The Destruction Of The Caledonian Forest

Deforestation in the Deciduous Forest has become a very large problem over the past few years. It not only impacts the environment, but the wildlife and the humans as well. Deforestation is defined by Dictionary.com as: to clear of trees, the cutting down or removal of most of the trees. This has a tremendous impact on all living organisms and can have long lasting effects on the environment. If this issue isn’t solved soon, then we will soon find ourselves in a great deal of problems. Deforestation in the Deciduous Forest is a serious problem and needs to be stopped.

Every forest has a story to tell. By looking closely at its habitants, that story can be interpreted. Much of this narrative is written in the trees: their age, their tolerance to shade, and the rate at which they grow are all characteristics that can imply a lot about their environment. Exploring these relationships and how they connect with each other can indicate the health and history of the land. Heiberg Forest, located in northern New York, was once used for agricultural purposes in the 1800-1900’s. (Nowak, Lecture Notes) Much of the land once used for farming was left to regrow back into a young forest. The life history of different tree species can be determined by examining the most common species in Heiberg.

The story Ferngully is a fairy tale that teaches us the moral lesson of the importance of protecting wildlife. The story is about a fairy named Crysta that lives in a rainforest named Ferngully. Crysta saves Zak, a human logger, which she shrinks to save his life from a falling tree. She does not know how to return him back to normal. As time goes on, Zak starts to have feelings for Crysta. More humans come to destroy the rainforest but Zak doesn’t tell Crysta that he was one of the human destroyers’. Crysta’s fairy community starts a battle against the human loggers and they eventually stop the machines. Crysta gives Zak a seed as a reminder to remember all the wrongdoing that the deforestation and pollution caused before she returns him back to normal size.

"steward" is used to mean that no one can truly "own" the land, it can only be

Natural Resources Canada defines biodiversity as the “variety of life”, and expresses that endangered tree species are mainly threatened by forest clearance. In tandem with forest clearance, climate change also places stresses on endangered tree species, such as increased insect outbreaks and drought. Canadian forests compose 10% of the world’s total forests, and they consist of a wide range of plant and animal species, which places significance need for the impact of clearcutting in Acadian forests to be addressed. This paper will analyze how clearcutting severely impacts the biodiversity of Acadian forests through the review of several reports, articles, and studies, will include the past and present logging practices and finally

Walking into the primary woodlands of the Heiberg forest you immediately notice the immense amount of plant diversity. Along the trees I was able to spot different types of ferns that blanketed the small mounds of dirt, which were also home to enormous sugar maple trees. The bumpy nature of the ground proved that the land I was walking on had not been clear-cut and plowed, but, strangely enough, left alone. As we continued along going deeper into the forest, the slight elevations in ground level began to smooth out, and the amount of plant diversity decreased and changed from sugar maples to spruces. Not only was there a difference in species, but the order in which the trees were planted gave way to the secondary woodlot. The height of trees was noticeably different, which can have effect on the species closer to the surface. Due to the high demand in the northeast for agricultural and logging purposes, the structure and composition of the Heiberg forest has changed considerably. Early colonialism in America resulted in deforestation of the land in order to provide the imperialistic Europe with the resources they desired. This desire most likely stemmed from the overuse of their own land.

The contemporary social phenomenon that I would like to discuss is the topic involving the destruction of ecosystems. Like a human community, an ecosystem operates in a similar fashion with plants, animals and other living things sharing an environment's resources such as air, food, and water (soil in the case of plants). In order for the ecosystem to maintain itself every living organism has to play a part in retaining the balance, but when this balance is disrupted the impact can be significant for many of the living things that rely on the ecosystem. An area with an issue such as this is the Amazon rainforest located in Brazil, which has one of the most complex ecosystem environments in the world and yet suffers from the ongoing act of deforestation

Deforestation in Australia What is the issue? Australia is among one of the wealthiest nations. It has a small population of almost 24million but has a high rate of extensive deforestation and degradation since the later 18th century during European settlement. Most of Australia, around 7.6million

Australia Environmental problems- In Australia there’s several different factors that contribute to the economic downfall. Deforestation, and overfishing are two of the factors. Deforestation is default that affects so many areas around the world. 18 million acres of forest are lost each year because of deforestation.

Forests are an irreplaceable part of Earths ecosystem. Every forest is unique due to flora and fauna which houses it. They are homes for many species from simple bacteria to big carnivore animals. Forests absorb carbon dioxide and provide oxygen and is a great place for recreation and biological studies. Temperate forest of northeast United States is an example of rich diversity and harmony of plants and animals. Unfortunately, constant growing of human population and demand for more land for agriculture and housing leads to deforestation and destroying of the natural habitats. Deforestation and Agriculture, are an two of many factors which have negative impact on temperate forest in northeast United States.

British Columbia has relied on forestry as an economical export resource for about 100 years. In B.C we have two main forests, the coastal forest, which contains the dominant species of the western hemlock (figure 1.). But, also contain red cedar and Douglas fir below the 51st parallel. (Text pg. 128- 129) This is typically a very dense sprawling forest, with large trees. Opposed to the interior forest, that mainly is populated with lodge pole pine and spruce trees. These trees are both small and spread further apart from one tree to another. (Figure 2)

The medieval woodland is older than Savage’s Wood, which the earliest record of is from 1880, and has an area of 32-hectares. It’s traditional management of coppicing and pollarding ensures that the indigenous vegetation continues to grow and like Savages Wood, the canopy is dominated by oak and hornbeam, however it also has a broader biodiversity with other trees such as heather grow and dog’s mercury. In addition to this, King’s Wood also has a wide range of moss and mushrooms. The Bedfordshire woodland is an example of the indigenous temperate deciduous woodland of the UK, and due to it’s ancient status, it has over 250 species of plants and a large variety of wildlife than Savage’s Wood. However, it proves that Savages Wood is an example of an indigenous temperate deciduous woodland of the UK to an extent as there are many similarities; both woodlands have a similar stratification of the canopy, the shrub layer, the undergrowth and the litter layer. Also, similar plant species are found at both sites, with oak, ash, beech, hornbeam and wych elm being

The variety of habitats in Fiordland support a diverse range of flora and fauna, with many developing in

Uncommon species usually constitute significant extents of the community. (Saether 2013) Since we learned that a community is group of population of diverse organisms living together at the same place and same time. However, a diverse occasion over time that disrupts community, stem and changes physical environment is called community diversity. Every community has its own physical structure like, size or shape, vertical or horizontal. There is many factors that can affect community diversity, for instance environmental complexity, species interactions, disturbance, etc... A Forest experience change over time and tolerate with different stages through a process called succession. After this trip, students are able to explain the process of succession and how it can develop over time. Also, we predicted that abiotic conditions and biotic conditions influence the change of a community. (Ecology Lecture notes.) We need to determine by collection all these data if the LaBagh Woods is stable or in

Car horns are honking. Traffics jammed up for a mile. People race past you, shrieking "I'm late! I'm late!" The general population doesn’t seem to even count as a life form! They’re too caught up in being late for their next meeting, and fixing up their makeup. I think it’s safe to say, the only other “living life form” anyplace close to you is the withering tulip on your doorstep. You're in London. You're in the deciduous forest. In fact, most people live in the deciduous forest biome! Chances are you’re in one right now…
