Tambopata is one of the most biodiverse rainforest of the amazon basin, small part of the “lungs of the world”. Rainforest play a huge important role in our world. Trees, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) that we exhale, and provide the oxygen (O2) we need to breathe. Although, deforestation in rainforest has been contributing to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, as a consequence atmospheric temperature may increase and threaten the viability of certain ecosystems. To understand this situation, we must comprehend that the majority of type of Plants conjuncted are the primary source for all of the biotic energy requirements of an ecosystem. In plants both photosynthesis and respiration occur. Plants respire all the time, respiration …show more content…
This was made for further comparison through a t-test between the CO2 Concentration levels between the Upper middle floodplain and the deforested area. Furthermore the sum of all average CO2 Levels was divided by 12 give us the total average atmospheric CO2 concentration level for each area. Table .1 Table .2 2. As all data measurements were gathered and processed with accurate digital instruments, Uncertainties are going to be disregarded. T-test: Furthermore by using a Graphic Calculator statistics, input the average CO2 concentration levels of both areas in to two lists and perform a 2 sample T-test. Results: Using a T distribution critical values table, we are able to appreciate the t-value of 0.465 is lower than the critical value of 2.0739 (22 d.f.) This suggest the results aren’t statistically significant at the 95% of confidence and that there’s no significant variation between the concentration levels of CO2 comparing both …show more content…
During daylight, as it was expected, in the Upper middle floodplain atmospheric CO2 concentration rates are lower, this because through photosynthesis the large amount of plants in the area absorb CO2 from the air. Nevertheless, in the deforested area, CO2 levels during daylight were noticeably higher than the upper middle floodplain, this because as there almost no plants and CO2 is no longer transformed through photosynthesis. Moving on, around 16:00 and 17:00 daylight fades away, and the respiration process becomes predominant again, though plants as metabolic product of respiration produce CO2. So the upper middle floodplain has higher amounts of CO2 concentration levels, as more plants are in the
