Summary: The Minnamurra Rainforest

The temperature in a rainforest varies from 68 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit. The average temperature of a rainforest is about 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Rainforests are never found in climates with the temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below because plants in a rainforest will not be able to survive in the cold weather. In the lower canopy, there is little air movement as a result of the humidity is constantly

The last remnant of the supercontinent Gondwanaland finally separated into Australia and Antarctica between 30 and 40 million years ago. Isolated on an enormous northward-drifting raft the inhabitants of the Australian continent evolved and diversified over millions of years as the climate cycled through periods of warm and cool, wet and dry.

ave you ever wonder what it’s like in a rainforest biome? A rainforest is a type of biome that have many tall trees with a warm climate year round and have many rainfall yearly. Daintree Rainforest is one of the rainforest biome on the Earth. The Daintree Rainforest is one of the oldest rainforest on Earth. It’s located in the region northeast of Queensland, Australia, north of Mossman and Cairns.

The Daintree Rainforest is a very valuable place and Australia is truly fortunate to have a rainforest like this. Many people don’t realize the importance of this Rainforest and how it will eventually affect our lives if we don’t take care of it well. The Daintree Rainforest should be something that everybody is helping, so that it can maintain it’s health and make sure that it continuously provides oxygen for us. We don’t need to go Daintree to help grow trees or anything (although that would be good), you can save the rainforest by just simply recycling your paper, not waste water, electricity and more.

The ecosystem that I found to be the most interesting is the Daintree Rainforest. This rainforest is estimated to be 180 million years old and has a very fascinating and distinctive land. The Daintree Rainforest is a tropical rainforest that is located on the north east coast of Queensland, Australia; taking up a total of 0.1 percent of Australia’s land mass. The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest existing tropical rainforest in the world and the biggest rainforest located in Australia, it is a total of over 1,200 square kilometers in size. This forest got its famous name from a man named Richard Daintree, a 19th century Australian geologist and photographer.

The reef biome is responsible for providing critical habitat for countless marine species, protecting coastlines from erosion, and supporting commercial and recreational activities. The rainforest biome, on the other hand, plays a key role in regulating the earth's climate by storing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. Additionally, the rainforest biome is home to a staggering array of plant and animal species, many of which are still unknown to

INTRODUCTION The Brimbank Park (UTM: 37.734S, 144.837N) is located within the suburb of Keilor East, which located approximately 15km northwest of Melbourne CBD. The Park was intersected by M80 Highway and Maribyrnong River, surrounded by natural, industrial and residential areas (Figure 1.1&1.2). Some key landforms that observed in the site were wetlands, woodlands and grasslands since the located on a basalt plane, and volcanic activity was the reason that formed flat plains and steep river escarpments. Some lower plain-slopes with small gradients around 5° (Stop 3&4), river banks (Stop 2) along the Maryibyrong river could be observed as well (Figure 1.3).

This episode of “The Future is Wild” goes into deep explanation about how the processes of evolution, natural selection, and adaptation changed our modern species. In the future, the species will go through evolution; the process by which species gradually change over time . In modern day, the Amazon Rain Forest in known as one of the lushest habitats in the world. According to the video, the modern Rain Forest will soon dry out, and become a Grassland. In geological and evolutionary time, this happened very quickly, only in a matter of a couple thousand years.

The impact did the book "The Jungle" has on society was showed the publis was actually going on in the factories. It showed how owners had no regard for worker safety nor public safety. Examples: people getting fingers cut off and being mixed in with the meat, diseased foods, and more. All the impacted of the Jungle in U.S by helping develop foods and workers safty laws and administrations. It also impacted the world by showing how immigrants were being mistreated and how hard life really was in the U.S.

Native Amazonians don 't want their traditions and homes taken away from them. The Amazon rainforest is dying and becoming smaller and smaller because of loggers, settlers, and cattle ranchers they are taking the amazonians homes away from them. Unlike the runner trappers and environmental groups trying to get resources without harming the Amazon rainforest for what people want not what they need. The Amazonians have been marked by brutality, slavery, violence, disease, and genocide.

Deforestation results in the loss of biodiversity Deforestation is having its most devastating effect on biodiversity in tropical rainforests. The destruction of millions of hectares of forests by human activities means: • The removal of the bases of numerous food webs • The loss of habitats for many species of flora and

This ecosystem needs special or additional protection because of the impacts that tourism, mining and deforestation on Daintree Rainforest. Deforestation severely affects the ecosystem by destroying animals habitats in the trees, creating more pollution in the area cause of various timber mills built to making logging faster. Meaning that more fuel is being burnt with carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere which then impacts climate change. Mining has been another factor to why it needs additional protection with these tin mining leases which is held all of the rainforest. Though it has been impacting the plants and animals as it creates erosion, sink holes and contamination of soil.

The Congo basin supports a large rainforest ecosystem, which contributes on a large scale to stable the world climate. But this ecosystem is endangered due to the vast wealth of resources and accompanied illegal mining activities, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Diverse case studies about Congo’s Kahuzi-Biega Park, Okapi Reserve and Virunga Park ascertain that deforestation, water pollution as well as hunting and poaching are the most common environmental impacts. Observations show that only approximately 20 % of mammals are still alive in some heritage areas. These impacts lead to a high loss of biodiversity and results in a dramatically change in rainforest ecosystem services.

Summary The findings and analysis of this study are very interesting. Along with the vast array of ecological significance of Agumbe, there are many other cultural and spiritual beliefs attached to it. It was found that the importance of Agumbe rainforest has been exemplified due to the presence of King Cobra in this area. People have taken initiative to preserve the rainforest in the name of Nagabana.

Naturalism It was typical for it to rain heavily here. Well again it is in the name, rainforest. Barry had always had a fascination with nature, and felt a sort of connection to it. When he was a freshman in college he decided he wanted to become a rainforest cartographer.
