Environmental issues in England.
The main features of England's ecosystem.

England's ecosystem is not very diverse, this is similar to all islands around the world, being and island it is unlikely that the ecosystem will change mainly because of the area. Islands usually also have their own specific and unique biome, England is no exception though it does share the Island with Wales and Scotland as well. Though England's ecosystem and biome are unique they are very similar to that of near by countries. Frances northern coast (Normandy) for example shares many similar qualities to that of England. Ireland and Wales also share most of England's ecosystem, but Scotland though pretty close to England has a much different landscape, and though sharing most aspects of its neighbours ecosystem, does differ considerably in places. This is mainly due to the difference in temperature, climate and landscape; this causes the ecosystem to differ to adapt itself to these conditions.

England's ecosystem is pretty luscious, with plenty of water, it's a very fertile and green country, but due to the dense population this has been cut into by roads and cities.

Plant life in England

England's plant life is very unique with a huge array of flora, trees, bushes, plants and flowers. Pines, oaks, elm and beech are probably the most common trees within England though there are hundreds more. Daffodils, primroses, daisies and roses are very common around England and holly and ivy are just as widespread. Due to the fertile land agricultural farming of fruit and vegetables are very common produce over England. For the same reason grass grows in huge amounts across the entire country, creating a velvety green landscape.

Animal life in England

Animal life in England is diverse, and has changed a lot over the years. This is mainly because of the the huge farming industry which was boosted by the import of foreign animals, such as the cow. This meant the eco system changed. Sheep were also imported and breed to produce

    Patterns of plant successional change in Gatineau Park, Old Chelsea, were studied quantitatively. The relations between different successional stages of plant communities and abiotic factors were descried. To test these, we went to the fields, and worked on two transect in groups of 4. We counted the trees and measured the diameter at breast height (dbh) for tree with a dbh value greater than 2cm. The dbh measurements (cm), percentage of fern cover and percentage of bare ground were recorded and used to perform statistical analysis. No significant variations in the distribution of abundant tree species using chi2 analysis and percentage of fern cover using t-test analysis were observed between the compared sites. No significant variations found in the interquadrat analysis, and mean dbh of abundant tree species and percentage of bare ground between the sites compared. The results verified the stated hypothesis and were supported by literature sources.…

    The importance of Biomes is regulated and should be preserved by the environment for which any particular organism is located. The ecosystems composed in relation to the Biomes differ from region to region so a controlled system most be established to balance the growth of dominant inviters. This can help stop the lose of any one particular Biome. One for instance of lose of Biomes accrued when humans take over land for the development of homes, mini malls, and so on. At the same time the fresh water Aquatic Zones are being depleted and miss handled from its natural geographical flow. (Ballard 1996). The more humans populate the more natural resources they will need. To create a balance with biomes and the aquatic zones humans need to be more creative and come up with solution that will allow a balance with the natural resources of the planet. The reason humans deforest woods come from the need to clear plains for developments at the same time natural rivers are being cut of and or rerouted depriving plants and animals from their natural nutriments. The trees that are being cut down are the trees that helped support the natural growth of vine such as the pepper vine and the vanilla vines with out the shade and support provided by the trees the vines have a minimal chance of a long existence. (Francis 1997). It is important that biomes and aquatic zones are not over developed, the scale of over development will cause an irreversible lose of animals and organisms. (Turk 2011).…
