HUMAN IMPACT Humans negatively impact on the
biogeochemical cycles in the ecosystem, and the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorous cycle.

CULTURE Warm all year long, close to the equator. Almost made of two types of trees, deciduous
and evergreen.
LIMITING FACTORS Human Factor Building of mountain and forest communities
as a result of urban sprawl. Allelopathy Certain plants' ability to affect the soil acidity
