Forest A forest (also called a wood, woodland, wold, weald, holt, frith) is an area with a high density of trees. Forests cover approximately 30% of land and 9.4% of all the planet earth. They are also responsible for regulating our planet's climate and act as large purifiers of airs, by absorbing carbon dioxide, and giving out oxygen. Different types of forests Forests are divided into following main types: o Tropical forest o Subtropical forest o Plantations o Boreal forest o Temperate forest o Seasonal or monsoon forest Tropical and Subtropical Forests Tropical and subtropical forests, also known as rainforests or tropical rainforests, are lavish and ample forests with broad leave tree. They are mostly found at lowlands near the equator - Asia, Africa, South & Central America and on many of the Pacific Islands. Almost 50% forests of the world are tropical
MIS ON MANGROVE FOREST ÜLDSE? Mangrove swamps are found in tropical and subtropical tidal areas. Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees appear to be standing on stilts above the water. This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the daily rise and fall of tides, which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day. The roots also slow the movement of tidal waters, causing sediments to settle out of the water and build up the muddy bottom. KAARDIGA SLAID

The United States of America (in North America) is a federal republic of 50 states. The total area of the United States is over 9.5 million square kilometres, making it the fourth largest country in the world in area. The capital city is Washington D.C. The major caracteristic of the United States is probably its great variety. Itranges from the Arctic to the subtropical, from the moist rain forest to the arid desert, from the rugged mountain peak to the flat prairie. Althought the total population of the United States is large by world standartst, over 302 million. The country embraces some of the world´s largest urban concentrations as well as some of the most extensive areas that are almost devoid of habitation. The population is highly diverse. In addition to native Americans and the descendants of Africans taken as slaves to America, the national
Endangered species The Giant Panda lives in central-western and southwesterns China. Although the panda is a carnivore, he has a diet which is 99% bamboo. Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate. The Giant Panda is endangered as there are only 2,000-3,000 of them living in the wild and about 270 living in captivity. They have become endangered due to the destruction of their habitat and the variety of bamboo that is decreasing. They are also illegally hunted for their fur. To protect them, there have been many special wildlife parks set up. Elephants live in Central Africa and are the largest land

Herb, which evolved into a cane, came from the Pacific Ocean from individual smaller islands, such as Polynesia and Melanesia. Experts have identified the origin of these herbs of 10 000 - 15 000 years ago, then. The original plant was on those from the smaller islands in Indonesia, India and China about 8,000 years ago and is now extinct. Today's sugar cane can grow up to six meters in height. Sugar cane growing tropical and subtropical climates. Since sugar cane requires a lot of water and heat, it can be grown only in southern Europe, including Spain, Portugal and Madeira. The world's largest sugar cane producers are Brazil, Cuba, India, the Philippines and Mexico. How do people use sugar content of sweet before it developed modern methods for the production of sugar?

long, it rises in the Australian Alps and flows to the south-west. The waters of Murray flow through several lakes, such as Lake Alexandrina and The Coorong. Other Lakes are L.Eyre and L.Mackay. Climate The seasons in Australia are the opposite of ours. It has summer while we have winter and the other way round. Australia has 4 climate zones: temperate, subtropical, tropical, equatorial. The northern shores are very hot, cause being close to the equator and the northern part gets plenty of rain. The western coast is dry and barren. In most parts of Autralia rainfall is very low. History Two hundred years ago, there were no white men in Australia, except the dark-skinned native Australians, called the Aborigines. Their only weapons were stone knives, simple
1800s it was used to mean "land with both grass and trees". It now refers to land with grass and either scattered trees or an open canopy of trees. Changes in fire management Savannas are subject to regular fires and the ecosystem appears to be the result of human use of fire. For example Native Americans created subtropical savannas by periodic burning in some areas of the US southeastern coast where fire-resistant Longleaf Pine was the dominant species. Aboriginal burning appears to have been responsible for the widespread occurrence of savanna in tropical Australia and New Guinea
It stretches over Eurasia and North America. The taiga is located near the top of the world, just below the tundra biome. The winters in the taiga are very cold with only snowfall. The summers are warm, rainy, and humid. Some of the animals in the taiga hibernate in the winter, some fly south if they can, while some just cooperate with the environment. GrasslandsGrassland biomes can be found in the middle latitudes. They can have either moist continental climates or dry subtropical climates. There are two different types of grasslands; tall-grass, which are humid and very wet, and short-grass, which are dry, with hotter summers and colder winters than the tall-grass prairie. In the winter, grassland temperatures can be as low as -40° F, and in the summer it can be as high 70° F. There are two real seasons: a growing season and a dormant season. Deciduos forest The average annual temperature in a deciduous forest is 50° F. The average rainfall is 30 to 60 inches a year
They vote in elections for both levels of government and they have to pay taxes to both levels of government. The American system of federation was imitated too, especially in English- speaking nations like Canada and Australia. Climate The climate of the U.S.A. differs greatly from one part of the country to another. The coldest climate is in the north, where there is heavy snow in winter and the temperature may go down to 40 degrees below zero. The south has a subtropical climate, with temperatures as high as 49 degrees in summer. Economy The United States is rich in various metals and minerals. It holds first place in the capitalist world for production of coal, iron and oil and it also produces silver and gold. It has a greatly developed car, machine, and ship-building industries, textile and food industries. Agriculture is very wide-spread, above all in the prairie regions, where wheat and other grain crops are grown

