    I been living in the Redwood National and State Parks for my whole life, and I’m going to stay here for the rest of it too, but it’s not been boring at all. I’m the highest redwood tree in the forest, standing 379.7 feet tall. I have big, thick branches with abundant leaves at the end, and I am one of the most visited trees in the forest because of my impressive height. I remember that when I was growing up, I could see more people come and visit the park than what I see this day. This may not be a problem now, but it may lead to a big problem because if fewer people keep coming, fewer people will take care of nature, which that may lead into many bigger problems.…

    Quiz: Forest Ecosystem

    • 241 Words
    • 1 Page

    Though underappreciated, novel forests are an important ecosystem for many different plant and animal species. They are a mix of native and non-native plants that compose an entirely new type of forest. Since the land was previously used as a cattle pasture, the soil will be severely compacted, leaving little space in the soil for air, water, and other nutrients to reach the roots of plants that germinate. To assist with the development of the soil, going in to aerate soil on bare land and around the trees that have begun to colonize the land will aid them in receiving the water, oxygen, and other nutrients they need to thrive. Aerating the soil would solve the issues caused by it being compacted and make it easier for more trees…

    Ecological assessment are extremely important in knowing how an ecosystem works and how works in the world surrounding it. Agencies around the world conduct ecological assessments to find out how an ecosystem functions and how it is structures in order to know how to manage the ecosystem and the things that are inhabiting it. By doing an ecological assessment at Kent State I hope to learn more about how the ecosystems here work, since Kent State is my new home. With these results that I get from doing this assessment I hope to be able to see how areas on campus differ and how they are structured differently along with how they need to be taken care of, compared to the areas surrounding the campus. The ecological assessment that I conducted…

Since trees and plants are responsible for the extraction of groundwater from soil and then returning it back into the atmosphere where clouds are produced (transpiration), deforestation results in the water not being able to be released back into the atmosphere which affects the balance of water (transpiration rate decreases) . This may lead to dry climates which affects the living conditions of animals due to the lack of production for rainwater.…

Therefore, city life would be enhanced greatly, crushing and disrupting the old traditions.

Once the rainforests have been logged, settles would greatly claim for the logged land. Due to the activity or agriculture and mining and other activities, soil erosion would be the result. The claim for the remaining lands would be much greater, and the greater settlement would result in much greater devastating effects. For instant, the water would be pollution, and…
