Monocular vision is vision using only one eye. It is seen in two distinct categories: either a species moves its eyes independently, or a species typically uses two eyes for vision, but is unable to use one due to circumstances such as injury. [1] Monocular vision can occur in both humans and animals (such as hammerhead sharks).
Forest area net change rate per country in 2020. Deforestation is defined as the conversion of forest to other land uses (regardless of whether it is human-induced). [14] Deforestation and forest area net change are not the same: the latter is the sum of all forest losses (deforestation) and all forest gains (forest expansion) in a given period ...
The documentary is a follow-up to Attenborough's Climate Change – The Facts (2019). [3] It premiered on 13 September 2020 on BBC One at 8 p.m. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The audience peaked at an estimated 4.5 million viewers; BBC commissioner Jack Bootle reported that viewership rose by 600,000 over the course of the program.
Changes in forest area (like deforestation) may follow a pattern suggested by the forest transition (FT) theory, [9] whereby at early stages in its development a country is characterized by high forest cover and low deforestation rates (HFLD countries).
A simple eye or ocellus (sometimes called a pigment pit [1] [2]) is a form of eye or an optical arrangement which has a single lens without the sort of elaborate retina that occurs in most vertebrates. These eyes are called "simple" to distinguish them from "compound eyes", which have multiple lenses. They are not necessarily simple in the ...
Deforestation is a primary contributor to climate change, [1] [2] and climate change affects the health of forests. [3] Land use change , especially in the form of deforestation, is the second largest source of carbon dioxide emissions from human activities, after the burning of fossil fuels .
In another article published by Nature, it points out that tropical deforestation can lead to large reductions in observed precipitation. [15] This concept of land-atmosphere feedback is common among permaculturists, such as Masanobu Fukuoka, who, in his book, The One Straw Revolution, said "rain comes from the ground, not the sky."