The sea surface temperature on the west coast of mainland Portugal varies from 13 °C (55.4 °F)-15 °C (59.0 °F) in winter to 18 °C (64.4 °F)-20 °C (68.0 °F) in the summer while on the south coast it ranges from 15 °C (59.0 °F) in Winter and rises in the summer to about 23 °C (73.4 °F) occasionally reaching 26 °C (78.8 °F). Both the archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira have a subtropical climate, although variations between islands exist, making weather predictions very difficult (owing to rough topography). The Madeira and Azorean archipelagos have a narrower temperature range, with annual average temperatures exceeding 20 °C (68 °F) along the coast (according to the Portuguese Meteorological Institute). Some islands in Azores do have drier months in the summer. Consequently, the island of the Azores have been identified as having a
farmers who have been unable to meet these rising costs, have been forced to leave farming and sell their land. Since 1925, the number of farms has decreased to about 2 million.

Iron, steel, power cables, jet aircrafts all come from there. Melbourne is known for producing motor vehicles, machinery, food and clothes. Tourism is also an important part of Australia's economy. More than 500000 people work on that profession. Tourists come mainly from Japan and New Zealand, but there are many visitors from the UK and the US also. Due to convenient climate, sugar cane, peanuts and many different fruits can grow in the tropical and subtropical parts of Australia. Wool industry is not important just for Australia, but for the whole world, because about 20% of all sheep lives there and about 25% of the world's wool comes from there. An interesting thing that you can see only in Australia is the road-train. It is a big truck with many trailers and it can be over 60 meters long. It is mainly used to transport livestock, but they can haul almost everything else also.

Western Australia. The capital is Perth. The largest state of Australia, this dry region is under the deserts and semideserts mostly. Bushland, so typical of this region, gives way to subtropical forests in the south west. In wetter parts of this region plains are used for breeding merino sheep. If possible, wheat, citruses and fruits are grown. This part of the country is extremely rich in minerals: lead, manganese, iron-ore, nickel, silver, gold, copper, bauxite and coal. Western Australia provides 75% of Australia's 240 tonnes of gold. Many immigrants live there because it was the last state to accept convicts. South Australia. The capital is Adelaide
cane started in the 1980s and has grown to 22.24 billion liters in 2007 (Zuurbier, 2008). Sugarcane is used as a feedstock for producing bioethanol and the residual leftover bagasse - is used in heat and power generation. That is one of the characteristic that gives sugarcane production an advantage over other fuels. But sugarcane is also the major source of sugar in the world; about 80% of today's sugar is made from sugarcane, cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas of the southern hemisphere. In Brazil, however, sugarcane utilisation for biofuels does not pose competition for sugar production, as sugarcane occupies about 10% of the current planted area, and only 50% of it is used for ethanol feedstock. Sugarcane cultivation takes up only 2.5% of the total agricultural land available and it has been predicted that there is plenty of potential for agricultural expansion (Padula et al, 2007). It is well accepted that, in Brazil, the current

Do you think you get enough sun? It's unlikely. Even in the endless summer of subtropical Miami, a surprisingly high incidence of vitamin D de ciency has been recorded, as most people either use sunblock or avoid prolonged sun exposure. Forty percent of Louisiana-based runners tested in another study, all of whom trained outdoors, registered insu cient vitamin D levels.
