ecosystem? That are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment‚ which affect ecosystems. A good example is that a lot of small bushes and shrubs would not be able to live here because all the really tall trees would block most of the sunlight causing a lack in sunlight to the bushes and shrubs below them. This will cause the bushes and shrubs to die. 4. An explanation of the key biotic factors (species) that are found in the ecosystem? The biotic factors that are found in the rainforest

BEECH FOREST ECOSYSTEMS INTRODUCTION This essay will look at beech forest ecosystems‚ describing the main characteristics‚ along with pre-human and current distribution of beech forests. Vegetation structure and native fauna associated with the ecosystem will be looked at with examples of species given. Environmental effects such as altitude‚ latitude‚ rainfall and soil drainage‚ and how they can affect beech forests will be investigated. Anthropogenic effects will also be looked at‚ explaining

wood is reasonably firm and the leaves of mature size. Many broadleaf evergreen shrubs are some conifers are propagated by this method. Hardwood cuttings These cuttings are normally from dormant mature stems in late fall‚ winter or early spring. Plants generally are fully dormant with no obvious signs of active growth. The wood is firm and does not easily bend. Hardwood cuttings are used most often for deciduous shrubs but can be used for evergreens. Example of plants propagated at the hardwood

quality can be improved through the use of trees‚ shrubs‚ and turf. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particulates. Rain then washes the pollutants to the ground. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form carbohydrates that are used in the plant’s structure and function. In this process‚ leaves also absorb other air pollutants—such as ozone‚ carbon monoxide‚ and sulfur dioxide—and give off oxygen. By planting trees and shrubs‚ we return to a more natural‚ less artificial
