A: Forests provide timber, purify air, offer shelter to various species, prevent soil erosion, control floods, and act as noise absorbers.
Q: Why is interdependence between plants and animals important in a forest ecosystem?
A: Interdependence between plants and animals is crucial for their survival, as organisms interact with each other and their physical environment to derive energy and maintain the balance in the ecosystem.
Q: What negative consequences could occur if forests are not conserved?
A: If forests are not conserved, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air will increase, leading to higher global temperatures. Additionally, animals will lose their food sources and shelter, soil will lose its ability to hold water causing floods, and both lives and the environment will be endangered.
Q: What are some strategies for forest conservation?
A: Strategies for forest conservation include preventing overgrazing, promoting afforestation, protecting wildlife, and controlling forest fires.
Q: What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?
A: A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where each is a source of food for the next in the chain, while a food web is a complex network of interdependent food chains representing various relationships between organisms.
