blank verse

Explanation:

In the theory of literature, the Blank Verses are those that do not have rhyme schemes, however they can present metrics, as can be seen in the excerpt above.

Blank verses are widely used in literature, especially in romantic, modern and contemporary poetry.

Note that the verse is the name given to a line of poetry, the set of which is called a stanza. The rhyme represents approximation of sounds between the words in a verse.

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
