Codri
Codru (plural form: ''codri''; en, forests or woods) is the name of the forests that grow in the hilly part of central Moldova. History During the Middle Ages most of the Principality of Moldavia's hills were forested, and the forested area in general was referred to as ''codrii'', with bigger regional forests often given names such as ''Codrii Cosminului'' (''Cosmin Codrii''), ''Codrii Plonini'' (''Plonini Codrii''), ''Codrii Hotinului'' (''Hotin Codrii''; also ''Pădurea Hotinului'', ''Hotin Forest''), ''Codrii Orheiului'' (''Orhei Codrii''), ''Codrii Lăpușnei'' (''Lăpușna Codrii''). Although the hills represent about 80%–90% of the territory of Moldova, the forested area has decreased after 1800 due to intensive agriculture of the fertile land to about 12%. At the moment the area of the forest is continuously decreasing, both in surface and ecologically. In early 21st century the area is estimated under 35%. Despite the fact that there are still several big forests that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
