Indigenous groups in Australia have extensive traditional knowledge of using local plant and animal resources as foods and medicines. They developed sophisticated practices for sustainably sourcing seasonal foods while respecting local ecosystems. A diverse array of bush foods were incorporated into diets and cultures, including fruits, nuts, seeds, grasses, leaves, animals, insects, and seafood. These foods were often prepared through methods like grinding, roasting, boiling, and soaking to remove toxins. Traditional food preparation and consumption practices still play an important cultural role for many Indigenous communities today.Animals endemic to the philippines

Kelp forests are most developed off the California coast and occur in shallow, cold, and nutrient-rich waters. They are home to dense and highly productive kelp plants that can grow up to two feet per day, as well as a diverse array of marine life, including whales, sea otters, and millions of other plants and animals that rely on kelp forests for food and habitat. Giant kelp is one of the fastest growing plants and can reproduce through trillions of spores each year, though individual plants only live up to six years.1. introduction to philippine forest.pptx

The document summarizes the different types of forests in the Philippines. It discusses mangrove forests, beach forests, molave (limestone) forests, dipterocarp forests, pine forests, and mossy forests. It provides details on the ecological characteristics and dominant plant species found in each forest type. Mangrove forests are found in coastal areas and provide habitat for many species. Beach forests form a narrow strip along sandy coastlines. Molave forests grow on limestone soils and have scattered trees. Dipterocarp forests cover much of the country and are a key source of timber. Pine forests are located in mountainous areas above 700 meters. Mossy forests occur in the highest elevations with dwarf trees.Pbl natsc13 fonseca

Aside from their culinary purposes, they are also used for cosmetic purposes and as a mosquito repellent (burning the husk).Fire tree is a major habitat modifier because it significantly increases soil nitrogen levels. Not only does it successfully outcompete native plant species, but it also makes habitats more suitable for other invasive species because of increased soil fertility.Siniguelas is the name the fruit is known as in the Philippines, where they are not hard to come by.
