Fire is often seen as a destructive force, but in many ecosystems it is a necessary catalyst to start or propagate lif. Fire maintains natural ecosystems.
Cool Blog Coming Soon! :)
Wood respiration in African savannas significantly influences carbon dynamics, ecosystem health, and climate change responses.
Total ecosystem respiration in savannas is influenced by soil moisture, vegetation, and rainfall patterns. About half of the carbon taken in by savanna ecosystems is released back to the atmosphere through respiration.
Rocky intertidal zones in Durban exhibit diverse species richness patterns across elevation gradients.
Post-fire biodiversity in grasslands enhances ecological balance, promotes native species, and supports diverse wildlife.
Trees produce wood through photosynthesis, forming xylem layers, which consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.
