What is forest ecosystem? Click HEREfor the definition And what forest ecosystem all about.
is the scientific study of interrelated patterns, processes, fauna and flora and ecosystem in a forest. • a natural woodland unit consisting of all plants, animals , micro-organisms (biotic factors) functioning together with non-living (a biotic) factors of the environment.
Click HERE for more information about forest ecosystem and the definition of living (biotic) and non-living (a biotic) and to know what are the similarities and differentiate of living and non-living in forest ecosystem.
A forest ecosystem is made up of soil, water, plants, animals, insects, fungi, and bacteria. All of these things must interact with each other to form the ecosystem. A forest ecosystem has definite boundaries and includes a forest of trees out to the limit of tree growth.
LIVING ORGANISMS Are those trees, plants and animals that are found in the forest ecosystem.
Non-living organism The non- living things are sand or soil ,rock, air and water
Living Non living -they are made up of cells -they do not grow, respire -exhibit characteristics of life -Both are found in forest Ecosystem. -Need energy, move, - reproduce, evolve, or maintain homeostasis. -like growth, movement -reproduction response to stimuli -they evolve and require energy for daily activities. -They are important in forest ecosystem. -do not exhibit any characteristics of life. -They interacting one another. -are lively and active
Click HERE for the Importance of Forest Ecosystem. The purpose of this learning is to give information how important our forest is.
ClickHERE for the definition of Deforestation and its effects. This learning is help students to avoid destroying our forest.
Deforestation Deforestation is the process whereby natural forests are cleared through logging and/or burning, either to use the timber or to replace the area for alternative uses.
Effects of Deforestation • Soil erosion destruction - Soils (and the nutrients in them) are exposed • to the sun’s heat. Soil moisture is dried up, • nutrients evaporate and bacteria that help • break down organic matter are affected. • Water Cycle- When forests are destroyed, the atmosphere, water • bodies and the water table are all affected. Trees absorb • and retain water in their roots. • Loss of Biodiversity-Many wonderful species of plants and animals have • been lost, and many others remain endangered. • Climate- Destroying the forests mean CO2 will remain in the atmosphere • and in addition, destroyed vegetation will give off more CO2 • stored in them as they decompose.
