Tropical rain forests and their importance for the Global Eco-system

the world's tropical rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Previously, when we know that we are all aware of their importance in our lives. Today there are more than two thirds of the tropical rainforests of the world as the fragmented remains of their former glory. The man in his unbridled quest for power and domination over nature continue to destroy the sacred trust that is a heritage that the planet itself depends on our home Spaceship Earth in the balance. What can be done in this orderNow in order to reverse the trend towards the right?

tropical rain forests and their importance for global ecosystem and human existence, therefore, are important. Unparalleled in terms of biological diversity, tropical rainforests are a natural pool of genetic diversity, which provides a rich source of medicinal plants, foods that are high performance, and a wealth of other useful forest resources. This is an important habitat for migratory animals and to support as much as fifty percent ofSpecies of life on our planet, not to mention a number of different and unique indigenous cultures. Tropical rainforests play an important role in regulating global climate as well as maintaining regular rainfall, while buffering against floods, drought and erosion. They store large amounts of carbon, while producing more than a considerable amount of oxygen in the world.

Despite their important role, are the tropical forests around the small area confined between latitudes22 ° North and 22 ° south of the equator, or in other words, between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. Since most of the land north of the village land to tropical rain forests are naturally restricted to a relatively small area to the surface of the world total.

Like so many other places of natural tropical rainforests are a dwindling resource of the 21st Century. The vast areas of forest, marsh, desert, savannah, and that the earth's surface a simple carpetFive generations scattered fragments have been reduced. Today there are more than two thirds of the tropical rainforests of the world as fragmentary remains. Only a few thousand years, the tropical rain forests, as 12 percent of the earth's surface, or about 6 million square miles (15.5 million square kilometers), but today less than 5 percent of the Earth's surface is covered covered by these forests, or 2.41 million square miles or 625 million hectares). The largest tract of contiguousAmerica is the rainforest located in the Amazon basin in the south. More than half of this forest lies in Brazil, which holds about one third of the world's remaining forests in tropical rain. Another 20 percent of the world's remaining rainforests in Indonesia and the Congo basin, while the rest of the planet, there are rainforests in tropical regions worldwide spread.

The global distribution of tropical rainforests can be divided into four geographical areas of bio-basedabout four forested continental regions: the Ethiopian and Afro-tropical, Asian or Australian, Australian, Asian or Indo-Malayan/Asian, and neo-tropical.

E 'is therefore essential that the little that remains of this vital area is preserved and maintained. Because it would be more sluggish than it already is, you can also throw in the towel and admit that not only deserve our place on this planet and we can go all our dead to know that we havethe generation that turned its back to life.

But is there a way we can all contribute, so that the local power and vitality are due back in the rainforests of our world. known to those of the performance of an ancient Ayurvedic methods Agnihotra we can play an important role that no other technology can be known by man to do to comply. We can can our local newspaper performance and participation in this new technology back to breathe life into the rainforest in the worldand at the same time to increase our awareness and the whole of humanity, the collective consciousness of this makes the heart of the problem. lack of awareness of man is the cause of chaos in which we are today, and so here it is, we must work to make the change. Join me in this great work and address the challenges facing this dilemma or disaster we have no one to blame but ourselves the fruits of our joint action.

Aquarium test kits, what they are used and their importance for freshwater and saltwater

It 's always better, how many different test kits, as you can afford it (as far as fresh water or salt

I prefer to buy my kits separately as most master test kits double check I do not need (high range and low pH range) and let me serve as KH and GH, or perhaps phosphate, calcium or redox

Here is a list of test kit freshwater, and are looking for in order of importance:

[1] test kit for ammonia, the ammonia is very toxic even atlow level should be maintained at or near 0. Ammonia test kits can not be seen between highly toxic ammonia (NH 4) and only slightly toxic ammonia (NH3). Products like the first, and Ammolock Amquel convert NH4 NH3, so your level of toxic ammonia test is not due to the use of these products. Ammonia (NH3) converts the values of pH higher ammonia levels so high as for each test are much more toxic at higher pH-NH4.

[2] KH & GH test kit, you'll notice, I putthat above a pH test kit, which hold due to the fact that a low kH a stable pH is almost impossible. And calcium (as tested in GH) is more important to the health of many fish hobbyists credit.

* To maintain a Cardinals KH & GH of about 60 ppm (2-3 dKH & GCH) for Discus, Rams, Amazon and other fish.

* A KH and GH of 80 -100 for tropical fish, including most Gouramis, Bettas, Angelfish, ect.

* A KH and GH of 100-200 for the goldfish,Molly, plating, Guppy, ect.

* A KH and GH of about 200 for African Rift Lake cichlids and brackish water fish like monos and feces.

"Hold calcium, magnesium and KH in the aquarium, how to make a good KH, why calcium and electrolytes are important: For more information about calcium and magnesium, see my article.

