absorb rainwater and release its moisture back into the atmosphere, contributing to cloud format...
Significant human impacts on tropical forests have been considered the preserve of recent societies, linked to large-scale deforestation, extensive and intensive agriculture, resource mining, livestock grazing and urban settlement. Cumulative archaeological evidence now demonstrates, however, thatHomo sapiensha...

Genetic effects of rainforest fragmentation in an early successional tree (Elaeocarpus grandis) Rainforests in Australia and around the world have been extensively cleared and degraded. It is essential to recognize the changes in population diversity ... M Rossetto,R Jones,J Hunter - 《Heredity》 ...
What are some negative effects man has impacted on earth? Describe what planet earth would have been like if man had never been on the plane. What are human impacts on rainforests in the Amazon, Australia, and Congo? Include sources. ...

One of the major problems facing this use in the future is the rapidly diminishing rainforests, which hold the greatest resource of novel bioactive compounds. There is also a risk that a growing market for pharmaceutical products can lead to overharvesting of some species. This may cause extincti...
Living in the lush rainforests of South America, sloths feed mostly on leaves.T heir long and curvy claws give them such a firm grip that they can freely swing back and forth on a springy branch or just stay hanging from a thick tree trunk for a while Not only are they slow climbers,...
Such trajectories are expected to change the ability of natural vegetation to deliver ecosystem services, with impacts on both regional and global sustainability. Accordingly, there has been increasing interest in the drivers of changes in vegetation cover and their local- and global-scale effects, ...
Here we compare the palaeoecology of vegetation changes across glacial to interglacial states before (Termination II) and after (Termination I) human occupation of the cool temperate rainforests of western Lutruwita (Tasmania). Sediment from Darwin Crater (Termination II) and Lake Selina (Termination...
