Climate Change On Forest

Over half of the world’s forests have been destroyed in the last 10,000 years. An extensive fire that destroys a great deal of land or property could be thought to help “benefit” the economic or environmental aspects of daily life, but the society is clueless on the harm it is causing. Nearly half of the Earth's original forest cover has already been lost and each year an additional 32 million acres are destroyed. Our world is facing the greatest extinction crisis since the fall of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. The future of many of Earth's plants and animals will be determined within the next few decades. Hopefully, it comes as no great surprise to you that deforestation is a major problem in many areas of the world, both in terms of

The many advantages trees have on earth is immense, when trees are lost it affects the worlds atmosphere and air quality. Trees are home to many ecosystems, they give shelter and food to the animals in their community, but they are being taken down. Animals without homes are more vulnerable to predators and hunters, and it is all a disruption to the ecosystem. Once taken down, the increase in greenhouse gasses rise,” Forests help to migrate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, but they become carbon sources” (Kerry Cesareo), much of these gasses have an impact in rising temperatures. The water cycle is also an important role in the rainforest and it has also been disrupted by deforestation. Erosion of soil,” And as fertile soil washes away, agricultural producers move on, clearing more forest and continuing

In British Columbia, there are two main ways that precipitation will change. One, annual average rainfall will go up every century by about 12% [1], and two, the intensity and frequency of droughts will increase [2]. It is predicted that, from 2070-2099, the average amount of precipitation falling on the wettest day of the year will go up by about 20% as compared to 1971-2000, and that the annual maximum number of consecutive dry days will go up by 20-30% [2]. While this means we will be getting a wetter winter, spring, and autumn, we will be getting a dryer summer [2]. The predicted dry summers are likely to affect the food sources of black bears and brown bears.

Three to six billion trees are cut down each and every year! Deforestation is a huge problem in the rainforests. Because these forests are home to much of the Earth’s species of life. Covering 30 percent of our land forests provide homes, protection, and oxygen for humans and other wildlife in the forests. There are 7.125 billion people that count on the benefits provided by the forest, which is: food, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter. If something isn 't done soon to reduce our carbon footprint, we will not have forests of any type to soak up the carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere.

Many forests are dying and that can have a major effect on plants and humans. Forests are dying off because of droughts, deforestation and invasive species. Dying forests can also alter global climate and change how much sunlight is being absorbed in the different hemispheres. Western North American forests are suffering because of the drought while humans are affecting southwestern forests. The removal of forests has different impacts on different parts of the world. In some places, it is a good thing while in other places it is bad. Scientists are trying figure out where and how the surrounding plants are affected negatively and positively.

People have long used forests as a source of food, wood, medicine, and recreation. When forests are lost, they can no longer provide these resources. Instead people must find other places to get these goods and services.

To use forests for their lumber and other natural resources, it is important to not only be informed on managing it, but it is also important to know what goes on naturally inside the forests. One of these natural phenomena are actually the threats to the forests themselves and how they can be affected by them. Canada has one-tenth of the world's forest and about 50,000 hectares of this is untouched (Dearden and Mitchell, 2016, P.287). With that, it also has one-third of the world's boreal forest as well (P.287). The chosen topic of this paper is Natural threats to Canadian forests. The specific situation chosen is how the climate change affects the natural threats to the Canadian boreal forests. The topic was chosen because it is relevant

Since the beginning of time, every single living organism on this planet has come to depend on one important thing, oxygen. One of the main sources of this life necessity is our trees. Trees are known to filter the air of many harmful pollutants and absorb carbon dioxide, making the air we breathe fresh and clear of toxins. But what happens when this source is eliminated from the environment? Deforestation, the removal of forests/trees, is a major ongoing issue that, not only has been happening for centuries, but is very well still occurring today. Although there are some positive aspects of deforestation, including building more communities, there are also many negatives that outweigh the positives. Scientists have estimated that between the years 1990-2015, the Earth lost approximately 129 million hectares of forest. The results have been catastrophic and include increased amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, the impending extinction of various different species, and major changes in the weather.

18 million acres of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization. Forests cover thirty percent of the earth. It is estimated that is one hundred years there will be no rainforests. The causes of deforestation are agricultural expansion, logging for timber, and infrastructure building.

As I am walking around on campus to my classes in this cold winter weather, I start looking at the trees and begin to wonder why some of them still have their needles on them. I notice that the trees that still hold their needles are not like deciduous trees in the fact that deciduous trees have leaves rather than needles, and they also lose their leaves before winter begins. I started to wonder if climate affects the coniferous trees like it affects deciduous trees. Deciduous trees change throughout the seasons by the change in color of their leaves and by their leaves falling in the winter. Coniferous trees however, look the same though out the seasons. I then came up with the question of does the climate affect the conifer trees in a significant way?

Maple trees and the maple syrup industry really help Climate Change. Not only are trees not getting cut down, more trees are getting planted so the company can keep up with the high demands for maple syrup. There are 34 million Quebec maple trees in production and 7,300 maple syrup production businesses in Quebec. This results in more trees using our carbon dioxide and through photosynthesis, giving us more oxygen. Quebec’s maple syrup-producing forests absorb and store 8 times more carbon than the maple syrup production process releases. Maple trees help us control climate change as CO2 emissions are a big part of climate change. It also helps the air quality because there is less CO2 in the air, but the maple trees also replace it with oxygen.

The total area of trees, over twice the size of Oregon disappeared from the Amazon Rainforest between 1970 and 2010. Some people believe that climate change is a hoax, while others think it real and is affecting us and the earth. Climate change is harming our environment we need to stop producing all of these harmful chemicals or wastes that is affecting animals habitats and our home.

Many rainforests are at risk of going extinct. The beautiful rainforests are going extinct because many people and companies are cutting down trees in the rainforests. This can also put the world in danger the world and its temperature. Many people are trying to get people to stop cutting down the trees.

Environmental issues affect every life on this planet from the smallest parasite to the human race. There are many resources that humans and animal needs to survive; some of the most obvious resources come from the forests. Forests make up a large percentage of the globe. The forests have global implications not just on life but on the quality of it. Trees improve the quality of the air that species breath, determine rainfall and replenish the atmosphere. The wood from the forests are used everyday form many useful resources. Moreover, thinning the forests increases the amount of available light, nutrients and water for the remaining trees. Deforestation (forest thinning) is one of the most

Recently a research was carried out, and the scientist found out that there was only 31% of the forest cover in the world (Song et al. 2014). The percentage shows that over half of the world’s forest cover has been consumed over the years and things are not getting any better since people are still venturing the forest (Song et al. 2014). There is many types of pollution that could effect the forest ecosystem and if the pollution will still increase that will lead to a manmade forest.
