This week, you learned about deforestation. this process clears out trees and plants
to create new farmland and pastures. however, unbalanced deforestation (cutting
down forest without planting new trees somewhere else) has also turned some areas
into deserts and increased climate change and carbon dioxide emissions.
based on this information and what you learned this week about plants,
transpiration, and photosynthesis answer this question:
why do you think that planting new trees and plants is an important part of fighting
against deforestation's effects?

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
