How do land grant universities remain on the forefront of an ever-changing agricultural environment?
Q. I am a college student and our Ag Policy class has been asked this question. Does anyone have any good ideas? I appreciate any and all thoughtful input.

A. By providing the best research facilities, hiring the top research personnel in the country, and funding their research. The fact that this nation had the foresight to set up the Land Grant University research and extension program is the reason the US is leading the world in agriculture.

What are the Bad Effects of Agricultural Practices on the Environment?
Q.
Asked by rishabhagarwal_2006 - Thu May 18 12:43:13 2006 - Other - Science - 3 Answers - Comments
A. 1) Farming can cause soil erosion: e.g. Deforestation removes roots holding soil and allows extensive wind and water damage. 2) Farming causes desertification: This is when a desert gradually spreads to the surrounding areas of semi-desert, making them true desert! 3) Chemical pollution and habitat destruction are major problems: Careless use of fertilisers pollutes rivers and lakes, making them green, slimy and horrible. 4) Irrigation can cause environmental problems: creating dams involves flooding large areas. Wildlife habitats are destroyed and people have to be resettled! Hope I helped!

What changes in the environment led to the Agricultural Revolution?
Q. I can't seem to find this answer ANYWHERE.
Asked by Ivy,Kidd. - Sat Mar 20 05:38:35 2010 - Agriculture - 1 Answers - Comments
A. the agriculture revolution came after the end of the ice age, when the human population began to grow as a result of the environment becoming more suitable for hunting and gathering, hunters and gathers brought back more food. This increase in population lead to increased competition between hunter gatherers and eventually some people were forced to farm in order to survive.

A. Of course. If you are scientifically inclined and have what it takes to become a research scientist, there are a number of fields which can include study in the rain forests. What is your interest, aside from working in the rain forest? Biological sciences, earth sciences, etc.? Assuming you are not yet in college, when you investigate a college or university that you want to attend, find out what research the professors in your intended major are doing and where they are doing it.

Is it true that it is easier to get sick in tropical rainforests than in any other type of forests?
Q. What about other forests that are also thick but are not tropical rainforests? Academic/scientific sources is greatly appreciated :)
Asked by Anonymous #265 - Mon Nov 15 01:15:32 2010 - Botany - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Well it is extremely easy to get sick in a tropical rainforest, for two reasons. 1: it is very very wet there, and really humid. This wet environment is great for bacteria, who are everywhere. This constant humidity also weakens your immune system some. 2: Mosquitos and other bugs (mostly Mosquitos) carry sicknesses, such as malaria. You must be very careful what you eat for there are many animals that carry parasites, and MANY poisonous plants.

Asked by rishabhagarwal_2006 - Thu May 18 13:34:46 2006 - Other - Science - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Agriculture frees people for dependence on natural resources. As such we no longer need to run the risk of exterminating plant and animals species by over hunting and over harvesting as happens in pre-agricultural societies. Agriculture also allows for technology, everything from writing through to nuclear power. As such agricultural people have a far better understanding of the consequences of their actions and the changes that are taking place around them. Pre-agricultural people, being illiterate, had a cultural memory span of just 150 years. Any effects of their environmental practices such as such as climate change or species extinctions that took place at slower scales were invisible to them and could not be dealt with. As a result… [cont.]

A. In countless ways: 1. It is obvious that unless there is enough food, the society is going to be in trouble. This means that without agriculture, civilization disappears. 2. History suggests that once a civilization has destroyed its soil, the civilization dies. 3. Then there is the damage done to the environment by modern agricultural practices such as heavy use of fertilizer: use of antibiotics in raising animals: the use of fuel for both growing the food and shipping it to market; etc. 4. Then there the political effects and the international ramifications of the subsidies the U.S. and European governments give to their farmers: And the list goes on.

Why are deciduous forests poor in species compared to tropical rainforests?
Q. Also, how are the leaves of Tropical rainforest different from those of deciduous trees.
Asked by t a - Fri Oct 5 22:58:58 2007 - Botany - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Deciduous forests are species poor compared to tropical rainforests due to fluctuations in climate. Deciduous forests tend to exist in temperate climate belts which shift away from and towards the poles during glacial and interglacial periods, whereas the tropical climate belt tends to shrink closer towards the equator. Therefore the vegetation has undergone greater extremes of climate over millions of years thus species extinction rates are far higher in the temperate belt than in the tropical belt. If we compare number of temperate tree species in North America (NA) and Europe there are far greater NA tree species. This is because the last ice age affected Europe far more than NA. As vegetation is the basis for all food chains, if the… [cont.]

Is the windward side of mountains usually rainforests or regular forests?
Q. I know that when clouds roll over mountains the rain becomes heavy and drops on the windward side, causing the leeward side to become a desert. No need to explain that to me. What I want to know is what the conditions are on the windward side. I know it's usually forested due to the copious amount of rain, but I can't seem to find a decent example of exactly what kind of forest it is.

How is science helping the environment through the development of energy saving means of travel and transport?
Q. Does anyone know anything about hydrogen buses and solar bicycles and how science is helping the environment with the development of both vehicles?
Asked by Stevie S - Sun Apr 15 12:08:42 2007 - Other - Cars & Transportation - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Most vehicles emit sulphur monoxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide when the petrol is burnt. This contributes to global warming, acid rain, even skin problems e.g. cancer. Hydrogen vehicles produce water which doesn't damage the environment. Solar panels use energy from the sun to go, which also doesn't emit harmful gases, and damage the environment.
