INTRODUCTION
Two very different ecosystems. Biodiversity determining factor
for ecosystems’ value. Biomass accumulation.
BIODIVERSITY
Degree of variation in organisms within a biome, an ecosystem, or an entire biosphere.
Harsh conditions shaped ecosystems.
Proximity to shoreline. Diverse zootomy and phytotomy.
FLORA
Sub-forest species. Plant adaptations. Diversity. Pollution.
FAUNA
Ecological compensation. Mimicry. Habitat. Behavior. Endangered species.
CLIMATE
Diverse temperatures and precipitation.
Humidity vs. Aridity Global Warming. Climate shift.
CONCLUSION
G.S.F. is more diverse than the C.N.F.
Climate duality. Location. Fauna. Flora.
INDIVIDUAL MEMBER IMPACT
Bird survivability at G.S.F. Human conscience. Plant adaptation to resist aridity. Plant use for basic needs. Human influence: use vs. abuse Wind shearing.
