They contain a high number of plant and animal species and provide important ecosystem services like contributing to the water cycle and climate regulation. The document urges readers to help save rainforests by reducing paper and plastic use, eating less red meat, and being mindful about wood products. It lists five additional facts about rainforest layers, age, rainfall recycling, inability to regrow once destroyed, and notes the largest is the Amazon.
Help Save The Rainforest
The document discusses the importance of saving the rainforest and provides facts about the rainforest. It states that the rainforest is home to half of the world's plant and animal species, produces oxygen, and houses resources for fighting cancer. It would cause many species to go extinct and disrupt the food chain if the rainforest is destroyed. The document encourages readers to help save the rainforest by reusing materials, composting, using mulch in gardens, and respecting wildlife habitats. It notes that destroying the rainforest's trees would eliminate one third of animal species and damage the thin soil.
Rainforests
The tropical rainforest is a unique ecosystem with constant high temperatures and rainfall. This creates a unique water and nutrient cycle. However, rainforests are threatened by human expansion and activities like agriculture, mining, and infrastructure development which can lead to deforestation and environmental degradation. While these activities may provide short-term economic benefits, they often come at the cost of significant environmental damage and loss of biodiversity.
Use Of The Amazon Rainforest
The passage discusses the traditional way of life of Amazon Indians and their view of the natural world. It introduces Ipecac, an elder from an Amazon Indian tribe, who believes that rivers, trees, the sun and moon are part of nature that everything, including modern machines, depends on for survival. Ipecac explains that future generations will only live if the current generation passes on the land, and that if the land is destroyed, there will be nothing left to pass on and both current and future generations will die.
Habitats
This document discusses different habitats including deserts, forests, rain forests, marine environments, and zoos. Forests cover 1/3 of the Earth and are dominated by trees, with precipitation distributed evenly throughout the year supporting animals like bears and deer. Marine habitats cover 75% of the Earth and support a vast diversity of plant and animal life ranging from microscopic to 100 foot whales. Zoos are man-made habitats that are important for recreation, education, wildlife conservation, and scientific studies.
The Amazon Rainforest
There are three major rainforests in the world: the Amazon, Congo, and Indonesia rainforests. The Amazon is the largest rainforest containing about 390 billion trees. Rainforests are full of beautiful and exotic animals and provide 50% of the world's food and 3/4 of clean water. Indigenous people of the Amazon live in houses made of leaves and straw, with fathers farming/hunting and mothers gardening/cooking, while children learn about plants and animals through play. Threats to the rainforest include deforestation for wood and paper, but conservation efforts like providing technology to report illegal logging are helping to protect these vital ecosystems.
Rainforest Importance
The document discusses the goods and services provided by tropical rainforests, including oxygen production, biodiversity, and origins of foods and medicines. It notes that rainforests once covered 14% of land but now only 6%, and are being destroyed at a rate of 1.5 acres per second. This is causing massive species loss estimated at 50,000 species per year. Tropical rainforests support important ecosystem services and are biodiversity hotspots, home to over half the world's species in a very small area of the planet.
The amazon rainforest PERIOD 4
Tropical rainforests are located in warm, equatorial regions like South America, receiving high average rainfall of 108 inches per year. They have immense biodiversity, being home to over 427 mammal, 1,300 bird, and 400 amphibian species. The document describes some animal species found in rainforests like anacondas, glass frogs, macaws, sloths, and jaguars. It also discusses plant species like corpse flowers, strangler figs, and Amazon water lilies. Food webs and pyramids in rainforests are explained, showing energy transfer between primary producers, primary consumers, and apex predators. Photosynthesis occurs most actively in the canopy layer. Deforestation is an issue

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.
Rainforest powerpoint[1]
Rainforests once covered 14% of the Earth's surface but now only cover 6% as they are being destroyed. Over half an acre is lost every second primarily due to logging, cattle ranching, and agriculture. This is resulting in the loss of 137 plant and animal species every day and will destroy nearly half of all species in the next 25 years. Solutions involve sustainable harvesting of rainforest resources, addressing the root causes of poverty and population growth, and returning control of forests to local communities.
Rainforests
The document discusses the importance of saving rainforests and provides facts about them. Rainforests provide many medicines and help absorb carbon dioxide. They are home to many animals and plants, yet they are being destroyed even though we rely on them. Actions like buying sustainable foods, using recycled paper, and reducing waste can help save endangered rainforests. If deforestation continues, the Amazon could disappear and it would negatively impact the climate, environment and human health.

