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.
