Characteristics and Distribution
Biodiversity hotspots are regions containing exceptional concentrations of endemic species facing significant environmental threats. These areas represent just 2.3% of Earth's land surface but contain over 50% of the world's endemic plant species. Major ho
Basic Principles
Quantum computing leverages quantum mechanical phenomena like superposition and entanglement to perform calculations. Unlike classical computers that use bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This fundamental difference enab
Traditional Forest Management
Indigenous communities developed sophisticated forest management systems over generations. Native Americans used controlled burning to maintain forest health and biodiversity. Amazon tribes created "terra preta" soil enrichment techniques that remain effect
