Biology

4 0

Answer: Option C  

Explanation:

Peat swamp forest can be defined as the forest where the water logged soil prevents the wood and  dead leaves( organic matter ) from fully decomposing.

It slows down the rate of decomposition. A thick layer of acidic peat is crated over a longer period of time.  

Large areas of the forests are logged at higher rates. This is how the water helps in the creating the peat swamp forests.

Arboreal

Explanation:

Arboreal Definition:

Arbor is a Latin word meaning “tree”. Thus, arboreal means “related to or pertaining to trees”. The other similar words (synonyms) include arborous, arboraceous, arborary. Arbiform is the word used for expressing the term “resembling a tree”

Arboreal Animals

Arboreal animals : are those animals that spend most of their life on trees. They feed, travel, play, and sleep on trees. They prefer to grow their young ones on the trees, which is a difficult task because the newborns are always prone to fall on the ground from height. However, they have adapted themselves in such a manner that these animals can now easily live on such heights. Examples of such animals include chameleons, lizards, green tree pythons, tree snails, koalas, squirrels, cats, monkeys, parrots, sloths, and a variety of insects. Leopards and goats are also considered arboreal because of their excellent ability to climb the trees. Leopards can carry their kills to the top of trees to avoid other predators and scavengers.
