Description
Filmed in the Amazon and Borneo, this resource illustrates and explains the key environmental and land use changes occurring in tropical rainforests and explores the effect these changes are having on the carbon and water cycles. We accompany scientists up flux towers as they monitor CO2 emissions and find out why they're digging soil pits to examine decomposition rates. A fantastic case study to deepen students' understanding of carbon and water cycles. The programme includes 4 sections. Each section has its own supporting activities and notes written by Bob Digby, educational consultant, GCSE principal examiner and author of numerous geography text books.