[3] or Low Range High Range pH Test Kit, you should keep only one or the other for the type of aquarium you need.
Not being clear on StresspH, as well as many aquarists go by sea here! For example Discus generally done better than 6.5, but I know that breeders discus with a well of water with a pH above 7.0

I recommend a High Range Test Kit for goldfish and livebearers should have a pH of 7.5 to 7.8 specific. Rift Lake Cichlids African should have a pH above 8.0
I recommend a Low Range Test Kit for Freshwater Fish General Municipal (6.8 to 7.4) or Amazonian fish (under 6.8)

[4] nitrateTest Kit, this test is important to know when to change your water (along with KH), and how good your tank is generally long-term health. Nitrates are also show how well your plants consume nitrogen containing nutrients, and when the Aquarium really suck as the removal of sludge. Some filters, such as in particular under the gravel, and wet and dry vacuum can be nitrate factories if not treated properly.
For freshwater fish as a nitrate contentless than 40 ppm is incorrect or greater than 15 ppm of aquarium plants.

[4] for the nitrite test kit, you'll notice, I did not last because it is not important, only if a concern or review period of the budget is a factor, this parameter is often hours or levels of ammonia days. Nitrite should be at or near 0.

[5] Test Kit Phosphate, usually only necessary in planted aquariums, which adds a great deal of "ferts (manure) or when uncontrollable growth of algae. This testKit is often more important for ponds where rainwater can wash the residue with a high phosphate content in the pond.
Your aquarium (or pond), the phosphorus levels should be as close to 0 as possible.

[6] ORP meters, take the majority of these parameters of the water itself, on condition of livestock including Aquarium effective, regular water changes to keep pace with the ionized water rights, a value of GH and KH of 50 ppm (80 ppm I find better). That said, this is a good indicatorCheck if you have problems with Cyanobacteria (Blue Green Algae), or if it is correct with outstanding issues and any additional testing (unless you have an unknown disease). I recommend every aquarist at least familiar with the redox potential, here is a more in depth article about Aquarium Redox is: "The redox potential in fish tanks (and ponds) and how it relates to proper aquatic health.

You methylene blue according to the standard dose used for your aquarium(Remove the water for this test), and there is a bright blue, you probably have a positive ORP. If the color all over (even if only slightly), you probably have a reduction of the number. This test does not replace the accuracy of the ORP meters, but it's an easy way to get a handle on health Redox your aquarium.
ORP your aquarium should be around -300 mV.

Seawater,

The list will remain similar, and I'll describe the Bypass with swim testKit

[1] ammonia test kit, which should be 0, as in FW

[2] KH test kit, you do not need a GH test kit for saltwater aquariums. KH (or alkalinity, as shown in aquariums) to about 240 ppm (13 dKH)

[3] PH High Range Test Kit, your pH should be between 8.2 to 8.4

[4] Hydro meter, the meter test the specific gravity of aquarium water (in simple terms, the amount of salts). There are two types, floating glass hydrometer, which are most vulnerable but also moreAccuracy or hydrometer simple needle which is filled with water. E 'with two types of hydrometer, rinse them with vinegar important (rinse well) for the accumulation of hard water, which then leads to avoid inaccurate readings.

[4], nitrate test kit, nitrates are best for aquariums, saltwater fish under 40 and under 20 (even less if possible) for reef aquariums

[5] calcium test kit, in place of the GH test kit for fresh water.
Calcium is important for allMarine life (including fresh water, as is often sad), but it is absolutely necessary for proper growth of corals in aquariums. Bio-availability is important, Sea Chem Reef Calcium polygluconate probably one of the best and most bio-available calcium for salt water aquariums.
The levels of calcium marine should be between 400-450 ppm

[6] nitrite test kit, which should be 0, as in FW

[7] Test Kit magnesium, magnesium is an essential elementPart of chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis, the plants, including algae and corals. Maintaining a correct magnesium concentration is very important and is indirectly responsible for the rapid growth of corals and calcareous algae due to the maintenance of calcium and alkalinity, and correct data as possible. Magnesium is algae and excessive use of hard water out. Magnesium is what binds calcium in solution when low levels of calcium are useful, arewell as up. wrong decisions by the buffer of the marine environment further on this issue the reason why I recommend Ocean Chem Marine Buffer to adjust alkalinity in saltwater aquariums (and even tanks of freshwater fish), as this magnesium product, added calcium and sodium bicarbonate in the right metric.
magnesium levels in marine aquariums should 1200-1400 ppm.

[8] ORP meters, such as fresh water, I suggest -300 mV, except for ORP is more important in marine environments.

[9]Test kit phosphate in fresh water should be as close to 0 High levels of phosphate in sea water tanks can play havoc with the health and growth of living corals (phosphates can block the absorption of important minerals)
