14. How does clear cutting a large forest affect the ecosystem energy flow?
The government of Mahandar wants to expand biodiversity conservation efforts on the island. The government has two goals: 1) to protect the overall biodiversity and sustainability of the island ecosystem, and 2) to protect the endemic primates that live in the forests on the island. The endangered primates are unique and very sensitive to habitat changes. This puts them at a higher risk of extinction. The primates have also become a well-known attraction for ecotourists from around the world. The...

How does the information on this climograph relate to temperature and precipitation? When warm air is at a higher altitude, it contains more moisture, triggering excessive dryness in the arctic tundra Warm air can contain...

How is forest fragmentation linked to the rise of Lyme
disease?
Lyme disease is caused by infections of the bacterium
Borrelia burgdorferi which is transferred to humans via
blood-sucking bites from the tick, Ixodes scapularis. Lyme
disease can cause flu-like symptoms in the short term and more
serious illnesses in the long term, if not treated. Why is Lyme
disease on the rise in eastern North America?

Logging in the Rain Forest. “Conservationists have despaired over destruction of tropical rain forest by logging, clearing, and burning.” These words begin a report on a statistical study of the effects of logging in Borneo.12 Charles Cannon of Duke University and his coworkers compared forest plots that had never been logged (Group 1) with similar plots nearby that had been logged one year earlier (Group 2) and eight years earlier (Group 3). All plots were 0.1 hectare in area. Here...
