Competition between deer and cow The purpose of this experiment is to look at the competition between deer and cows in one biome that will be decreased in size year by year for three years. Introduction: Grasslands are areas where there is a lot of vegetation and is mostly grass along with a little bit of sedge (cyberaceae) and rush (juncaceae) which are also types of vegetation. This is relevant because the experiment will be held in a grassland ecosystem. The climate of grasslands can go

Biome Description: The Savanna is one of many biomes in the world. It is characterized by its warm climate, lack of rain, grasslands, and its scattering of small trees and bushes. Many people see the Savanna as a midway point of a tropical rainforest and a desert. Climate and Location: Savanna biomes are located near the equator, therefore the climate, for the most part, is very warm. Ironically, this biome has very dry winters but very wet summers. During the winter season only an estimated

been viewed as the barbaric people who showed no mercy in battle against their enemies, but today people seem to be forgetting the kind, positive impacts they left on the world that helped shape many powerful countries. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing exploration with new inventions, such as the compass, fair and safe trade and creating the first ever written language that helped unite China

Genghis Khan was the ruler of the Mongolian Empire from 1206 to 1368, he had discovered many new inventions that impacted the Mongols. Was this impact good or bad? The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing exploration, trade, and written language. Because of these inventions, our world has been impacted by the rule of Genghis Khan and his following grandsons who ruled after the great leader. Before

Qing Empire and Qazaqs used different languages and alphabets while exchanging diplomatic correspondence between each other, such as Oyirad (Tod writing system), Manchu and Turki (Arabic writing system). Since translations of letters were performed, contents of the letters could be changed, and therefore choosing which language to choose was very significant at that time. Such transformation may be observed in the Ablai’s letter from 1757: in Oyirad language this letter is seemed more direct in statements

paper examines Genghis Khan's upbringing, historical background, early struggles, rise to power, unification of the Mongol nation, legacy, and impact on the world. Genghis Khan was born into a nomadic family in the harsh environment of the Mongolian steppe. His father, Yesugei, was a

societies. Often times, due to our lack of knowledge and reluctance to investigate, we associate the term “tribe” with words such as uncivilized, barbaric, and underdeveloped. Khazanov, in “Characteristic Features of Nomadic Communities in the Eurasian Steppes,” is a classic example that lead to misinterpretation of tribal societies as less civilized and lacking in structure. Describing tribes as kinship based societies with a strong emphasis on kinship, Khazanov is not mistaken in his argument. The significance

Liu Heima and Mongol forces led by Genghis Khan over the long run rule of northern grassland and therefore the enlargement of the Mongolian Empire. The background of the Mongols conquest of the Jin dynasty is that the Jin collected Tribute from the steppe tribes and caused rivalries between them. When the Mongols came together under Khabul Khan, the Jin got the Tatars to destroy them. The Mongols were able to guide them out of the there base. The Tatars finally captured the Kabul's successor and handed

countries. Western Europe had castles and fortresses to their advantage and the terrain was vastly different from the steppes of Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Russia. Although, one of the great strengths of the Mongolians were their “adaptability to local conditions” (textbook, pg 259). The invasion of Poland in 1241 “the battle of Liegnitz” (textbook, 256) was far from the rolling steppes of Central Asia. The thick forests surrounding parts of Poland suggests the difference in terrain was not an obstacle

In Richard Foltz book, Religions of the silk road: Premodern Patterns of Globalization, he introduces us to a trade network that runs across central Asia. This trade network is known as the Silk Road, this road is made up of many different paths predominantly moving East to West. Throughout the book we see Foltz describe the different religions, languages, and political connections among its travelers. Some of the religions seen across the silk road include Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. We see

There are similarities and differences between the steppe nomadic life and the life of the sedentary Muscovite life. The steppe nomadic life is portrayed through the Tatars, meanwhile the sedentary Muscovite life is portrayed through the Russians. Furthermore, the characters used within the novel are fictional, but the backdrop of the novel is historically accurate. Although different religions, the women are suppressed in similar ways within the steppe nomadic life and the sedentary Muscovite life.

agricultural land present. Similarly, the Hulunbeier steppe in China is comparable to the Canadian prairie, covering an area of approximately 100,000 km2. The grass quality in the Hulunbeier steppe is very good, making it a thriving area for the livestock industry. However, there are also differences between the two prairies. The climate in the Canadian Prairies is dry with cold winters and warm summers and low precipitation, whereas the Hulunbeier steppe has hot and rainy summers and is generally more

what Gilgamesh says “ Go, hunter, take with you Shamhat the harlot, when the wild beasts draw near the water hole, let her strip off her clothing, laying bare her charms, when he sees her, he will approach her, his beast that he grew up with on the steppe will deny him” on page 41 lines 155 though 158. When the hunter does Gilgamesh’s plan it works because Enkidu, who represents, wilderness, was ignorant to the fact that when he did lay on sham hat it would ultimately end up driving away the animals

and methods of ruling such as keeping traditions of Confucianism and squandering money greatly influenced China and the Ming dynasty culturally, demographically, politically and economically. This state was united by a simple tribesman among the steppe named Temujin. After his father was poisoned by political enemies, he began developing a personal following, which quickly expanded over numerous rival tribes. Over time, Temujin gradually persuaded his people to elect him as leader. After overcoming

Genghis Khan: The Culture of a Nomadic Empire I read The Conquest of Genghis Khan, written by Alison Behnke, which was about how Genghis Khan grew to power, and changed the world forever. Genghis Khan’s culture is obviously vastly different from mine. Genghis Khan was the founder and undisputed leader of the Mongol Empire. The Mongol Empire ruled with an iron fist in Asia through the 13th and 14th centuries. The Mongols were the largest contiguous land empire in history. Most people think that

developed different way of dealing with and accepting other religions. Between the two their tactics for developing military were quite different in the fact of who they enrolled and how members were chosen. They both brought in the traditions of the Steppe from Turkish and Mongol peoples. The two grew similarly in how they used previous empires as the basis for their empire. Between the Ottoman and Mughal empires there were many strong similarities in their forms of government and ideas. The two

revolutionary civilization wide system of legal rights and freedoms of religion. the newly interconnected globe that spread commerce and goods also spread disease such as the black death. The Mongol Empire had a uniform code of laws, ridding the steppes of theft, kidnapping and petty battles, establishing religious toleration and meritocracy. He united the Mongols under a core ethnic identity. With this unified identity they stopped battling each other over minor disagreements, and instead worked

Ancient China, bound by the Himalayan Mountains, the Gobi Desert, the Pacific Ocean, and the steppes to the north, was geographically isolated from other agricultural regions on the continent. The Yellow River Valley is often referred to as the Cradle of Chinese Civilization, however Chinese culture also developed in the Yangtze River and Huia River Valleys. The only real agricultural area, the North China Plain, accounted for just 12% of the country. They domesticated animals, established farming;

For many centuries, a religion and philosophy founded in India (c.525 B.C.) by Siddhartha Gautama flourished along the Silk Road as it impacted the way of living. The transformation of the religion, Buddhism, varied in different ideas and was heavily influenced by its teachings throughout Asia. After the collapse of the Han Dynasty, principles of the Buddha offered great comfort to China and changed the views of the world (Docs 1 & 5). In other areas such as Indonesia and Pakistan, architecture was
