Rainforest
The document discusses the importance of saving the rainforest and provides information about the rainforest and ways individuals can help. It notes that the rainforest is home to two-thirds of all plant and animal species, is critical for fresh water supply, and is the source of many potential medical treatments. Specific actions mentioned to help save the rainforest include recycling, reducing electricity and paper usage, and buying sustainably harvested wood products.
Sec 1 Exp - Tropical Rainforests
Tropical rainforests are found in areas with high temperatures between 20-30 degrees Celsius and high rainfall between 1000-2000 mm annually. They have 3 main layers - the emergent layer with the tallest trees up to 50m high and buttress roots, the canopy layer 15-30m tall that blocks 70% of sunlight, and the undergrowth layer that receives very little sunlight. Rainforests are threatened by deforestation for agriculture, logging and development which causes extinction of plants and animals. Singapore once had more rainforests but they were cleared for population and industry growth, though reserves like the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve protect some remaining forest.
Forest
Forests are important ecosystems that provide habitat for many plants and animals. They serve key functions like regulating climate, providing fresh water, and generating economic benefits from timber and tourism. The main types of forests are coniferous, deciduous, and tropical rainforests, which are distinguished by their locations and characteristics like whether trees are evergreen or lose their leaves seasonally. Forests exist in different biomes around the world and support high levels of biodiversity.
Tropical forest
Tropical rainforests are the richest habitats on Earth, containing over half of the world's plant and animal species in only 6% of the Earth's land. They are being destroyed at a rate of 70 acres per minute through deforestation for agriculture and grazing land. Every year, an area the size of Wisconsin is lost or damaged. Tips to help prevent further deforestation include planting trees, limiting paper usage, using recycled paper products, and raising awareness about the impacts of deforestation.
Geography presentation-Tropical Rainforests
The tropical rainforests are located near the equator and experience high temperatures and heavy rainfall year-round. However, rainforests are being cut down at alarming rates for agriculture, settlements, ranching, logging, mining, dams, and roads. This widespread deforestation is harming the environment by causing soil erosion, accelerating global warming, and threatening countless species with extinction. Global warming occurs as fewer trees convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, trapping more heat in the atmosphere. Continued deforestation may worsen problems like melting glaciers and rising global temperatures.
Tropical Rainforests
Tropical rainforests are defined by high precipitation, temperature, and humidity. They support a high level of biodiversity despite covering a small area of the planet. Plants and animals in rainforests have adapted to the dense canopy structure through traits like buttresses, prop roots, epiphytic growth, and camouflage. However, human activities like deforestation, overexploitation, mining, agriculture, and introducing invasive species are degrading many rainforests and reducing biodiversity.
Tropical rainforest
Tropical rainforests exist within 28 degrees north and south of the equator. They receive high rainfall, have warm temperatures, and high humidity. Though they cover less than 6% of the Earth's land, they are home to 50% of animals and plants and produce 40% of the oxygen. The four main types are lowland equatorial evergreen, moist deciduous and semi-evergreen seasonal, montane, and flooded forests. Rainforests have distinct layers - the forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layer - which each have unique environmental conditions and species adaptations.

