Natural resources are things found in nature that people use, such as air, soil, water, rock, wind, sun, oil, gas, and wood products. These resources can be harnessed for solar, hydro, and wind power. To conserve natural resources, people can reduce their usage, reuse items multiple times, and recycle materials like plastic bottles and paper.Green Future 2

Consequences Of Human Interference In The Tropical Rain Forest Ecosystemgeographypods
油
Human interference in tropical rain forests can have severe consequences. When trees are removed:
1) The soil is no longer protected by foliage from heavy rainfall and is washed away, loosening the soil and leaching nutrients deep underground.
2) Without tree roots to bind the soil, it erodes easily and is washed into rivers, increasing flood risk.
3) The loss of transpiring trees leads to less cloud formation and rainfall over time, which can eventually cause drought.Adaptations in plants

While planting during drought conditions makes success more difficult due to high evaporation and limited root growth, it is possible to establish new lawns and plant trees/shrubs if done properly. The article provides a three-week plan for establishing sod or Bermuda grass seed with daily watering amounts decreasing each week to develop a deeper root system. When planting trees or shrubs, the hole should be dug wider than the root ball and filled with native soil, pressed firmly and soaked to eliminate air pockets before mulching. New plants will need regular watering of at least 5 gallons when the soil is dry to help roots become established during their first summer.Physical GEOG: Chapter 10 - Forests as a Resource

Xeriscaping is a landscaping concept that saves water through careful planning and design. It groups plants with similar water needs together and uses mulch and efficient irrigation. The goal is to create an attractive landscape that requires little water. Key principles include improving soil, using native and drought-tolerant plants, minimizing turf areas, watering efficiently, and mulching exposed soil. Xeriscaping can be colorful and diverse while reducing the need for fertilizers and frequent watering typical of traditional landscapes.Ecological succession

This document discusses ecological succession. It defines succession as the process by which plant and animal communities change over time until a stable climax community is reached. There are two types of succession: primary succession, which occurs in areas without previous species like new sand dunes, and secondary succession, which occurs after a disturbance removes existing vegetation, like in abandoned fields. The stages of succession involve pioneer species first inhabiting the area and changing the environment, allowing new species to enter until a stable climax community is established. Videos and a worksheet on succession are assigned as homework.Ecological succession

Ecological succession is the gradual replacement of one community by another over time. It is initiated by disturbances that remove existing organisms or alter resources and habitat. There are two types of succession: primary succession occurs in areas without soil, while secondary succession occurs in areas with existing soil following a disturbance. In both cases, pioneer species are the first to colonize, and succession progresses gradually until an equilibrium climax community dominated by less tolerant species is reached if undisturbed.Recon

Artificial night lighting disorients and misorients sea turtle hatchlings and migratory birds. When hatchlings emerge from their nests, lighting causes them to crawl in circles or away from the ocean. This exposes them to exhaustion, predators and other dangers. For nesting female turtles, lighting deters them from beaches and concentrates nesting in fewer areas, increasing risks to eggs and hatchlings. Cities have implemented "lights out" campaigns during migration seasons to reduce impacts by dimming building lights. Management strategies aim to minimize unnecessary artificial lighting near beaches and migratory paths.Qi Xu Science Project

Ecological succession is a series of predictable changes that occur in a community over time, typically resulting in an increase in species diversity. Succession can be primary, occurring in areas with no previous community traces like new lava, or secondary, in partially disturbed areas where soil survives. Pioneer species alter the environment making it suitable for other species in successional stages from grasses to shade-tolerant trees in a climax community.Ecological succession

Ecological succession is the gradual process of change and replacement of species in a community over time. There are two types of succession - primary succession, which occurs on new surfaces without an ecosystem like volcanic rock, and secondary succession, which happens in disturbed ecosystems. Pioneer species like bacteria and lichens are the first to colonize during primary succession, breaking down rock and forming soil for other species. Eventually a climax community develops that remains stable if undisturbed.SF Zen Center Design Presentation

Primary succession begins in areas with no remnants of an older community, such as after volcanic eruptions or glacial retreat, leaving only bare rock. Over 100+ years in Glacier Bay, Alaska, lichen and mosses colonized the bare rock, which evolved into a hemlock and spruce forest. Secondary succession occurs more quickly on areas where the existing community was partially destroyed by disturbances like wildfires, hurricanes, logging or farming, as the soil remains intact. Every organism alters its environment over time, enabling other species to compete for resources and continue changing the environment further as succession progresses.Home Landscape Watering During Drought

Ecological succession is the natural process of change in species composition of an ecosystem over time. Primary succession begins in areas without soil, like newly exposed rock, and involves pioneer species like lichens forming soil. As the soil develops, other plants like mosses and ferns grow, adding more organic material. Eventually trees and other species dominate once soil is established. Secondary succession occurs in areas with existing soil that have been disturbed, like after a forest fire, and progresses more quickly through different pioneer species until a stable climax community develops.Robin melton memorial
