Question

Explain the different patterns in habitat loss over time for the following biomes: tropical forests, temperate deciduous forests, and boreal forests. Discuss the reasons for the loss (or lack of loss) for each biome AND any time-based trends in those declines (or lack thereof).

Answer 1

Tropical forest

1.Habitual losses are it destroys the habitats of thousands of species of organisms, worsens the chances of survival of those who live, extinction of species.

2.reasons- agriculture due to cash crops and cattle ranching, fuel wood, mining and industry, tourism

3. The tropical Deforestrations is increased from approximately 6900 kha yr^-1in the first study period.

Temperature deciduous forest

1.losses are acid rain , it damage tree leaves , causes tree to produce smaller seeds and reduce resistance to disease.creat environmental catastrophes.alternation of local Rainfall patterns.

2.reason- Deforestrations, landing , industry

3. Temperature deciduous forest required 120 days without frost.

Boreal forest

1.losses are logging , mining, oil and gas extraction and hydroelectric development.

2.forest fire, soil erosion , landing

3. Trends in climate recent in every year, monthly trend in temperature over time