Advance Presentation On Forest Our Life Line
Forests are vital to life on Earth. They produce oxygen, regulate climate, provide habitat for plants and animals, and offer resources like food, medicine, and building materials. Forests help prevent soil erosion, floods, and drought by absorbing water and holding soil in place. However, deforestation threatens forests by clearing land for agriculture, grazing, fuel, and construction. To protect forests, efforts are needed to raise awareness, plant trees, buy sustainable products, and reduce consumption.
Tropical rain forest
The tropical rain forest can be found in three major geographical areas around the world. It has four distinct layers - emergent, upper canopy, understory, and forest floor. There are several types of rainforests defined by location and climate factors. Rainforests have a warm, humid climate with high rainfall. They provide many benefits but are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental impacts. Conservation efforts include programs like REDD that use carbon credits to incentivize forest protection.
Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests are located in warm, tropical regions that receive high amounts of rainfall each year. They are characterized by dense vegetation and nutrient-poor soil. Tropical rainforests differ from temperate rainforests in that they have a warmer climate and receive much greater rainfall. Remaining tropical rainforests are found in dark green areas on maps and are structured into several layers from tall canopy trees to lower shrubs. Tropical rainforests are important because they contain a high percentage of the world's biodiversity and produce a large amount of the earth's oxygen. However, they are being threatened by activities like slash-and-burn agriculture which leads to deforestation.
Sec 1 g_-_unit_3.1_-3.2_answers[1]
Tropical rainforests once covered 14% of the Earth's land but now only cover 6%, and experts say the last remaining forests could be destroyed within 40 years. Tropical rainforests are characterized by year-round high temperatures and rainfall. They have several distinct layers including an emergent layer with the tallest trees reaching 50-80 meters, a canopy layer from 20-30 meters, and an undergrowth layer with sparse vegetation. Rainforests provide many benefits such as being habitats for biodiversity, sources of medicines and timber, and helping regulate the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide. However, they are being destroyed for agriculture, logging and other human activities.
Tropical Rainforest
A typical patch of rainforest contains over 1,500 flowering plants, 750 tree species, 400 bird species and 150 butterfly species. Rainforests provide important resources like medicines, timber, and food, with 70% of plants used to treat cancer found exclusively in rainforests. More than 1 billion people depend on forests for survival. Deforestation is one of the leading causes of climate change, with a football field of rainforest destroyed every second due to unsustainable agriculture and ranching practices like cattle ranching. By 2030, only 10% of tropical rainforests are projected to remain if deforestation continues at its current rate, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of species.
TROPICAL RAINFOREST
The document defines tropical rainforests and provides information about their climate, layers, plants, animals, and threats from deforestation. It notes that tropical rainforests have year-round warmth and high humidity, giant bamboo can grow 9 inches per day, and the dense canopy means rain takes 10 minutes to reach the ground. It lists species diversity in South American butterflies, Central African plants, and Asian flying animals. The document also discusses the climate and rainfall in Philippine rainforests and provides statistics on deforestation rates.
Tropical Rainforest Biome
The tropical rainforest is Earth's most biologically diverse biome. It has four distinct layers - the emergent layer of tall trees, the upper canopy layer where most animals live, the understory layer of shrubs and small trees with constant high humidity, and the dark forest floor that receives less than 1% of sunlight. Despite low-nutrient soils from heavy rainfall and weathering, the rainforest supports a wide variety of adapted plant and animal species through nutrient recycling and specialized structures for gathering light.
Rainforest =]
Rainforests are home to 50% of the world's plants and animals and receive between 160-400 inches of rain per year. They provide natural resources and help humans breathe by producing oxygen. Cutting down the rainforest is reducing habitat for many animals, some of which scientists have yet to discover, and is contributing to extinction. Simple everyday habits around water, energy, and waste conservation can help save the rainforest. The rainforest is being cut down at an alarming rate of one football field every second.
Uses of tropical rainforests
Tropical rainforests serve several important purposes: as water catchment areas that slowly filter rainwater into the groundwater supply; as "green lungs" that absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen; and as habitat to over 2 million species of flora and fauna as well as indigenous peoples who rely on the forest for food and resources. Rainforests also provide timber for construction and contain thousands of plant species with potential medical applications.
Tropical forest (By: J.Q)
Tropical rainforests have high biodiversity and receive abundant rainfall. They regulate the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Rainforests are found between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and have warm temperatures year-round. They can be divided into four layers - emergent, upper canopy, lower canopy, and forest floor. While rainforests cover only a small portion of the Earth's surface, they are home to most of its plant and animal species. The largest threats to rainforests are deforestation through logging and mining activities, which degrade habitat and increase greenhouse gases.
Temperate deciduous forest
Temperate deciduous forests are characterized by trees that lose their leaves seasonally. Common trees include birch and oak, while animals include chipmunks, deer, and coyotes. These forests experience distinct seasons and are found worldwide. Pollution can accumulate in these ecosystems. Invasive species like the citrus long-horned beetle from Asia damage trees. Energy flows from plants and smaller prey eaten by larger predators like bears and cougars. Biotic relationships include mutualism between blackberry bushes and bees, commensalism between chipmunks and trees, and parasitism like bears eating fish. Succession occurs naturally after disturbances through regrowth from seeds and stumps. Predator-prey interactions include
Tropical rainforest
Tropical rainforests are found between 10 degrees north and south of the equator, mainly in the Amazon Basin, Congo Basin, and parts of Southeast Asia. They have 5 layers - emergent, canopy, understory, shrub, and undergrowth. Tropical rainforests are adapted to high heat and rainfall through features like broad, evergreen leaves and buttress roots, and adaptations like waxy leaves that shed water easily and shallow roots that spread widely to absorb nutrients. Common plant types include epiphytes that grow on trees, lianas that use trees to reach sunlight, and parasitic plants that compete with host trees.

This study investigated the ability of crude extracts from Piper samentosum leaves, extracted using hexane and ethyl alcohol as solvents, to inhibit the growth of Culex mosquito larvae. The leaves were extracted in each solvent for 5 days. The weights of the extracts were measured and their ability to kill Culex larvae at different concentrations over 24 hours was tested. Statistical analysis showed that ethyl alcohol extracted more material from the leaves but hexane extracted material had a lower LC50 (the concentration that kills 50% of larvae), meaning it was more effective at inhibiting larval growth.

It notes that 1.5 acres of rainforest are lost every second, over 100 plant and animal species are lost daily, and more than half of the world's animals live in rainforests. It recommends ways for readers to help such as planting trees, recycling paper, establishing protected areas, reducing meat and plastic consumption. Additional facts provided are that destroying rainforests is illegal, loss of rainforests could impact weather patterns, native populations would lose their homes, and costs of wood and paper would increase with reduced supply.
Forest : Our Lifeline
1. Forests have different layers of vegetation including a canopy layer of tall tree branches and leaves, an understory layer of shrubs and smaller trees, and a forest floor layer of mosses, liverworts, and fungi.
2. Forests provide important benefits such as producing oxygen, regulating climate, maintaining water cycles, preventing floods, and providing habitat for wildlife. Forests support complex food webs and allow nutrients to cycle through the ecosystem.
3. Deforestation threatens these benefits by increasing temperatures, disrupting wildlife habitats, causing more flooding, and endangering the environment. Efforts are needed to conserve forests and reduce deforestation.
Rainforest =]
Rainforests are home to 50% of the world's plants and animals and receive between 160-400 inches of rain per year. They provide natural resources and help humans breathe by producing oxygen. Cutting down the rainforest is reducing habitat for many animals, some of which scientists have yet to discover, and is contributing to extinction. Simple everyday actions like using cold water, recycling, turning down heat, and avoiding unnecessary electronics can help conserve natural resources and save the rainforest. The rainforest is being cut down at an alarming rate of one football field every second.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