The document discusses facts about rainforests, including that they cover 7% of the Earth's surface, receive over 80 inches of rainfall per year, and provide many important resources like food, oxygen, and medicine. It emphasizes that rainforests are in danger of deforestation, with 50 species going extinct every day, and provides tips for conserving resources to help save them, such as using less water and electricity.
Introduction rainforests
Tropical rainforests are located near the equator where temperatures are warm. They receive over 100 inches of rain annually, which allows dense vegetation to thrive. Rainforests have four layers - the forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layer - each providing habitat for different plant and animal species. More than half of all plant and animal species live in rainforests. Rainforests play an important role in regulating Earth's climate and temperature, and provide resources like wood, paper, medicines and food including bananas, oranges and chocolate. However, rainforests are disappearing rapidly due to land conversion and deforestation, threatening biodiversity and climate stability.
The Province of Aklan
The document summarizes information about Aklan province in the Philippines. It describes Aklan's geographical location in western Visayas and climate, which is tropical with wet and dry seasons. It also lists some of Aklan's dominant flora and fauna, such as the bamboo tree, bariw tree, yellow hibiscus, and Philippine spotted deer. Finally, it characterizes Aklan's biome as a tropical rainforest due to its high rainfall, home to many plant and animal species.
Rainforest Facts
The Amazon Rainforest covers over a billion acres and produces over 20% of the world's oxygen. It is estimated that over half of the world's plant and animal species live in rainforests. At least 80% of the world's diet originated in rainforests, including fruits, vegetables, spices and nuts. However, rainforests are being destroyed at an unsustainable rate, with one and a half acres lost every second, threatening millions of species with extinction.
5 trf adaptation
Here are some key points to include:
- Nutrients cycle through the ecosystem via decomposition of organic matter and uptake by plants and animals
- Leaves, dead animals etc fall to the forest floor and are broken down by decomposers like fungi and bacteria
- Nutrients are recycled back into the soil and taken up again by plants
- Cutting down trees breaks this cycle - nutrients are lost from the system when timber is removed
- Without trees, rainfall washes nutrients out of the exposed soil
- Over time the soil becomes depleted and unable to support plant growth
You could draw arrows showing the nutrient flow between components like trees, decomposers, soil, animals etc. Label each step in the cycle and explain

The Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil and other South American countries, and is the largest rainforest in the world. It provides essential functions like producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide. However, the Amazon rainforest has been under destruction through activities like deforestation that cut down broad-leaved trees, threatening many plant and animal species as well as the benefits it provides to the global climate.
The Amazon Rainforest
The Amazon Rainforest is being destroyed mainly through human settlement and development of the land, with over 580,000 km2 destroyed since 1980. This deforestation directly impacts the animals that rely on trees for food and shelter and the insects that depend on flowers for survival. Additionally, water pollution is worsening as logging degrades the forest, and by 2050 the shrinking rainforest may become a source of carbon emissions rather than absorbing carbon. Commonly called the "Lungs of the Earth", the Amazon supplies much of the planet's oxygen but is threatened if deforestation continues. While some improvements have been made, much more progress is still needed to protect this important ecosystem.
Rainforests
The document discusses tropical rainforests. It describes how rainforests are dense forests with high rainfall that are home to millions of plant and animal species. It also explains how rainforests generate oxygen and contain many potential medicines. Indigenous peoples live in rainforests and rely on their resources but are threatened by deforestation.
4th Period Tropical Rainforest 2
The document discusses key aspects of tropical rainforests including location, climate, plants, animals and human impacts. It notes that tropical rainforests are home to over 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants and around 2,000 species of birds and mammals. Specifically, it describes plants like vanilla, rubber trees and orchids and animals including macaws, pumas and capuchin monkeys. It also explains that human activities are the greatest cause of rainforest destruction today through deforestation and development.
Rainforest Plants
The document discusses the variety of plant life found in tropical rainforests. It notes that rainforests contain over half the world's plant species due to abundant rainfall and sunshine. The major plants are tall trees that create a canopy up to 100 feet high and hold many epiphytic plants like orchids, bromeliads and ferns. Vines called lianas are also important, and pitcher plants trap insects. While rainforests once covered 14% of the planet, deforestation has reduced this to 6%. Rainforest plants provide valuable foods, medicines, and produce one-fifth of the world's oxygen supply.
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.

Rainforests
Tropical rainforests have a humid climate with high temperatures year-round and heavy rainfall almost daily. They have a complex structure with five layers - emergent trees, canopy, understory, shrub layer, and forest floor. Plants in each layer have adaptations like buttress roots and waxy leaves to survive in the dense forest. Threats to the rainforest include deforestation for agriculture, timber, and development which can be seen increasing over time in satellite images. Rainforests provide many useful products like foods, materials, medicines and maintain nutrient and water cycles.

