Forest Biodiversity and Endangered Plant Species

Kathryn Scobie*

The term "biological diversity" is shortened to "biodiversity," which describes the diversity of life on Earth in terms of species, ecosystems, regions, and geographic locations. Georgia stands out for its variety; in its forests, 400 different types of trees and plants may be found. These forests can be found in humid-subtropical, temperate, sub-alpine, and alpine climate zones. Each zone's edaphic characteristics, such as soil moisture and depth, as well as the local temperature have a significant role in shaping the vegetation's composition and ecological variety, which in turn determines the emergence of many sub-communities.

Opinión

Future of Soil Science and Agroecological

Sara Palomo Campesino*

Organic farming upholds the values of health, ecology, fairness, and caring for all, including the soil, with the goal of promoting human welfare without endangering the environment. Modern organic farming is a concept that combines science, innovation, and tradition. Although history claims that the organic lifestyle movement was first identified in 1905, it gained traction in the late 1990s as people began to realise the negative impacts of modern agriculture. The British botanist Sir Albert Howard, who is frequently cited as the originator of contemporary organic agriculture, researched indigenous Indian farming techniques in 1905 and later grew to value them above mainstream agricultural science. Masanobu Fukuoka, a microbiologist in Japan who specialised in soil science and plant pathology, left his position as a research scientist in 1940 and went back to live with his family.

A Mini Review on Evolutionary Biology

Dave Dalton

Not everyone agrees that evolutionary biology has a place in medical education. Deans of medical schools and other educators frequently request proof that understanding evolutionary biology will increase the effectiveness of medical specialists. Citing concrete examples is a straightforward response. For instance, doctors need to be aware of how antibiotic resistance has developed, how pathogen phylogenies can be tracked, how selection has shaped the mechanisms that control protective responses like pain and fever, and the intricate relationships between evolution, the environment, and aging-related diseases. However, focusing only on such obvious applications undersells the value of evolutionary biology in medicine. Although it doesn't directly apply to daily life, basic science education in medicine is important for understanding the body and disease. "The principles that underlie biological complexity, genetic diversity, interactions of systems within the body, human development, and influence of the environment guide our understanding of human health, and the diagnosis and treatment of human disease," according to the AAMC-HHMI report's overarching principle number 2. Calculus, physics, and chemistry proficiency are required not because these subjects are frequently used in clinics but rather because doctors who are proficient in them will have a better understanding of the human body and will be able to make better medical decisions.
