Predict how an unusually prolonged drought might affect a biological community

1 answer:

3 0

A biological community depends upon the abiotic factors such as temperature, relative humidity, light, etc for their survival. Disturbances that occur in the environment such as fire, flood, drought, etc also damage the biological community. The biological community that can withstand in the prolonged drought condition survives while those are sensitive dies.
Due to prolonged drought, the water table of that area will decrease and no water will be available for consumption by animals and humans. Prolonged drought also affects the aquatic environment such as ponds, rivers, etc.
Scarcity of water and uncommonly dry weather are two factors that occurs due to prolonged drought. This will cause increase in mortality of crops and livestock. This will ultimately affect the agriculture of that area. The cattle are also affected by prolonged drought due to unavailability of fodder crops.

What are"debt for nature"swaps? how can they be used to encourage

larisa [96]

Answer:

"Debt-for-nature swaps" are just "financial transactions" from which a part of a nation's (Developing nation) foreign debt is forgiven. This is done in exchange of "local investments" for the purpose of environmental conservation measures.

Explanation:

The model for "debt-for-nature swaps", was outlined in the EAI (Enterprise for the Americas Initiative), was extended in the "Tropical Forest Conservation Act" (TFCA) to include the countries present around the world with 'tropical forests'.

With the help of the program, "debt can be restructured" only in eligible countries, and 'funds' generated through this transactions are used to support programs for "conserving tropical forests" within the 'debtor country'.

124.8 million dollars has been spent under the 'TFCA' to restructure loan agreements in '13 countries' and nearly 218.4 million dollars in 'local currency' will be generated in the next 12-26 years for 'tropical forest conservation projects'.

Thus, "debt for nature swaps" encourages the protection of "tropical rain forest".