Pfeiffer - Save the Rainforest
Deforestation is threatening rainforests and the plants and animals that live in them. Around 50,000 indigenous people also call the rainforests home. Rainforests are being cut down at an alarming rate of 6,000 acres per hour, often to make way for logging and agriculture. However, rainforests provide humans with many important resources like medicines and foods. To help save the rainforests, the author pledges to spread awareness and get others involved through activities like making posters and talking to friends and family.
Rainforest Activity
The document summarizes key facts about rainforests, threats to their existence, and actions individuals can take to help save them. Specifically, it notes that rainforests hold half the world's plants and animals, are being lost at a rate of 1.5 acres per second primarily due to farming and development, and recommends ways to reduce environmental impact such as recycling, using less water and heat, and buying sustainably sourced goods.
Rainforests
Rainforests are dense forests found near the equator that receive a high amount of rainfall each year. They exist in layers from an emergent layer of tall trees reaching 70-80 meters to a forest floor layer of shorter plants 3-5 meters high. The two main types are tropical rainforests near the equator and temperate rainforests at higher latitudes. Tropical rainforests have warm, moist climates and contain a majority of the world's plant and animal species. Famous rainforests include the Amazon, Daintree in Australia, and Atsinanana in Madagascar, all of which are threatened by deforestation.

The document discusses rainforests, the threats they face, and actions individuals can take to help protect them. Rainforests are home to over 1 million species and play a key role in regulating temperatures and producing oxygen. However, a football field worth of rainforest is destroyed every second, putting species and the climate at risk. The document provides information on organizations individuals can donate to or volunteer with to help combat deforestation and promote reforestation.
2016 Sec 1 geog unit 3 lesson 2
This document discusses the uses and importance of tropical rainforests. It explains that rainforests play a key role in the water and oxygen cycles by reducing surface runoff and absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Rainforests are also incredibly biodiverse, providing habitat for over 2 million species of flora and fauna. They are an important source of resources for indigenous people as well as timber, fuel, medicines, and more. Deforestation threatens these benefits and species.
Rainforest And Global Warming
1) The document discusses a presentation by four students on the rainforest and the effects of global warming.
2) It describes what global warming is, the location and key facts about rainforests, common rainforest plants and animals, and how global warming can negatively impact rainforests and their native species.
3) The loss of trees from increased carbon dioxide and tree death would reduce oxygen for other species and habitats in the rainforest ecosystem.
Multimedia Pp[1]
The document provides an overview of natural and constructed environments. It describes various natural environments such as forests, mountains, wetlands, bodies of water, plains, tundra and deserts. It also outlines several constructed environments including homes, neighborhoods, factories, shops, schools, hospitals, restaurants and more. The document aims to educate about different types of environments and where one may find them.
Help Save The Rainforest!

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.
Sec 1 geog unit 3 lesson 2
This document discusses the uses and importance of tropical rainforests. It explains that rainforests play an important role in the water and oxygen cycles. They act as water catchments by reducing surface runoff and filtering impurities in rainwater. Photosynthesis in rainforests helps produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. Rainforests are also important habitats that are home to millions of species of flora and fauna, many of which have not been studied. They provide resources like food, medicine and timber for human populations.

GRASSLANDS
Overview
The purpose of this chapter is to help readers visualize the vast
scope of forages in the world by defining, locating and
describing the great grasslands of the world. Discussion of
general concepts of grasslands also will alert readers to the
need for understanding the fragile balance between plants,
soils and animals in each grassland location.
To feel you have mastered this first chunk of the book, you
should be able to name the grasslands of the world and
recognize the many terms for grasslands in various countries/
regions. You should have a concise definition of grasslands
and how they vary from other vegetative areas. And you should
be able to discuss some of the issues grasslands currently
face.
Definition of Grasslands
When visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time it is only
natural to wonder what the first explorers must have thought as
they strolled through the woodlands and suddenly before them
a massive but magnificent ditch came into view.
/ FORAGES / 6
Similar feelings must have been experienced by those
approaching the extensive grasslands of the world. The steppe
of Eurasia extends from Europe to China; the prairies of
America have been called an ocean of grass, and many settlers
were too overwhelmed by its size to venture across it.

field-aerial-background-header.jpg
Grassland, land containing mostly grasses, covers about 2/3 of
the land masses of the world and makes up 1/4 of the earth's
surface. Grassland refers to that biome dominated by grasses,
species of the Poaceae family (previously Gramineae). *A
biome is “a large geographical area characterized by certain
types of plants and animals.” Examples are forest, grassland,
freshwater, marine, desert, and tundra.

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.
