Nelson p.86
Treeline
Deforestation
Desertification
Habitat Loss
As a general rule, the ___________ and ____________ the upper soil levels, the better it is in providing nutrients to plant life.
Harder
Darker
Lighter
Thicker
Softer
Natural vegetation will struggle the most to grow in this soil region of Canada (coloured purple on the map):
Pearson p. G117
Grassland Soils
Forest Soils
Mountain Soils
Tundra Soils - Permafrost
Natural vegetation will grow in some of these soil regions but not very well in others. This is because elevation is a factor and the nutrients in this soil region vary in their ability to supply nutrients to plant life (coloured blue on the map):
Pearson p. G117
Grassland Soils
Forest Soils
Mountain Soils
Tundra Soils - Permafrost
Natural vegetation will grow in some of these soil regions but not quite as well in others. This is because the nutrients this soil region vary in their ability to supply nutrients to plant life (coloured lighter shades of brown on the map):
Pearson p. G117
Grassland Soils
Forest Soils
Mountain Soils
Tundra Soils - Permafrost
Natural vegetation will grow very well in most these soil regions because the soil can be very fertile. This type of soil region can easily supply nutrients to plant life (coloured darker shades of brown on the map):
Pearson p. G117
Grassland Soils
Forest Soils
Mountain Soils
Tundra Soils - Permafrost
Which Natural Vegetation Region in the world is growing and poses a threat to all Natural Vegetation?
Nelson p.74
High Mountain Vegetation
Tropical
Forests
Grasslands
Desert
These are a type of tree that have needle shaped leaves that do not fall off in winter. These trees are more successful in colder climate zones. They also drop their seeds in cones.
Nelson p.76
Coniferous Trees
Deciduous Trees
Broadleaf Trees
Mediterranean Trees
Mixed Forest Trees
These are a type of tree that lose their leaves for part of the year (winter). These trees are more successful in a climate that has 4 distinct seasons.
